Captain America: The Winter Soldier pre-release thread

^^^
If Steve's return was in a Captain America 4 after Evans had completed an Avenger trilogy and Cap trilogy might be a good way to recast. It'd be 2020 give/take a year or so and I'm sure Evans would be wanting to move on as well.
Steven is back from the dead and comments like "Steve glad you're back, look a bit different, you sure you're okay" type comments. As a wink/nod to the recast. Like Rhodey's "Yeah, it's me, deal with it" from IM2.
 
Atwell was excellent as Peggy Carter, but having her play Sharon as well would have made the situation really creepy, as opposed to just kinda creepy. Though it won't be as creepy now as it was when Cap first woke up in the '60s, where he essentially dumped a fortysomething Peggy for a younger model.
 
In regards to the Sharon Carter, will she/won't she with Haley Atwell this is perhaps a "no news" story but decide for yourself.

Ms. Atwell couldn’t manage even a proper non-denial denial, but she did say:

“I can’t say yet because it hasn’t been officially released, and Marvel are very protective of their franchise.

Which, according to the Bleeding Cool Translatatron, means she’ll be back. Probably.
 
That just makes me think that if Atwell does come back, she'll be playing Peggy in a flashback, not Sharon in the present.
 
I've not heard of this blog before, not sure if it has "sources" or if it's just a well run fan blog. A guy somewhere else is always linking to it and cites he does get some good scoops.

So, salt shaker in hand here is the rumor I'm passing along to the mill.
There is talk that Hayley Atwell could end up taking on the role of Sharon Carter in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. If this is the case, where does this leave Anna Kendrick's role in the film? Anna has been a front-runner for an unnamed new female part. I wouldn't be shocked if this turns out to be Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman) and not Sharon Carter.
I mentioned to the guy who posted this that he never claims to have information. It just sounds like the site runners own wish to happen.
Still Kendrick as Spider-Woman sounds nice plus she's about the best real talent acting wise to come out of the Twilight pictures.
 
I'm glad Mackie is excited but he needs to slow down a bit. Falcon not only is not the first black superhero but not even the first Marvel one to make it on screen. In the MCU or other. Blade my friend, then War Machine but we are all as stoked about Falcon getting his due cause it's going to be a huge profile boost for the character.

Meanwhile Evans is teasing in a few interviews as well.
“A lot of that stuff [that was cut] is for Captain America 2. That is his story. It is him trying to on a personal level adjust to the fact that everyone he knows is gone and the whole Peggy Carter of it all. There are a lot of things that he kind of has to come to terms with. So I don’t know. I am excited to kind of see flashes of the first Captain, if you know what I mean, and to see his memory of what we now know as an audience of who he was.”
 
Well, he did say the "first African-American" superhero" which I believe is true in comics. The Black Panther wasn't an American. Blade came later and isn't really a superhero.

Anthony Mackie said:
I feel like this being truly the first African American superhero, being introduced in this movie and in this way, I feel like it’s going to be great.”
 
Blade my friend, then War Machine
Er, both of those characters came much later than Falcon. Falcon debuted in the 1960s; Blade in the 70s, and Jim Rhodes only became Iron Man/War Machine in the 1980s/90s.
That comment was awhile back and not in relation to their chronological appearance in the comics.

I believe we were commenting on Mackie's statement he was excited to be the first African-American hero in the MCU on film. I was pointing out that War Machine got there first(IM2 of course) and that while not MCU Blade has made to film first as well representing Marvel comics.
 
I thought he clearly meant that he was excited to be playing the first African American superhero, which is correct. He didn't say anything about being the first one in the MCU.

If that's the case then yeah, I probably just read it too fast at the time and I misunderstood his statement.
