Marvel Studios has released the first still from Captain America: The Winter Soldier as production began on the film that is being directed by Joe and Anthony Russo and will be released less than a year from now on April 4th, 2014.  The still is a low key photograph of Chris Evans as Cap with his trademark shield strapped to his back standing before what looks like some sort of corrugated metal door adorned with S.H.I.E.L.D. symbol.

 

Marvel also released a synopsis for the film, which is based on Ed Brubaker’s Winter Soldier arc: Captain America: The Winter Soldier will pick up where Marvel’s The Avengers left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, aka the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington D.C.”

 

Sebastian Stan returns as Bucky in a cast that also includes Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/Falcon), Cobie Smulders (Agent Maria Hill), Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter), and Toby Jones (Arnin Zola). 

 

Marvel Studios also released the name of the character that will be played by Robert Redford, who joins the all-star cast as Agent Alexander Pierce, a senior leader within the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization (see "Marvel Movie Shocker--Robert Redford in Talks for 'Captain America' Sequel").
