Joe Johnston is the man who will be directing Marvel’s “First Avenger: Captain Amercia,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Johnston, who worked in the visual effects departments on “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and three “Star Wars” movies, made his directorial debut with “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” in 1989.

Other directing credits include “Jumaji,” “Jurassic Park III” and “Hidalgo.” Johnston is currently wrapping up “The Wolf Man,” with Benicio Del Toro in the lead.

“Captain America” is scheduled for release May 6, 2011. No writers are on board yet, but Marvel is trying to find someone as quickly as possible.
