According to Variety, the film the directing duo Anthony and Joe Russo are ready to sign on to the third "Captain America" movie. However, Marvel has yet to confirm a third film for the franchise.

The "Captain America" franchise isn't the only Marvel film making headlines. Marvel announced their upcoming "Ant-Man" movie adaptation's release date will be moved to July 17, 2015.

"With Hank Pym's rich history in the Marvel Universe, we knew we needed an actor capable of bringing the weight and stature to the role that the character deserves," Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said in a statement. "We felt incredibly relieved when Michael Douglas agreed to step into the part with the charm and fortitude he brings to every character he inhabits, and couldn't be more excited to see what he will do to bring Hank Pym to life."
