Scheduled for release in 2011, The First Avenger: Captain America will follow a man unfit for military service who volunteers to take part in a research project that turns him into a World War II superhero.
"I've seen a couple of outlines and an initial screenplay, and it's going to rock everyone's socks off," Comic Book Resources quotes Quesada as saying. "It's very unexpected, the kind of movie it is."
Quesada explained that Captain America would lead into ensemble superhero film The Avengers in "a fantastic way" and a wish list of actors to play the Marvel hero has been drawn up.
Joe Johnston will direct The First Avenger: Captain America from a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
