Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Joe Quesada has given fans an update on the status of yet another comic book adaptation, 'The First Avenger: Captain America'.

"I've seen a couple of outlines and an initial screenplay, and it's going to rock everyone's socks off. It's very unexpected, the kind of movie it is," Quesada told Comic Book Resources during the Big Apple Comic-Con.

According to Comic Book Resources, he added that "Captain America sets up The Avengers in 'a fantastic way' and also mentioned that there is an undisclosed wish list of actors to play the superhero."

Paramount and Marvel Studios have their sights on a July 2011 release date, and asked Joe Johnston to direct.
