ABC has announced that it will be airing a one-hour Marvel's Captain America: 75 Heroic Years program on Tuesday, January 19 and 8 p.m. ET. It will be followed by the season premiere of Agent Carter.
The one-hour special will delve into the comic book history of Captain America, and how the character and the concept has changed in the resulting 75 years. ABC lists interviewees including unnamed family members of the character's creators Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, as well as Chris Evans, Stan Lee, Joe Quesada, Jeph Loeb, Hayley Atwell, Clark Gregg, Ming-Na Wen, Chloe Bennett and Louis D'Esposito.
ABC goes on to state that Marvel will announce something new during the one-hour special.

That's pretty cool. Wish something like this was aired on tv for Superman's 75th birthday a couple years back.
And we should give a fuck because?
No one cares about him
>>78291057
Probably has to do with that announcement.
Money says a Captain America AU/"prequel" like with Spider-man.
Cool.
>>78291078
Was thinking the same thing. Missed opportunity.

DC did a really nice animated tribute, but not a one-hour-special on primetime TV.
>>78291091
ah, to be a teen again

What could it be? Will it be Cap-related announcement? Some Marvel comics thing? Civil War 2? A MCU production? Iron Fist casting?
>Interview with Joe Simon
How?

Captain America sex tape.

I wonder how thorough they will be. Like, will they bring up the Nomad stuff? Bernie, Diamondback and Sharon? The Richard Nixon thing?
But knowing Marvel these days, it'll be "Cap was created by Jack Kirby, fought in WWII, got Frozen, Winter Soldier happened, Civil War happened, Cap liked Peggy Carter and his friend is Falcon" for the full hour.
...you know, I wouldn't be shocked if that's exactly what happens.
Oops. That's what I get for skimming over OP's post.
>>78291275
I'm more interested in how they can interview Kirby

I wonder if they will mention anything from the Grunwald era.

Nice one shill
>>78291091
You give enough fucks about Cap to bitch about he getting something special for his birthday.
>>78291297
>>78291519
There was another marvel special like this where they got into the more nitty gritty stuff so I'm sure they will.
Unless that was preDisney
>>78291694
I'm cynical. I think that it'll just be the same stuff we already know from the films and that's it.
>>78291057
Ed Brubaker is still alive, why no interview with him?
Roger Stern and John Byrne, are both alive, but I can understand not interviewing John Byrne.
>>78291091
hes one of OUR BOYS

Was Brubaker, Epting, Remender, you know, people actually creating Cap comics, too busy?
So does it start at 5 for those in California?
>>78291762
Chloe Bennett has much more important insight.
Dude, come on. I honestly am very curious what Ming-Na has to say about Captain America!

>Was Brubaker, Epting, Remender, you know, people actually creating Cap comics, too busy?
Brubaker is pretty much done with Marvel and I get the idea he doesn't want to associate with them.
Remender I see just giving up on Marvel too after they fucked up Axis. I mean, can't a guy get ongoing self contained stories for several years and deprive other creators of characters as he constantly gets more and more depressing?
>>78291277
I would pay to see a Cap bukkake.

Cap doesn't even represent America now. He's sold his soul to corporations. They should rather call him Captain Disney.
