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.
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 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 sequel will hit theaters April 4, 2014.
