Those who made the cut as potentials include Emilia Clarke, Jessica Brown Findlay, Teresa Palmer Imogen Poots and Alison Brie. Anna Kendrick and Felicity Jones are no longer in the mix.
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.
Details of the role itself are unknown, though in the comic storyline Peggy Carter's (played by Hayley Atwell in Captain America: The First Avenger) 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 Russo brothers will shortly pick their fave of the five they want for the part.
Scarlett Johansson will apparently show up as Black Widow in the film. How big a role she'll play is also unknown.
The sequel will hit theaters April 4, 2014.
