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 |

I'll be hitting up the first 2D showing of the day. It's usually something ridiculously low like $5.

Or do you, like so many, find such violent films acceptable for children as long as there is no blood or naughty words? Don't get me wrong... I saw Robocop, Predator, and Die hard before I was 10 years old and it didn't scar me.. but this 'bloodless violence' trend so they can sell it more openly to kids seems wrong to me. I'm more curious if you would feel the same if they used squib packs and showed the violence as being as messy as real violence is. Not condemning your parenting or anything. Just an honest question. |

There were a couple moments in this film that kind of surprised me. Plus, him taking on the machine guns in CA1 and Avengers. I know he is a soldier so it shouldn't have really surprised me.
I do think they keep his killing low for the most part because of the kids that may watch this. I'm not sure I would take my 6YO to see it though.

He's a soldier. He tries not to, and he feels really bad when he does, but he'll kill people if he has to.

That's not my point. My problem is that those movies were rated R and now they just remove blood and slap a PG(13) label on everything for the explicit purpose of selling it to kids. It seems really dishonest to me. |

Well, I can't speak as much to movies because I never really paid attention, but it has bothered me in cartoons. I happened to watch some clips of the old Samurai Jack cartoon on YouTube the other day and that mother****er was killing everybody. No mercy.. But the show made it "ok" by making everyone he fought a robot or a shadow monster. No blood, no guts- only oil and black, shadowy goo. And while we're in a comic book thread, pretty much any X Men cartoon ever made. Wolverine is basically useless. He'll get all pissed off, *snikt*, bear down on the enemy all intimidating-like, then...... slash his gun in half? I never noticed as a kid but they were trying to spare us the gore, I guess. |

The only thing that I would really avoid with him are movies with overt sexuality and over the top language. Kids hear adults cuss all the time. As long as he knows that he isn't allowed to say it and doesn't then I'm cool with it. Wrt violence, obviously I won't be watching Django or Machete with him, but kids see violence on tv and movies all the time (Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, etc). As long as your kid can separate reality from friction and doesn't act out after seeing the movie then I don't have a problem with it. |

Plus, it's pretty badass when Cap takes out that gunship from his motorcycle.
You have to factor in the badass. |
