Robert Redford In Talks To Star In ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’
Marvel Surprise: Robert Redford In Talks To Star In ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’
EXCLUSIVE: Here is a fun Marvel scoop. I’m hearing that Robert Redford is in discussions to join the cast of Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger, the sequel that brings Chris Evans back as the shield-carrying superhero. Redford is in talks to play a senior leadership role in S.H.I.E.L.D., the superhero collective run by Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury character. Joe and Anthony Russo are directing the film from a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, whose Marvel script credits include Captain America: The First Avenger and the upcoming Thor: The Dark World. The sequel will be released by Disney April 4, 2014. In between running his Sundance empire, Redford most recently starred in All Is Lost, the J.C. Chandor-scripted and directed survival tale. While Marvel was predictably mum as Kevin Feige’s unit always is on casting matters, Marvel characters have a tendency to show up in other superhero movies, and I believe that is likely to be on the menu for Redford. It will be somewhat ironic for the patriarch of independent cinema to become a regular in some of Hollywood’s biggest studio blockbusters. Redford’s repped by WME |

Makes you wonder where Black Widow keeps that much change.

Just saw it today.
I'll agree with Nazi Truman Capote being stupid as well as useless. Other than that I think this is probably only 2nd to the Avengers as far as the marvel movies. Cap is finally the same badass he is in the comix and put a lot of effort in to making this an A list film. While IM3 pissed me off Cap surprised and entertained. And Hawkeye is all about SHIELD. Leaving him out, or at least not explaining where he was, was silly. Oh, and when the Hydra guy lists the two "other targets" I went full nerd-rection.
Spoiler!

A lot of people want to see him. If he's not the most prominent Marvel character who has not yet appeared in the movies, he's in the top three.

I'd love a Depp or Hugh Laurie in that role...

Dear God, not Johnny Depp.
I'd rather Viggo Mortensen, Daniel Day-Lewis, or even Benedict "I'm In Everything" Cumberbatch. |

There was a rumor a while ago that they already signed Jon Hamm to play Dr. Strange, but it's been so long that I'd think more about it would have come out if it was true. I like the idea though.
And about Hawkeye, maybe he quit SHIELD after New York or something. I know it's unlikely, but personally I'd love to see an adaptation of the recent Hawkeye solo comic as a miniseries on Netflix. |

I really want to say Andrew Lincoln would make an awesome Strange, but I've only seen him play small town cop.

There seems to be quite the debate raging on whether they will dumb down Dr. Strange and change his biggest source of power away from the "dark arts" which will be very taboo.
With all of the stand alone movies basically being a different genre, I'm hoping DS will stick to his roots and be a spooky mysticism film. |
