The vastly controversial Secret Empire has now wrapped up, meaning the hundreds of fans who hated the idea of Steve Rogers becoming a Nazi dictator can breathe easy again. At the conclusion of the crossover event, the Cosmic Cube’s changes to reality were reversed and the heroic Rogers returned to reclaim his place as Captain America. But he was still missing one vital part of the ensemble…
The following Marvel event has been Generations, a series of one-shots which pairs a different original hero up with the legacy character who took on their mantle. In Generations: Sam Wilson Captain America and Steve Rogers Captain America #1, Wilson ended up stuck in the past, specifically in World War II. Unable to stay out of the fight, he became a wartime myth known as “The Man in the Air.” His heroics even inspired Steve, still new to being Captain America at the time,...

This review is based off a volume that collects Captain America: Sam Wilson #14-17 and Captain America (1968) #344.
If you’re an avid reader of comic books, you’re no doubt well aware that the past decade has seen its share of younger heroes stepping up to claim the mantle of their mentors, sometimes to the chagrin of staunch purists. Marvel has especially championed this method of storytelling in recent years, with Captain America: Sam Wilson being a prime example.
To be honest, I actually find stuff like this to be very appealing, but mostly when it occurs organically and fits well with the established mythos of the relevant hero. Past examples include Dick Grayson becoming Batman and Bucky Barnes becoming Captain America. Having mentioned the latter, you could argue this as having been done before, but at least it makes sense that Sam be worthy of wielding the shield as opposed to,...

Marvel has been teasing the return of their legacy heroes for some time now, and while we have no idea what exactly the Marvel Universe will look like following the events of Secret Empire, it appears as if Sam Wilson will no longer be wielding the shield as Captain America. Instead, he looks set to return to being the Falcon during the event, something which is evident from the images in the gallery above.
In the first photo, the hero can be seen alongside Mockingbird, Quicksilver, Hercules, Iron Man and Ant-Man on the cover of Jeremy Whitley and artist Eric Koba’s Secret Empire: Underground. The second one, meanwhile, is the cover of May 31st’s Captain America: Sam Wilson #22. On both, Sam is suited up as the Falcon rather than as Captain America,...

It’s finally time to pack away the bulky Winter coats and jackets, or at least regulate them to the far corners of the closet, because Summer has truly arrived. A new tradition heralding the seasonal start began eight years ago with the first major Marvel Studios release Iron Man, and almost every first weekend of May since has seen another “box office buster” storm the nation’s, now the world’s, theatre screens. Like the “star-spangled man”, these exec do have a plan, mapping out groups of films as a “phase”. That 2008 classic marked the beginning of “phase one” that concluded with the first titanic team-up of heroes, Marvel’S The Avengers. “Phase two” finished up last Summer with Ant-man and the second Avengers epic. Who better to usher in the beginning of “phase three” than the first Avenger himself, Steve Rogers? But the good Captain now faces a...

Our series on remakes continues and this time we’ve got one that you may not even realize was filmed in live-action before. In honor of the release of Captain America: Civil War on Friday, we’re talking about the star spangled man with the plan. This week, Cinelinx looks at Captain America: The First Avenger.
It’s not too often that a remake is much, much, much better than the original but we have one of those rare instances in the case of Captain America. Years before Captain America: The First Avenger, the first movie version of the star-spangled hero of WW2 was filmed in 1990 and directed by Albert Pyun.
This movie…was awful! It has a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and went directly to a video release, wisely bypassing theaters to prevent millions of people demanding their money back. Captain America is played in this mess by Matt Salinger,...

Captain America Didn’T Take A Conservative Approach
Sometimes a banana is just a banana.
It was all over the news. Well, all over Fox News, anyway. Captain America was targeting conservatives.
Which he wasn’t.
What happened – as best I can fathom, as even Quentin Tarantino would have had a difficult time following the nonlinear storytelling in Captain America: Sam Wilson #1 – is this. Some weeks back, super villain the Iron Nail neutralized the Super-Soldier Serum in body of Steve Rogers, the original Captain America. Without its effects, Steve Rogers, who was born in 1920, found his body rapidly aging to that of a 94-year-old man. (Question: did the story explain why Steve’s body rapidly aged to 94? Sure Steve was born on July 4, 1920, or 94 years ago, when he lost the Serum. But he spent all the time from early 1945 until The Avengers #4 in suspended animation. Marvel says Fantastic Four...

