Co-ordinate to The Hollywood Reporter, Spellman will co-write the Helm America 4 script with Dalan Musson, a staff writer on Falcon and the Wintertime Soldier. No manager is attached.

Evans tweeted, "News to me," regarding his render to the MCU. Meanwhile, Feige told EW.com, "I rarely respond no to anything anymore considering things are always surprising me with what happens, but that rumor, I recollect, was dispelled rather quickly past the man himself."

There'south plenty of time for Spellman and Musson to effigy out Captain America 4 since Marvel's slate of movie release is packed.
