A filmmaker himself having created the TV show as well as currently working on a TV adaptౠation of thꦜe Image Comics title , Cantwell relates his concept for the story to the classic Hollywood 'road movie.'
"This story is ultimately structured like a 'road movie,' harkening back in ways to old Bob Rafelson and Hal Ashby films, wit🐎h Steve Rogers (and soon Sꦕam Wilson, and later… other key members in Steve's life) getting to directly interact with those he represents as a symbol and has sworn to protect, but in an up-close and personal way he hasn't experienced in a while," Cantwell explains.
"I'm extremely excited to show how the idea of Captain America has been conceptualized and translated by various groups in the country, and for me, the juice of the story is Cap reconciling so many interpretations of himself with himself, both as a person and as an icon.
"﷽This kind of cross-country epic is uniquely American and seems like a fantastic way to celebrate the character's legacy right now," Cantwell concludes.
