We are now less than a month away from what is promising to be the crown jewel of the Marvel stable
Captain America: The Winter Soldier hits on April 4th here in the states but we have for you today a 4 minute extended preview. The preview is basically an extension of the scene we've seen in every preview thus far, Cap, Widow, and their team getting ready for an assault and Cap jumping out of the plane without a chute. We find out in this clip that the team is there to take out some pirates who've taken hostage aboard a merchant vessel. What follows gives us the best look yet at Cap as a true leader.
The Avengers didn't really give us enough of that for my taste, but we see here that he's settled into the role and can command with the best of them. Oh, yeah, also ScarJo still looks incredibly good in tight leather. Described by many as a 70's espionage thriller,
The Winter Soldier definitely guarantee's some major changes in the Marvel universe...for those unfamiliar, the events in the comic book Winter Soldier storyline were the catalyst for the epic Civil War storyline where heroes had to choose sides when the government decides that costumed heroes should give up their secret sides and register or be declared outlaws. The biggest thing that matches up here is the exclusion of Nick Fury from S.H.I.E.L.D., and for the record no, I don't think Fury is actually dead as the trailers will lead you to believe. I'm fairly certain that we will find out, probably in post-credits, that what we see if mearly Fury faking his death so he can split from SHIELD. This raises a ton of other questions, most notably with regard to Chris Evans announcing a break from acting after his current contract expires, Marvel's Civil War ended with the death of Steve Rodgers...could we be approaching that?
