Could ‘Captain America 3’ Soar Into Cleveland?

Cleveland native and 'Cap 2' director Joe Russo works
with Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie

Captain America: The Winter Solider hasn’t even hit theaters yet, and Marvel Entertainment is already plotting Cap 3. And who will most likely direct this third installment of the comic book company’s hit series? None other than Cleveland filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo, the same duo that helmed Winter Soldier.

So here’s the big question. Will the Russo Brothers bring Captain America, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Falcon and the gang back to Cleveland? For those who don’t know – and there can’t be many out there – the Russos shot much of the action film in Northeast Ohio during summer 2013.

Let’s hope so. It would be great to have the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in the Cleve.

Just for the record, Cap 3 isn’t for sure (though highly likely), and the Russos have not inked a contract (though seems to be highly likely). Still, let’s hope Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and Sam Jackson love the city enough to come back for a third go around. The first? The Avengers.

How illness, identity, and 'Antiques Roadshow' inspired 'Lost & Found in Cleveland'

Keith Gerchak and Marisa Guterman >> Whatever chronic illness he was battling, it was a mystery to Keith Gerchak and his doctor - several doctors, if we’re being honest. For six months, he battled a host of vague symptoms, including fatigue and a lingering fever. Gerchak’s physicians ran him through the gauntlet - blood cultures, viral panels, X-rays and CT scans. They were hunting for infection, autoimmune disease, cancer, thyroid issues, and deep-seated inflammatory conditions. They were coming up with nothing. “Finally, one of them told me, ‘I think your body is rejecting the path you’re on.’” Gerchak let that sink in. His illness wasn’t from a virus. It wasn’t an autoimmune disorder. It was his career choice. Santino Fontana as Gary Lucarelli Facing the fever Doctors have a name for it: psychogenic fever . It’s a real, measurable, stress-induced fever that can persist for months, common among people dealing with burnout, depression and - get this - intense life dissatisfact...
