Staying true to their comic book stories' original piece apparently is the one thing that may set Marvel Entertainment apart when adapting the superhero stories into the silver screen. On Wednesday, May 21, Kevin Feige, the Marvel Studios President of Production, explained that "The First Avenger: Captain America" will be set during World War II.

Feige unveiled that in bringing Captain America to the big screen, the studio plan to stick on the conventional and original story of the patriotic superhero. It is further believed that the decision on making the film a period piece is taken to do the story justice. So, it is save to say that this tidbit is going to focus on the background story of Captain America meaning the plot will involve Steve Rogers volunteering to be a test subject that eventually makes him a superhero.

Aside from revealing the timing of the film, the Marvel topper also put off the speculation about the possibility of Matthew McConaughey taking the titular character. He also gave out confirmation on the earlier report about the appearance of Captain America's shield in "Iron Man". "First Avenger" is scheduled to bow in theaters on May 6, 2011.
