His character, named Pierce, will be a higher-up in S.H.I.E.L.D. It's possible he could be a combination of Agent Alexander Pierce and the classic Sgt. Nick Fury.

Just in-case you didn't see this in the other thread:
Anderson started out directing the romantic comedy films too; Next Stop Wonderland (1998) and Happy Accidents (2000).We were working on the third season of 'Community,' and we got a call from our agent saying [Marvel Studios President] Kevin Feige was a big fan of the show and wanted to know if we would come in to talk about the next 'Captain America' movie," said Joe, who was a big comic-book collector as a kid. "I think Kevin had seen the paintball episode we did on 'Community' and thought, these guys should be directing action movies."
The two-part "A Fistful of Paintballs" and "For a Few Paintballs More," a spaghetti Western and "Star Wars" parody with Chevy Chase, Alison Brie and Joel McHale unleashing a fury of paint, aired in May 2011.
The Marvel brain trust has gone against type in hiring directors for its recent spate of films. Indie director Jon Favreau made the first two "Iron Man" movies. Kenneth Brannagh, known for Shakespearean adaptations, tackled "Thor." Joss Whedon came from TV's "Angel" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to direct "Marvel's The Avengers," which filmed major action scenes in Cleveland in 2011 and went on to become the third-top-grossing movie of all time.
"The one thing Marvel does is think outside the box," said Anthony, "going all the way back to Ang Lee directing the first 'Hulk.' They like to go outside the genre. It's a very smart thing, and it's a way to keep it fresh with audiences." Marvel was talking to several different directors, Anthony added, "but we fell in love with the script and we really wanted to do this film, so we went after it hard and ended up getting it."
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Redford. The brothers are mum on plot twists, but the film features Captain America battling his former best friend, a brainwashed Bucky Barnes, played by Sebastian Stan, who is now an assassin called the Winter Soldier.
The movie is a stand-alone story, but will incorporate themes from the first "Captain America," as well as "Iron Man 3," this year's box office king, and "Thor: The Dark World," which debuts in November. All of those story lines will then feed into the "Avengers" sequel, due in 2015.
Said Joe, "We grew up on Scorsese and Coppola and '70s crime thrillers. Truffaut was a huge influence on us. 'Shoot the Piano Player' is probably our favorite film. We like absurdist crime films, but we ended up doing comedy for 10 years."
With the chance to make a superhero movie, two things stood out.
"One was Captain America," said Joe, "and Kevin said he wanted to do a '70s crime thriller. Those are like our bread and butter. We've probably watched the car chases in 'The French Connection' 50 times, frame by frame."
"The other thing was that even though we're drawn to extremes in the genre, we also like to ground things," said Anthony. "In a way, Captain America is the most grounded of the main Marvel superheroes. He is basically just a man, only more so. He doesn't fly across the sky like Iron Man. He isn't from another world like Thor. He doesn't turn into a green monster."Last edited by Operation:Mego; Jun 4, '13, 7:24 PM.sigpic

There an issue here, Op Mego?
Re: Anderson. 2 out of 26, over a decade ago.
Go look at his entire resume. It's desperate to compare two early comedy projects as equivalent to two guys whose entire 15+ year resume, winning emmys for comedy, as equivalent. They've done nothing else.
They are very good TV comedy directors. They would most likely make a great HBO/Netflix show.
They are on Cap 2 for purely different reasons. How and When Fiege first made contact, I could care less. But he was already associated with friends, associates and reps of theirs before that call. After You, Me and Dupree, what's the next movie? Cap 2. Everything else is TV. It's an illogical choice, unless you actually know the reason.
This may come as a shock to you, but entertainment news is PR handjobs.
How did Shane Black get IM3? The guy was irrelevant as a director. But, as everyone knew, Downey likes and trust him, so after the falling out with Marvel/Favreau, a compromise was made.
No one questions this stuff, because PR flacks will kill access to not just one project, but several.
The results will bare out next fall. People will like Cap 2 because of all the corollary stuff to A2 the tv show, but it's overall effect will be meh. It's not the directors fault. Fiege is a top-down manager. Don't believe me, go ask Alan Taylor.Comment

Let me know if you need me to filter this load of BS into reality.