Captain America is about to turn 75 and Marvel will celebrate in a big way. The entertainment giant recently announced that ABC will air Captain America: 75 Heroic Years on Tuesday, January 19 at 8 p.m. to commemorate Cap’s Hitler-punching debut from Jack Kirby and Joe Simon.
The special befits the character’s iconic status and prominence in both today’s comics and Marvel’s films. Actors, writers, artists, and others who’ve been involved with Captain America will appear throughout the celebration, but that’s not the most intriguing part.
“An exclusive announcement from Marvel comics” is promised as part of the special. Previously, the publisher has turned to The View (for the female Thor) and The Colbert Report (for Sam Wilson as Captain America) to announce major shifts for its characters. With no hint to what’s coming, examining the possibilities could help illuminate Marvel’s plans for everyone’s favorite patriot.

Love the Coopers is as problematic as its title. Does it mean love from the Coopers or is it a statement that someone loves the Coopers (perhaps its narrator — we’ll get to that a moment), or perhaps something else? Unlike its title, the message here is painfully simple. Here’s a film that’s so sincere it forgets to spice things up a bit. Told though a narrator who spells it all out without any wit or commentary (we later find out why this narrator, voiced by Steve Martin, is all knowing and God-like), we’re introduced to a wide ensemble spanning four generations in suburban Pittsburgh.

Marvel used to be wary of the legacy game. Sure, the odd villain or minor hero would pass a mantle on here or there, but it’s never been a consistent move. The publisher was always more content to give characters new titles rather than give them established ones, unless it made narrative sense to do so like when Bucky Barnes became Cap or Kate Bishop earned the Hawkeye moniker.
Meanwhile, DC loves the idea of legacy. Not only are there constantly new Batmen, Green Lanterns and Flashes on a regular basis, there’s even a gang of Robins now (and they weren’t even taken in and trained by Bruce first!). You could even argue that some characters like Wally West were more popular than the ones they replaced. Now Marvel has joined the program and is passing over its largest legacies left and right to great effect and acclaim.

I guess it’s just an occupational hazard with the lawyering game; assuming your clients are lying to you. Lord knows, I was guilty of it enough times. Of course, it’s easy to do that, when your initial conversations go something like this.
“I didn’t burgle that house, Mr. Ingersoll.”
“The police found your fingerprints in the house.”
“The police planted my fingerprints there.”
“The police found you in the house.”
“The police planted me there.”
Okay, that was a slight exaggeration. My clients don’t actually know the difference between burgle and rob. But you get the idea.
So, as I said, it’s an occupational hazard. And it affects all of us. Even Jennifer (She-Hulk) Walters. Even when her client is Captain America.

Let’s see now, where were we before we were so rudely interrupted? Interrupted by me when I realized last week’s column was long enough, so decided to split it into two columns. Oh yes, She-Hulk V 3 # 9.
She-Hulk v 3 # 9 is Part Two of the three-part story, “The Good Old Days.” The titular good old days refer to a dock riot in Los Angeles in November of 1940, if that’s “good,” I think someone needs to invest in a new dictionary. The good old days also refer to the fact that during the incident Sam Folger died and now the grandchildren of Sam’s brother, Harold, are suing Steve (Captain America) Rogers for the wrongful death of their great-granduncle. Again, “good?” If you can’t afford a new dictionary, then at least bookmark dictionary.com.

