Invaders in Captain America Movie?

    Website Chud has an interesting interview with First Avenger: Captain America Director Joe Johnston about his upcoming movie...
    Yesterday I talked with The First Avenger: Captain America director Joe Johnston at the press day for The Wolfman, and he revealed to me that The Invaders were going to be a major presence in the film. 'They'll be in the entire second half,' he said.

    That's a lot of screen time that Cap will be sharing. Johnston also told me that The Invaders will be six members strong, so if you add Bucky and the Red Skull The First Avenger: Captain America might very well feature nine costumed characters, surely some kind of a record outside of a straight up team franchise like X-Men.

    Earlier during the press conference Johnston had said that his Captain America would be played (hopefully) by a newcomer and that he would surrounded by name actors. Could The Invaders be roles for better known actors? The European team is definitely included as a way to sell a movie with Captain America overseas (Feige said as much at Comic Con), so why not throw some name actors in there?
    Now why would Marvel want the Invaders in this movie? Sounds to me like it will be more of a prequel for the Avengers movie. Sounds like to win WWII, we had to have a team of "Super Heroes" to help. Now we have to have a team of "Super Heroes" to thwart some impending danger.

      I think Cap should wear the old "Reb Brown" version from the TV movies.
