Chris Evans will suit up again as the Star-Spangled Avenger as part of Marvel’s Phase Two in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The sequel’s title makes fans wonder how closely it will follow the The Winter Soldier arc by Ed Brubaker. Marvel Studios Kevin Feige talks with Variety about the tone of the film and the future of the superhero genre.
“If it is a fad, it’s one that lasts 30 to 40 years, as the Western did, because each one is so different,” he says. “There’s an opportunity to graft almost sub-genres onto them. Our first Captain America film was a World War II picture, and the next is a political thriller. They all have their own textures and patinas, and that’s what is exciting about it.”
Here’s what new in the Captain America sequel:
Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson aka Falcon.
Frank Grillo as Crossbones.
Emily Van Camp as SHIELD Agent Sharon Carter
The big questions?
Will the Red Skull return (in another form? I don’t want to give away the plot twist of Brubaker’s acclaimed run.)
Will Sin, Red Skull’s bat—- crazy daughter appear in the film?