Sorry, but if your bucket list included “Read a comic book that has an explanation of the dying declaration exception to the hearsay rule on Page One,” you can’t cross it off your list yet. Because, despite what you read in She-Hulk v 3 # 9, you still haven’t read a comic book which has an explanation of the dying declaration on Page One.
She-Hulk v 3 # 9 is the middle chapter of a three-part story about Steve (Captain America) Rogers being sued for wrongful death in Los Angeles over an incident that happened on the L.A. docks in the year 1940. Cap was represented by Jennifer (She-Hulk) Walters and the Foglers, the family suing Cap, were represented by Matt (Daredevil) Murdock. Chapter One in issue 8 was the set-up.

Drained of the Super Soldier Serum that gave him his strength, speed and endurance – Steve Rogers is no longer fit to wield the shield. But there must always be a Captain America – and his trusted friend and partner Sam Wilson is ready and able to take the job. With Steve’s son Ian at his side as the new Nomad, he’ll spread his wings as the new star spangled Avenger! “I’ve been having a lot of fun writing Sam,” says Rick Remender in an interview with Marvel.com. “It’s a completely different attitude. The fact that he’s not a soldier shifts thing up a bit. Sam’s not going to be Steve. Steve can be very rigid. That can be kind of joyless at times, whereas Sam is absolutely not that.” The threat of Hydra is growing, as the terrorist band has infiltrated the Marvel Universe completely.

Marvel Comics is really stirring things up in their comic book universe. First Thor and now Captain America and The Avengers.
Joe Quesada, Marvel's Chief Creative Officer, announced that Sam Wilson, a.k.a. The Falcon, will be the new Captain America. What happened to Steve Rogers? Well, he lost his superhero strength and turned into a 90-year-old man both physically and mentally. He's obviously in no condition to fight carry his shield and fight to protect the world.
I don't really care that Wilson is taking his place, but I'm not a big fan of what they did with Steve Rogers. The new comic series is being written by Rick Remender and Stuart Immonen, and this is what Remender said in a statement to Marvel:
"This is the fireworks factory we’re arriving at, and now everything’s going to blow up and be very pretty and exciting to look at.

The Marvel Comics universe has found yet another man to wear the mantle of Captain America. Somehow robbed of the powers provided to him by the super-soldier serum, Steve Rogers is taking a strategic role as his old buddy Sam Wilson, aka The Falcon, becomes the new Captain America. Marvel made the long rumored announcement Wednesday night on The Colbert Show. The change will begin in All-new Captain America #1 which will be written by Rick Remender and drawn by Stuart Immonen and has a November street date. In an interview with Marvel.com, Remender reveals this change was in the works for some time and that Wilson is very much his own man.

New Captain America 2 movie delivered great action,suspense,plot & more. Marvel Studios and Disney Pictures released their new super hero/action flick, "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier" into theaters this weekend. I just watched it, and thought it was great, serving up a ton of great action, drama, very suspenseful conclusion, and more. It stars: Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Redford, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grillo, Georges St-Pierre, Hayley Atwell, Toby Jones, Emily VanCamp, and Maximiliano Hernández. The new flick is set 2 years after the events of the huge Avengers flick of 2012. Steve Rogers aka Captain America is currently residing in Washington,D.C. He meets and befriends former Pararescue war veteran and Ptsd counselor ,Sam Wilson aka The Falcon. As the movie rolled along, we eventually saw Nick Fury get heavily ambushed and attacked by assailants disguised as police officers, led...

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Directed by: Anthony & Joe Russo
Cast: Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Mackie
Running Time: 2 hr 16 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: April 4, 2014
Plot: Former WWII soldier Steve Rogers/Captain America (Evans) bands with ex-kgb agent Black Widow (Johansson) and a former American soldier (Mackie) to stop an evil plot against our homeland’s security.
Who’S It For? Even Marvel pessimists will have fun with this one.
Overall
In record-breaking time, even for Marvel, a comic book character has had their existence (basically) rebooted. The arc may be continued from the previous film, and some of the actors may reappear, but this take on Captain America is bonafide divergent. It’s not the hollow nostalgic relic seen in his debut Captain America: The First Avenger, nor is this the goofy time alien/boy scout he was made in to be in the ensemble film The Avengers.

