Anthony and Joe Russo Returning to Co-Direct 'Captain America 3'

Though Captain America: The Winter Soldier doesn't open until April, it seems Marvel is so pleased with how the film turned out that they have entered early negotiations to bring back brothers, Anthony and Joe Russo, to co-direct Captain America 3.

Based off of strong impressions from the production along with positive test screenings, Marvel is moving quick to attach the directing duo to the next entry.

While the studio will wait for the film's box office numbers before formally moving ahead, it seems all but certain the Russo Bros. will be back in the directors' chairs for the third installment.  There are already steps being taken to outline the next film's story arc.

All the main actors involved have options for a third entry so expect them back too, especially if the film performs well.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier, starring Chris Evans, opens April 4th.
