Hernández Pops Up As Redford Circles Cap 2

Maximiliano Hernández said via Twitter that he will reprise his Marvel's The Avengers role of Agent Jasper Sitwell in the sequel "Captain America: The Winter Soldier".

 

Hernández added that he has a much bigger role in this film.

Meantime--Deadline reports that actor/director Robert Redford (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) has entered negotiations for a senior leadership role in S.H.I.E.L.D. Redford would be a pretty big get for Marvel if he signs on...

 

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. The tale also follows that Peggy's (played by Hayley Atwell in Captain America: The First Avenger) niece Sharon (Revenge star Emily VanCamp) 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. Scarlett Johansson will also show up as Black Widow in the film. How big a role she'll play is also unknown. Cobie Smulders will reprise her role of Maria Hill. She joins her boss in The Avengers co-star Samuel L. Jackson for the film. Frank Grillo ("The Grey," "Warrior") will play the villain Crossbones in the sequel. Toby Jones, has confirmed to Hey U Guys that he will reprise the role of the villain Armin Zola

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

Production is starting soon in Cleveland.

The sequel will hit theaters April 4, 2014.