- The Scorecard Review
Before he ever started filming "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," Anthony Mackie made it clear he was ecstatic about portraying Sam Wilson, aka The Falcon on the big screen. Unlike some of his increasingly wary co-stars, the "Hurt Locker" star was still on cloud nine about being part of the Marvel Universe when we spoke about the movie a few weeks ago. And why shouldn't he be? Directors Anthony and Joe Russo, along with screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, have fashioned an origin story that's infinitely superior to the Falcon's comic book beginnings. Something, Wilson noted, the company has been trying to fix for decades. "Marvel has done something very unique and beautiful with the character of Sam Wilson," Mackie says. "They have worked consistently over the past 50 years to get him right. A lot of characters you just try one time and just let them fall by the wayside.

Six years don’t seem like that long a stretch of a time, but it’s long enough to create a universe. I should clarify, I mean a cinematic universe. You see, that’s just what they’ve done at Marvel Studios. And what a wondrous place it is! And movie-goers are now able to visit there more than once a year. Hard to believe, but it was back in 2008 that the famed comic book company (lovingly named “The House of Ideas” by Stan Lee himself almost fifty years ago) decided that they should have a more active role in bringing their characters to the silver screen. Media pundits scoffed since several of their biggest properties, namely Spider-Man and the X-Men, were locked down in movie deals with Sony and Fox. But Marvel (with Paramount) initiated their big screen dreams with Iron Man, and they’ve not looked back. That...

Looking to capitalise on the refreshed buzz from its big new trailer, Marvel has released new stills from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. There’s also a first look at enemy fighter Batroc The Leaper (Georges St-Pierre) as dug up by Badass Digest. With Steve Rogers slowly adapting to life in the present day, the sequel to The First Avenger picks up after the events of Avengers in New York, with Cap working for S.H.I.E.Ld. He’s putting his super-strength and other abilities to good use battling evil around the world, but becomes increasingly uneasy about his bosses’ agenda.Soon, he’s taking his concerns to Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and butting heads with the organization’s big boss, Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford) which all leads him on course for a collision with his colleagues. But there are bigger problems to deal with, including the mysterious Winter Soldier.

Following on from yesterday's new poster releases, Chris Evans has spoken about his work on the superhero sequel "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and how both the character and the tone of the series has changed for the follow-up. Asked about the Steve Rogers character in this entry, he tells IGN:
"In this movie, it's about him trying to not just acclimate to the modern world, but I think it's always been Cap's goal to do what's right and to be of service and to help where he can.
In this movie I think the question is, 'Well, what is right?' I think it was a lot easier in the 1940s to know who the evil was -- there's no disputing Nazis are bad! Now it becomes a little more of a difficult answer. There's a lot more of a gray area of 'What is the right thing? Are...

Sam does not trust Jet and has difficulty comprehending the influence Jet had on the decision Steve made to burn many of the items in Captain America #11 that Steve held onto for decades.

Traditionally, Independence Day means three simple things to Americans: hot dogs, fireworks, and superheroes. At least, that's how we here at Splash Page see it. Each year since the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress back in 1776, July 4th has been a national holiday celebrating the birth of Independence, freedom, and, of course, patriotism.
On that same note, the very idea of the "super hero" is about as patriotic as Uncle Sam riding a bald eagle. Throughout the decades, as both Marvel and DC have become household names, the number of United States-themed superheroes has nearly quadrupled in numbers. In honor of our nation's independence, we've compiled a list of the most patriotic superheroes to ever grace the silver screen.

While Marvel wrapped the sequel's first (and maybe last) full week of filming in Washington, D.C. last night, an anonymous source has now shared new Captain America: The Winter Soldier details exclusively with Cbm, straight from the 2014 film's script; or rather a few pages. Upon viewing photos of these pages, I noticed the majority of the script had been understandingly "omitted." However, the scenes that are featured were filmed this week, per set photos, and they reveal how Capt. Rogers and Sam Wilson, aka The Falcon, first meet in the “political thriller.” Spoilers ahead... The scene starts at predawn with Sam Wilson jogging alone (or so he thinks) around the Tidal Basin of Washington, D.C., when a "Solitary Figure" swiftly passes him three times before Sam stops and sits tiredly beside a tree. Steve Rogers is then revealed as that "incredibly fast" mystery figure. Now at dawn, the...

