Speaking at Comic-Con, Marvel Studios production president Kevin Feige gave an update on the upcoming "Thor" and "Captain America" movies.

We already know that Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Natalie Portman have been cast in "Thor," and Feige says that more casting announcements are coming soon. "I think we're nearing, closing in on Odins and Heimdals and the Warriors Three, which we're excited about," he said, adding: "We're about halfway through prep. We start filming in January."

Feige also said that "The First Avenger: Captain America" will go into development immediately after "Thor," so it will be a while before we find out who will play the character. "I think it'll be a few months," he added.

"We already have some concept artists working on [Captain America]," Feige continued. "[Director] Joe Johnston's finishing up 'Wolfman' now, but he comes with us — and we're already deep into the script — and was in the office last week with us. He starts officially, and we open the offices officially, in October."
