Smulders, Jackson In Cap 2

Cobie Smulders will reprise her role of Maria Hill in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" says Variety. She joins her boss in The Avengers co-star Samuel L. Jackson for 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.

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. Frank Grillo ("The Grey," "Warrior") is set to play baddie Crossbones Scarlett Johansson will also show up as Black Widow in the film. How big a role she'll play is also unknown.

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