Ah, Valentine’s Day. We’ve officially entered the season of love, romance, and overpriced chocolate. Here to help you get in the mood, your five rotating Siipping News columnists Hannah, Yvonne, Catherine, Adri and Aja have each assembled their top five most romantic (intentionally or not) slashy moments from many different fandoms.

Hannah’s Top 5
Picking only five romantic moments was a big challenge for me considering how many TV shows, movies, comics and books I am forever in love with. But I’ve narrowed it down to these few heart-wrenching finalists.

Steve Rogers will face his worst nightmare when Bucky Barnes becomes "The Winter Soldier," but that's not the only villain he's going up against. Variety confirms earlier reports that Frank Grillo has joined the cast of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." Grillo, star of "The Grey" and "Warrior," will play Crossbones, the sadistic mercenary often employed by Red Skull in the comic books.
Grillo is just one of many actors currently on board the "Captain America" sequel, including newcomer Anthony Mackie as Sam "The Falcon" Wilson. Returning players include Chris Evans as Rogers, Sebastian Stan as Bucky and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Marvel veterans Scarlett Johansson and Cobie Smulders will also be on hand as Black Widow and Maria Hill, respectively.

So word just dropped this week that Anthony Mackie is in talks to become the Falcon in the Captain America sequel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Mackie is of course an under-appreciated actor and his hiring for the Marvel film universe is uber exciting, but the important thing to take away from that bit of news is that The Falcon is going to be in the next Captain America movie! Rock, rock on!
While I understand that neophytes to the ways of Marvel might not see why a black dude in a bird based costume flying around acrobatically is such a big deal. In the words of David Draiman (from Disturbed) “Let Me Enlighten You!”

This past weekend saw Marvel reveal “Phase 2″ of their film line-up at the San Diego Comic Con so I thought what better film to pick for today’s Movie of the Day than a movie based on a Marvel character. Only this film is one of the most vilified, yet at the same time celebrated, of the early Marvel movies, Captain America.
I know what you’re thinking “Hang on, Captain America only came out last year”. Well yes, That Captain America movie came out last year, but there have been numerous other Captain America films released over the years – a Republic serial, two TV movies in the 70s starring Reb Brown and the movie that is my pick for Movie of the Day, 1990′s Captain America.

Marvel Studios is prepping to get Captain America: The Winter Solider into production, and they are currently in talks with Anthony Mackie (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) to take on the role of Falcon. He will star along side Chris Evans in the movie, which will obviously follow the storyline from the comics in which Bucky comes back from the dead as a brain-washed super assassin known as the Winter Soldier.
I guess I can see Mackie in this role, he doesn't really seem like the superhero type, but I'm sure that once I see him in costume it will make more sense. The Falcon's real name is Sam Wilson, and he "grew up in a tough Harlem neighborhood. His father, a minister, had been killed trying to stop a fight. Sam did his best to try and do the right thing, but when his mother was killed by a mugger two years later,...

We each saw The Avengers at fan-filled midnight screenings, separately but equally. We tried to avoid any spoilers here, but we can’t guarantee we hit that mark. And, being who we are, there are a couple of teasers in this dialog.
Mike: Did you see it in 2-D, 3-D, or IMAX?
Glenn: 3-D.
Mike: Me too. This was the first movie ever that I can recommend in 3-D.
Glenn: Which is amazing, considering it was upsampled to 3-D. The film was converted to 3-D during post-production for the theatrical release. But it certainly paid off.
Mike: The 3-D imaging credits were as long as the Manhattan phone book.
Glenn: Someone asked me point blank if The Avengers is the greatest superhero movie of all time. I said I don’t know about that, it has some very tough competition. But hands down, it’s the greatest superhero battle movie of all time.

