Captain America: The First Avenger

Joe Johnston - Captain America: The First Avenger Interview

Joe Johnston had to set aside all of the pressure that comes with directing a Marvel Comics superhero movie and just plow ahead. Johnston, who was at the helm of Captain America: The First Avenger, wasn't a comic book geek when he started directing the film, but says he is now a convert.

Bonnie Laufer from Tribute spoke with Joe about why he chose Chris Evans to play Captain America, the advice that he got from another very famous director on how to handle pressure, and if he'd ever consider directing a sequel to The Rocketeer.
