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 watched The First Avenger last night and read the Ed Brubaker run on the Winter Soldier comics. Both were great. I'm super pumped And if you liked the Brukabker run, then you should check out Velvet from Image. |

I wish i could see it in IMAX, but the IMAX theaters around here only show it in 3D. I refuse to pay for 3D anymore.

I just saw it in plain old 2D, and it was still outstanding. Action-wise, it has more than just superheroes punching each other; it had some of the best-choreographed and executed car chases, aerial combat sequences, and run-and-guns I've seen in a long time.
And soooo much for us Marvel acolytes to completely freak out over. |

I just saw it in 2d myself, and wow. That was incredible. I went in thinking it would be good and it was even better than I expected. The reviews are right on: it's more of a political thriller than a comic book movie, and the action sequences are some of the best I've ever seen put on film. It's amazing how they made something so completely unrealistic (referring to the combat) seem so visceral. It's even better than the stuff in Avengers (and much more 'reality'-based). And everybody was good, performance wise.
I'm actually really looking forward to Agents of SHIELD on Tuesday now. Or agents of whatever the hell they are now. |

I was surprised at how cool the Falcon character/backstory really was.
