Could ‘Captain America 3’ Soar Into Cleveland?

Cleveland native and 'Cap 2' director Joe Russo works

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.

A test scene from the upcoming 'Fetish of Flesh' by Demented Media >>> Newark, Ohio’s, own Freddie Meade was 11 years old when he became a horror movie fan and we all have Andrew Copp to thank for it. Copp was an ultra-low-budget indie filmmaker from Dayton, Ohio, known for The Mutilation Man and Church of the Eyes . Copp died in 2013. “I met Andrew Copp and Tom 'Woodstock' Lee [Copp’s colleague], and I thought it was incredible that I actually got to meet someone who did that,” Meade says. That chance encounter set him on his filmmaking path. Meade's latest project, A Fetish of Flesh , is a spine-tingling endeavor that blurs the line between reality and fiction. Drawing inspiration from their own experiences, Meade and his friends ventured into the woods to create their first movie. However, what transpires in A Fetish of Flesh is a chilling tale of a group of students embarking on a thesis project, stumbling upon a modern-day Manson family reminiscen
