Hot off of the success ofThe Falcon and the Winter Soldieron Disney+, series director Kari Skogland says she’d be up to direct the upcoming movie sequelCaptain America 4for Marvel Studios. Developed for Disney+ by head writer and showrunner Malcolm Spellman, all six episodes ofFalconwere directed by Skogland. The ending of the series sets up a perfect starting point forCaptain America 4with Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson now wielding the shield.
Recently, it was announced that Spellman would next co-writeCaptain America 4with Dalan Musson. Because it’s probable that the sequel will pick up whereThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierleft off, it seems natural thatKari Skoglandcould also come on board alongside Spellman to direct. As of now, no director has yet been attached to the project, but in a new interview with CinemaBlend, Skogland was asked if she would take the job if asked. Here’s what the director had to say.
“I think if Marvel called me to do anything - if they called me to film the phone book - I would do it… You know, listen. The Marvel characters are all very, very rich. I’ve become friends with Anthony [Mackie] and Sebastian [Stan] and I really enjoyed working with them, and Emily [VanCamp] and Daniel Bruhl. I’ve worked with them for a couple of years, so, of course I have a special place in my heart. But as I said,if Kevin picked up the phone, I would answer it.”
Along with his appearances in other Marvel movies set in theMCU, Chris Evans previously headlined three movies as Steve Rogers:Captain America: The First Avenger(2011),Captain America: The Winter Soldier(2014), andCaptain America: Civil War(2016). His version of the character’s story seemingly concluded at the end ofAvengers: Endgame, but there have been rumors of Evans returning to the role in anotherCaptain Americamovie of his own. It’s possible that Evans could star in anotherCaptain Americamovie separate from this project, but Marvel isn’t divulging any additional details at this time.
Set six months after the events ofAvengers: Endgame,The Falcon and the Winter Soldierstarred Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson aka Falcon and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, aka Winter Soldier. It follows the two as they team up to embark on a worldwide adventure that tests their abilities and patience. Wyatt Russell also starred in a breakout role as John Walker, the man who takes on the role of Captain America following Steve Rogers' retirement. Emily VanCamp, Daniel Bruhl, Erin Kellyman, Danny Ramirez, Georges St-Pierre, Don Cheadle, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus also starred.
Skogland’s other work as a director includes helming episodes of popular shows likeThe Walking Dead,Fear the Walking Dead,The Punisher,The Handmaid’s Tale,NOS4A2, andHouse of Cards. While opinions were mixed on the ending,The Falcon and the Winter Soldierwas largely a hit with Marvel viewers, so there’s a good chance Skogland could continue to work with Spellman on furthering the story ofCaptain Americain the MCU.
