From HollywoodReporter, it looks like Joe Johnston has been picked to direct the big screen adaptation of Marvel’s Captain America:

 Joe Johnston has inked a deal to direct “First Avenger: Captain America,” Marvel Studios’ take on its classic comic book character. Marvel’s Kevin Feige is producing.No writers are on board, but the studio, which is hearing pitches, expects to hire shortly.Johnston first met with Marvel two years ago. When the two parties clicked, general talks turned into Captain America-specific meetings, with much of the project’s current direction resulting from those early conversations. “This is a guy who designed the vehicles for ‘Star Wars,’ who storyboarded the convoy action sequence for ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark,’ ” Feige said. “From ‘Rocketeer’ to ‘October Sky’ to ‘The Wolfman,’ you can look at pieces of his movies and see how they lead to this one.”

The studio is hearing pitches?  Really?  OK, then, here’s mine (this took me four months to think up):  we bring back the Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park III (directed by Johnston), have him eat Cap in like the first five minutes of the movie, and then stomp some Nazi ass while flinging around Cap’s trademark shield.  With the Nazis all dead, the Spinosaurus releases a rap album entitled “Jurassic Gangster” which sets up the inevitable rap battle between the Spinosaurus and the T-Rex (who now calls himself T-Sex) in the sequel.  Bam!  Pay me!
