"See Ya LA. It was a good trip. Marvel was a lot of fun. Be cool if it works out. #CaptainAmerica" said Grillo.
The tweet comes in the heels of a radio report by IGN's Matthew Aaron on Saturday that claimed Grillo is "this close" to scoring the role of Crossbones in the film.
The story is expected to follow the acclaimed comic storyline The Winter Soldier in which Captain America's (Chris Evans) sidekick Bucky (Sebastian Stan) is resurrected as a brainwashed super-assassin known as the Winter Solider.
In the comics, Crossbones is a mercenary who famously carried out the assassination of Captain America himself Steve Rogers.
Is this one of the 2 roles that Josh Holloway, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Kevin Durand apparently screen tested for in the pic?
Mary Elizabeth Winstead seemingly "has the most traction" for the role of the female lead that follows that Peggy Carter's (played by Hayley Atwell in Captain America: The First Avenger) niece Sharon meets Cap.
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.
Scarlett Johansson will apparently show up as Black Widow in the film. How big a role she'll play is also unknown.
Production is starting come March in Cleveland.
The sequel will hit theaters April 4, 2014.
