Joe "The Wolfman" Johnston will direct “First Avenger: Captain America” for Marvel Studios, with Marvel's Kevin Feige producing."This is a guy who designed the vehicles for 'Star Wars' and storyboarded the convoy action sequence for 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' " Feige said about Johnston.
"From 'Rocketeer' to 'October Sky' to 'The Wolf Man,' you can look at pieces of his movies and see how they lead to this one."

He was revived during the early Marvel era and reintroduced as part of the "Avengers".
