Phase 2 for Marvel Studios seems to be running along without a hitch yet and Captain America: The Winter Soldier will be on the big screen before you know it.
As the title suggests, one of the main characters of the new film will be The Winter Soldier, but we have no idea at this point whether he’ll be friend or foe. If the movie portrays him anything like the comic books, he could very well be both.
In case you’re not familiar with The Winter Soldier, here’s a very detailed video that explains everything that you need to know about him…and then some!
On top of that, we have word now that another major character in the new movie will be long-time Captain America villain, Crossbones, and on the web is that actor Frank Grillo is in the running to play the character. Don’t get your hopes up too high, though, because actors Josh Holloway (LOST, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) are still contenders for the part.
And for those of you looking for more of the Red Skull, it looks like Hugo Weaving really doesn’t want to come back to Captain America to play that role, but to be honest, Crossbones has always been more fun in the comics, hopefully, he’ll be way more fun and interesting in the movie as well.
More details to come as we get them!
