The First Avenger finds it's first Director

Joe Johnston has been tapped to helm Marvel's upcoming The First Avenger: Captain America film. Obviously the film will follow the adventures of the most iconic member of the Avengers and the man most recognize as it's true leader. This is another step in Marvel's intentions to do a full blown Avengers film featuring their ever expanding group of tentpole franchise including Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America, and Thor.

I don't know enough about Johnston to comment on his ability as a director. What I do know is that if I went solely on his resume, I'd be one worried fanboy. Jurassic Park 3? Terrible. Jumanji? Terrible. October Sky? Well, that was good but hardly a showcase for any unique skills he might posess. Then again, he did do the Rocketeer back in 1991 which is....eh, it's just ok. Not gonna hype it up or anything. So we'll just have to wait and see.
