3. Russo Brothers Returning For Captain America 3
Marvel Studios, as successful as their films are, have had trouble with keeping directors on board for more than one movie. Though Jon Favreu returned for Iron Man 2, he served as a producer on Iron Man 3 and handed the reins to Shane Black. Kenneth Branaugh didn't return for Thor: The Dark World, and judging by the bad time Alan Taylor had with that film, he won't be returning for Thor 3. So, it should speak volumes that the Russo brothers are being approached to return for Captain America 3, months before The Winter Soldier even hits theaters. According to Variety, the studio is so happy with what they've seen from The Winter Soldier that they're hoping Anthony and Joe Russo will be back for more. Negotiations supposedly haven't begun, and will most likely rely on Cap 2's reception when it arrives in April. If the film proves a success, chances are the Russos will help Steve Rogers fight more bad guys in Phase 3 (most likely in 2017, unless it arrives before Thor 3).
