Captain America: Winter Soldier
A new teaser trailer, which premiered during tonight’s episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, depicts in explosive (pun definitely intended) detail, the massive destruction, and chaos that Cap’s one-time sidekick the Winter Soldier, a.k.a Buckey Barnes (Sebastian Stan), brings to Washington D.C. Obviously, this won’t work out well for Bucky, because D.C is a city that Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) are determined to protect.
The movie, which is the sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger, will no doubt be full of non-stop action, especially now that all the pesky (and sometimes boring) origin stories are out of the way. I’m sure that it will contain all of the car chases, stand-offs, and epic battles that I can handle.
The feelings of Steve Rogers, ever the patriot (of course), are summed up perfectly in the new TV spot.
“The price of freedom is high and it’s a price I’m willing to pay.”
For the record, Cap, you can save me any day!
The movie hits theatres on April 4th, but in the mean time, you can watch the new trailer here. And check out this recently released poster, featuring a determined Captain America, who is as beautiful under fire as ever.

Girls’ Adam Driver In New Star Wars Movie?
Just to be clear, LucasFilm hasn’t confirmed this casting, but it’s been hinted that Driver will play a (possibly Darth Vador-esque) villain in the new sequel(s).
Anyone who has watched HBO’s Girls is familiar with the character of Adam Sackler — the dysfunctional, dark, hysterical, and, yet, somehow adorable boyfriend of Hannah (Lena Dunham). Driver absolutely nails this performance again, and again, and has the trademark mixture of disturbing, yet alluring, down pat.
Besides Girls, Driver has appeared in a few — mostly independent — films. Fans of the show, however, can attest to his acting prowess, and agree that Driver would make a great choice for an evil villain in a galaxy far, far away.

And Even More Villain News
Captain America: Winter Soldier is definitely not the only Marvel movie set to hit theatres this spring/summer. It will be joined by The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Sony), X-Men: Days of Future Past (Fox), and Guardians of the Galaxy, (which could possibly serve as a lead-in to the much-anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron, which is set to be released in May 2015).
In Age of Ultron, James Spader will play the sadistic, and insane Ultron, a creation of mad scientist/genius Dr. Henry Pym. Ultron is hell-bent on exterminating/enslaving humanity, and eventually turns on his own creator.
It’s recently been confirmed that Thomas Kretschmann will play Baron von Strucker — a Nazi, and member of HYDRA — who dreams of world domination and, despite being previously killed off in the Marvel universe, returns and attempts to achieve his dreams of genocide again.
And Kretchmann’s appearance won’t be limited to just one movie, according to him.
” I have a multi-picture deal which means I will not only appear in the 2nd part [Avengers: Age of Ultron] but they’re planning with me for a longer period of time. But I don’t know details yet, they’re keeping their cards close to their chest – top secret!”
