We’ve a bridging gap from yesterday’s impressive poster debut and tomorrow’s trailer premiere for Marvel’s Phase II entry CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER. The studio have released the first two official stills giving us a look at genetically-modified super soldier Steve Rogers’ re-designed new suit alongside Samuel L. Jackson’s Director Fury. More impressively is an image from the scene that played at San Diego Comic Con, in which the Cap (Chris Evans) takes on a band of rogue agents in the confined space of a cramped elevator. Singlehandedly! It’s an tense, action-packed scene that assured us the return of the Rogers would definitely be worth seeing. How he does it is pretty damn incredible!
UPDATE: We’ve just added the 10 second teaser for tomorrows trailer.
After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy—the Winter Soldier.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. It co-stars Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grillo, Emily VanCamp, Hayley Atwell, Robert Redford, Maximiliano Hernandez, Samuel L. Jackson and hits cinemas 4th April 2014.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
