Chris Evans will play the First Avenger again in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Fans of the comic book know this sequel will be based on the story by Ed Brubaker in which Steve’s best friend is back from the dead as a brainwashed assassin.
“Oh, I am fully up to date with my comics. I know all about it. Kevin Feige was talking about [Winter Soldier] when we were filming the first Captain America and well before The Avengers. During the first Captain America we were talking about potential futures and, you know, I don’t want to give too much way,” Evans tells Collider.
Some of the scenes Evans shot for The Avengers showing Cap adjusting to the modern world was cut but may turn up in the Captain America sequel.
“A lot of that stuff [that was cut] is for Captain America 2. That is his story. It is him trying to on a personal level adjust to the fact that everyone he knows is gone and the whole Peggy Carter of it all. There are a lot of things that he kind of has to come to terms with. So I don’t know. I am excited to kind of see flashes of the first Captain, if you know what I mean, and to see his memory of what we now know as an audience of who he was.”
Evans adds that he’d like for Steve to appear in Thor: The Dark World.
“[Chris] Hemsworth and I even talked about that. I would love to do a little thing in Thor 2. It is obviously going to be tricky trying to work out the plot, the reason why I am not there to help him, and why he is not there to help me. But the best thing about Marvel is that, like I said, the movies were so good and we had such a good time making them.”
Captain America: The First Avenger opens April 4, 2014. Sebastian Stan returns as Bucky Barnes, Anthony Mackie plays the Falcon and no word on a love interest for Cap. Here’s hoping Sharon Carter aka Agent 13 will appear in the film.
