The 3D, 2D feature, directed by Joe Johnston ("The Wolfman") set during WW II, was written by David Self, Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely and Joss Whedon, scheduled for a July 22, 2011 Paramount release.
"The interesting thing about this character is that he's an everyman who in the course of a few minutes become a perfect human specimen," said director Johnston.
"I saw it as an opportunity to make a superhero movie that felt real, that didn't have to rely on an overabundance of fantasy elements."