After years of rumors, what ifs and hearsay, perhaps the most unlikely -- and certainly the most ambitious -- comic book movie of all time is finally hitting theaters this weekend. Beyond the mere logistical nightmare of pairing this massive cast with the equally massive budget required for such an undertaking, the green light for an “The Avengers” movie was dependent on the success of five other films before it. But here we are, the movie set to take North America by storm with hugely positive buzz and fanboys salivating for the penultimate moment when they finally hear “Avengers assemble!” echo across the megaplex.

As Dum Dum Dugan, Neal McDonough had a minor but important role in "Captain America: The First Avenger." All he really had to do was stand around cracking wise and looking tough, a part he played to its fullest. "Captain America" ended with Steve Rogers waking up in the present day, so most moviegoers probably figured we wouldn't see Dugan again, as he was previously seen in 1945. But this being the Marvel Universe, it would appear that Dugan may have gotten himself jacked up on all sorts of anti-aging nanomachines that allowed him to survive to see the likes of Justin Bieber and Taco Bell.
Talking to IMDb, McDonough discussed the possibilities for appearances in a "Captain America 2," as well as the long-rumored "Nick Fury" movie.

Captain America actor Neal McDonough has told IMDb that Marvel will begin filming the sequel to last summer’s blockbuster hit by the end of the year.
Confirming that he will reprise bowler-hat-wearing World War II soldier Dum Dum Dugan, he says;
Yeah, they’re planning (to go into production for) for the end of this year, because Marvel does one film at a time. So they’re going to do Thor 2 and as soon as Thor has wrapped, they’ll do Cap 2. Hopefully right after that, we’ll jump into Nick Fury because that’s the one I’m looking forward to more than anything.
McDonough’s confirmation that he has a role in the sequel would suggest the movie will be set in the World War II timeline as Dum Dum Dugan would likely be long dead by the time Steve Rogers wakes up from his frozen start...

Neal McDonough, who recently portrayed Dum Dum Dugan in Joe Johnston’s Captain America: The First Avenger, recently spoke with I Am Rogue about a possible sequel. He talks about what fun he had playing Dugan and where he would like to see the character in future films and where the direction of a Captain America sequel may head if it goes into production.
Hey Neal, I wanted to follow up on something you just said. You mentioned possibly appearing in the proposed Nick Fury film, which would make a lot of sense since Dum Dum is Nick’s right-hand-man at S.H.I.E.L.D in the comics. But since we last saw you in the WWII era of Captain America: The First Avenger, how would your character end up in the present day (assuming that is when the film will take place) fighting along side Sam Jackson’s Nick Fury?...

Welcome back, movie-goers! After an unexpected week off I’ve returned to deliver the third and final installment of my 2011 Summer Movie Preview. This week I’ll be taking a look at July’s slate of movies, where we’ll see a long-running franchise finally come to a close, some robots doing robot stuff, the birth of an iconic superhero, and cowboys playing with aliens. It’s been a hot summer so far, but can July keep the fire burning? Let’s find out, shall we?
July 1 – Transformers: Dark of the Moon
So here we are at the third installment of the Transformers franchise. Dark of the Moon focuses on the discovery of a Cybertronian ship on the, you guessed it, dark side of the moon. Apparently, as seen in the teaser trailer, it was discovered by the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 and became top-secret government knowledge. Again, the original cast reprises their roles,...

Usually around this time of the year we list maybe 10 or 20 films that we think are as absolute ‘Must See’s’ for what the next 12 months of cinema has to offer us but as the clock is ticking ever closer to midnight on 2010, we thought we would challenge ourselves a little further this time around. The question I posed to the Owf staff recently was… can Cinema in 2011 produce enough ‘Must See’ films to hit 52, which would ratio out to be just one film per week? That’s all we are hopeful for here… just one film every Friday that justifies us parting with our ever increasingly important cash in these tough economic times.
Did we manage to find 52? Kind of.
There’s certainly 52 films listed here but once we got to around 30, the whole thing became a struggle and we had to fill it out disappointingly with the usual array of over-budgeted summer spectacles,...
