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 |

Finally saw it and thought it was very good.
Cap was a badass, Winter Soldier maybe even moreso, and Falcon was pretty cool too.

I haven't asked this yet because I figured someone else already would have... but in the closing credits, it shows a guy who sure LOOKS to be Sam Jackson, walk into a shipping container loaded with gear...
It then shows what appears to be white skin on the back of the neck beneath what appears to be a black mask just as the character rips it off while facing the other way. Have I missed a post or am I the only one to have noticed this? |

I've been wondering with the appearance of Crossbones (and Sharon Carter) if they're going to go the death of captain america route in the next couple of films. It'll give them an easy out or a way to find a replacement as Chris Evans approaches 40 (or gets uber expensive contractually, the cheap bastards).

Can't wait to see A Walk In The Woods. Maybe Gary Busey will play Katz.
Not too excited for this. |

I was under the impression that Evans was locked into a VERY high number picture deal when first offered the part.
I'm talking over 10 pictures. There will be no repeats of Downey - whose made sums in rival of the wealth of entire small nations. Going forward they know they have the leverage and will simply find someone else if actors try making demands due to their appeal. Anyone hear from Terrace Howard lately? His Q rating went down faster than a junkie sloot on some guy holding her next fix.
