@zender You mean the action would be so much better than Captain America: The First Avenger? I saw nothing wrong with Captain America: The First Avenger's action.

Put Jon Favreau as the director of Captain America 2, then the action would be so much better than the first film.

@gandoff2169 Not hating, he did a really nice job story and character-wise, but the action was awfully boring, awfully directed, and awfully edited. And it's not the first time I've noticed that on his films, that just can't happen on a superhero movie.

@Joshua-Hollaway MODOK is in Aim. And Aim is going to be featured in Iron Man 3. So as I could see a tie in to lead to a Avengers 2, we all know Thanos will be the lead villain in, I have a hard time seeing him done. His look will need major CGI unless they redesign him, which would and could not go over well to comic fans. Baron Zemo is a close second the Red Skull as Captain America's top villains. So with there being more Hydra villains for Cap to fight, and with the history Cap has with Hydra, I see Hydra being heavy in Cap 2, with some villain with in it as the lead.
@felipe-11 Why the hate on Johnston? He did a great job with Captain America. Only issue with that movie, is the use of the crystal to make energy weapons during WW2. But we all not, major advances was made in weapon tech in that time, so not a far reaching idea to a point.

Captain America was a good film, but of course it wasn't the best superhero movie either, I think it focused more on setting up the story for The Avengers, but I thought it still should have more action. Anyways hope this one is better. I'm asking anyone here, what type of powers did Modok have?

Justice23 Yeah I new Modok was highly rumored, co-writer Christopher Markus suggested the villain, said some of the other creators didn't agree with him, but they say there are already shots of Ironman3 that has links to Modok's story, a company called AIM. Despite, Modok's weird and unusual look, it would be cool to see something different, I don't think no comic movie villain as looked as unique and bizarre as Modok.

@gandoff2169 Pretty sure MODOK will be CA2 villain

i think they're a terrible choice to be at the helm of this film... this better not become another Iron Man 2, which was filled with jokes that weren't even close to being funny.

Two posibilites. One, Red Skull will be back, when Loki had the cube, he used it to free him from limbo from where he was with in the cube. Or Baron Nemo will bethe new leader of Hydra, and Cap takes on a new face in a new age. But I am also worried for the film, cause I don't think this due is up to the task for this film.

@cheetoboy Exactly. As long as it is good, then who will be directing it, should be a good choice.

Well just as long as its good, Any guesses on who the main villain could be? I know its to soon, but just in case any had any speculations.

@justice23, I disagree about Joe Johnston being a period film director. He did both Jumanji and Honey I Shrunk the Kids... he's more than capable of doing an action adventure film set in the present day.
