New Photos from 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'

Very quietly, Thor: The Dark World has become the third highest-grossing Marvel Studios film with $629M worldwide, only trailing The Avengers and Iron Man 3, proving that audiences haven't had their fill of superheroes just yet. In fact, they seem to be flocking to the theater in even greater numbers, which bodes well for next year's sequel Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Empire has revealed a handful of new photos from the anticipated film, including one that features Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Redford. How would you like to be let in on those conversations when the cameras shut off? The image of Winter Soldier wielding Cap's shield could be prophetic as those who read the comics know he takes over the Captain America mantle at one point. Not saying it will happen on the big screen, but you never know.

Starring Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grillo, Georges St-Pierre, Hayley Atwell, Toby Jones, Emily VanCamp and Maximiliano Hernández, Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens April 4th.
