Captain America 3 Will Change The Franchise Yet Again!; Title Was Planned Years Ago & More

While making the rounds for the home release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier directors Joe, and Anthony Russo teased that the title for Captain America 3 was decided years ago, and that it will reflect a major event in the franchise.

"If you’ve been talking to Kevin [Feige, President of Marvel Studios] the title has been in place probably for ten years in his brain," said Joe Russo. "It’s all part of the road map that he’s laid out, and it’s all part of the bigger plan."

When asked if Captain America 2 served as a platform for Cap 3, Joe Russo explained:  

"Yeah, I think the way Kevin does it is there are big pieces that he knows he wants to build towards, but the way that you get there is open to interpretation and improv a little bit." He continued, "That’s defined by who gets involved with the project, the writers and directors involved in the project. The big thing we knew we had to deal with in Captain America 2 was the fall of Hydra. Similarly there is a very, very big idea at the center of Captain America 3. But how we get there is all up to us. And I think why Marvel has been so successful is because it’s been such a clear plan, that everything is interconnected and they’re building emotional capital with each movie that you can then trade off of in the next film."

When asked if like the title, the villain, characters, or Cap's journey have also been determined years ago, Joe said:

"No, all that stuff is open for interpretation. Usually it’s just one big idea that alters the universe as a whole in some way, that has interconnectedness that he’s grabbed on to. That’s the case with Cap 3, but as far as villain and story arc and tone, all that stuff is left up to us."

Captain America 3 opens on May 6th, 2016 and stars Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Emily VanCamp (rumored), and Frank Grillo (rumored).
