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.
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. Cobie Smulders will reprise her role of Maria Hill. She joins her boss in The Avengers co-star Samuel L. Jackson for the film.
Joe Russo and Anthony Russo will direct the sequel, using a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
Production is starting come March in Cleveland.
The sequel will hit theaters April 4, 2014.
Now, Aaron claims that the same source who broke the story about Grillo's casting has some additional information.
It would seem that Grillo is signed on to play the character in three Marvel movies including 'Winter Soldier', and The Avengers 2.
The third film in the deal would likely be a third "Captain America", this leak suggests that Ed Brubaker's epic "The Death of Captain America" storyline from the comics would form the basis for the film.
