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 |

Evans was signed for six pictures (he's three movies into it), Stan was signed for nine (he's two into that one). That information may or may not reveal where they intend to go with the Cap storyline. |

Gotcha. It's a shame if Evans gets bounced. I think he's done well a Cap. He's not going to be back for F4 reboot as far as I've heard everyone will be recast for whenever they get around to shooting a new one.

One of those could be a Black Widow movie. They seem to be really working on the relationship between Black Widow and Winter Soldier in the comics. This cover is for July:

It's already been cast. Johnny Storm is going to be played by Michael B. Jordan, which caused somewhat of an uproar a couple months back.

I thought they announced it but wasn't sure. I'm not following it much till I see a trailer that doesn't look like dogshit.

Until Marvel gets everyone back, all the standalone movies by other studios will be garbage.

Just got out of this movie.. It was excellent, almost as good as Avengers, probably 2nd fave Marvel movie. Really liked it.

Now, they're going full boar with the expanded Spidey universe films. Sinister 6 stand alone and Venom movies. At least 1 is confirmed to be released before Spidey 3- maybe 2? Garfield seems pretty resolute in 3 being his last. I wonder how much the events of 2 and if you know anything about his personal life pushed his decision about remaining with the role? Just read: Before this year's release, Spider Man has made 3.3 billion - by far Sony's biggest cash cow. That's just for 4 films. Counterpoint I read that's a good point. Marvel only has a budget and ability to do X number of films on their universe. If he returned in house it would kill any chance they would ever option to make a full feature movie like they are going to for Antman, Dr. Strange, Black Panther, GotGalaxy, etc.

Sony is confident it'll very likely top a billion by their estimations.

Superman has never been done well on film. I thought the last reboot was the best but what I liked about it is exactly what purist fanboys hated. I'm a Marvel guy but I was always underwhelmed by the Spidey flicks. I never cared much for Toby's Spidey and it seemed the writing/direction got worse with each flick. I think the success of Marvel has to do with their goal. Marvel wants to create a universe - it seems like DC wants to make movies that make money...

That's the difference between a huge conglomerate like WB and Marvel. Marvel was basically an independent film company before Disney took them over. Hopefully the Disney oversight doesn't hurt their product, but so far it hasn't. Posted via Mobile Device |
