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 |

Yeah. But very minor. And dumb. His specialty is a French fighting style, so he's like Meg Griffin in that episode where the Griffins get super powers....

His name is Georges Batroc, and in the comics he goes by Batroc the Leaper. He's a fairly comical character with a Snidely Whiplash mustache and who constantly speaks in a deliberately over-the-top French accent ("Sacre bleu!"). Beyond that, though, he not only commands his own legion of mercenaries (Batroc's Brigade), but is a legitimately dangerous hand-to-hand opponent, being a master of the French martial art of savate, or foot-boxing. That's more or less the discipline they had Georges St-Pierre use in the movie for that amazing fight scene he was in.

is the 3D worth it. Probably will still do 2D but I am curious.

Yes. I saw it in 3D Imax. It was amazing. It's subtle, but in a GREAT way. They don't exploit any 3D tricks. Just adds depth and immersion.

3D is the bomb, I wouldn't want to see it any other way after seeing it in 3D.

I'm just not a big fan of 3D. If a film is good, it doesn't need that gimmick IMO.
This is a great film on its own terms.

I don't ever watch 3D unless I have no choice, and I've never felt like I was missing anything by watching a movie in 2D.

I pretty much agree with this review. 3D isn't really needed for this movie.

Of course a good movie doesn't NEED 3D, but it does nothing but enhance the enjoyment IMO... it makes everything more visceral, tangible, pick a descriptor.
You're IMMERSED even further into an already enjoyable experience... I'd watch damn near everything besides the nightly news in 3D if I could. |

my problem with 3D is that I tend to forget I am even watching in 3D. When that happens I feel like it was a waste of money Avatar is about the only movie that truly never let me forget it was 3D.
