Cameras are rolling on Captain America: The Winter Soldier! Chris Evans reprises his role as Steve Rogers in Cap’s first solo movie mission in the modern age. Marvel shared this first photo from the set. The sequel is based on the storyline by Ed Brubaker. This is the story that made me a hardcore Cap fan all over again.
Here’s the official Marvel description:
“Captain America: The Winter Soldier will pick-up where Marvel’s The Avengers left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff , a.k.a. Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.”
Cobie Smulders reprises her role as SHIELD agent Maria Hill.
Joining the Marvel cinematic universe are: Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Frank Grillo as Crossbones, Georges St. Piere as Batroc and Emily Van Camp as Agent 13 (in the comics this is Cap’s modern day girlfriend Sharon Carter.)
For the non-comic book reading fans: What is the Winter Soldier?
Spoiler:
Sebastian Stan will reprise his role as Bucky Barnes. Steve’s best friend did not die but was rescued by the Russians. Bucky was brainwashed and became an assassin for the KGB known as the Winter Soldier.
Joe and Anthony Russo are directing. Captain America: The Winter Soldier arrives April 4, 2014.
