Evans Chats About Cap 2

While on the stump at the Toronto International Film Festival recently for "The Iceman", actor Chris Evans told Collider about how the upcoming sequel "Captain America: The Winter Soldier".

The story is expected to follow the acclaimed comic storyline The Winter Soldier in which Captain America's (Evans) sidekick Bucky (Sebastian Stan) is resurrected as a brainwashed super-assassin known as the Winter Solider.

“Oh, I am fully up to date with my comics. I know all about it. Kevin Feige was talking about [Winter Soldier] when we were filming the first Captain America and well before The Avengers. During the first Captain America we were talking about potential futures and, you know, I don’t want to give too much way.”

Evans says that many of the deleded scenes from Joss Whedon's "The Avengers", quite a few of which are included in the disc release on September 25th, could in fact have been scenes from a direct "Captain America" sequel.

“They had all those deleted scenes with The Avengers… A lot of that stuff [that was cut] is for Captain America 2. That is his story. It is him trying to on a personal level adjust to the fact that everyone he knows is gone and the whole Peggy Carter (played by Hayley Atwell in Captain America: The First Avenger) of it all. There are a lot of things that he kind of has to come to terms with. So I don’t know. I am excited to kind of see flashes of the first Captain, if you know what I mean, and to see his memory of what we now know as an audience of who he was.”

Anna Kendrick, Imogen Poots and Felicity Jones are the current front-runners to play the female lead. Details of the role itself are unknown, though in the "Soldier" storyline Peggy Carter's niece Sharon had a key role.

Anthony Mackie is poised to play Harlem crime fighter Falcon, one of mainstream comics' first black superheroes. Falcon, aka. Sam Wilson, can telepathically talk to birds and has a suit that allows him to fly and enhances his strength.

Joe Russo and Anthony Russo will direct the sequel, using a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

The sequel will hit theaters April 4, 2014. Producton starts in March.

Evans also indicated he’d be ready to make a cameo in the currently shooting "Thor: The Dark World".

"[Chris] Hemsworth and I even talked about that. I would love to do a little thing in Thor 2. It is obviously going to be tricky trying to work out the plot, the reason why I am not there to help him, and why he is not there to help me."
