Please note this review does contain a sort or spioler Story In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America and the Black Widow join forces to stop a covert enemy that is hiding in Washington, D.C. Cast Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America: A World War II veteran who was enhanced to the peak of human physicality by an experimental serum, frozen in suspended animation, and is now struggling to adjust to the modern world.[6] Describing his characters adjustment to the modern world, Evans said, Its not so much about his shock with [technology]... Its more about the societal differences. Hes gone from the 40s to today; he comes from a world where people were a little more trusting, the threats not as deep. Now, its harder to tell whos right and wrong. Actions you take to protect people from threats could compromise liberties and privacy. Thats tough for Steve to swallow.[7] Evans received training in parkour, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, karate, boxing and gymnastics, as the Russo brothers believed that bringing Steve Rogers into the modern day also meant that he had studied and mastered modern fighting styles and techniques. The filmmakers also looked to make Captain Americas shield a more offensive weapon, which has traditionally been used for defense.[8] Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow: A highly trained spy working for S.H.I.E.L.D., who partners with Rogers.[9] Screenwriter Christopher Markus said that Black Widow was a great contrast to Captain America, describing her as incredibly modern, not very reverent, and just very straightforward whereas Steve is, you know a man from the 40s. Hes not a boy scout, but he is reserved and has a moral center, whereas her moral center moves.[10] The Russos added, Shes a character who lies for a living. Thats what she does. Hes a character who tells the truth. Give them a problem and theyll have different ways of approaching it. Shes pushing him to modernize, and hes pushing her to add a certain level of integrity to her life.[11] When asked about Natashas relationship with Steve, Johansson said, By a series of unfortunate encounters, they will be in a situation in which their friendship becomes more intimate. They share many similarities because they live on the defensive without relying on anyone. Also, the two have been working for the government throughout their professional careers. With their friendship they begin to question what they want and what is their true identity.[12] Sebastian Stan as James Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier: Steve Rogers best friend, who has reemerged as an enhanced brainwashed assassin after being thought killed in action during World War II.[8][13] About the character, Feige said, Winter Soldier has been methodically, almost robotically, following orders for 70 years.[14] Stan, who has a nine-picture deal with Marvel Studios including his appearance in The First Avenger,[15] endured five months of physical training to prepare for the role and did historical research stating, I dove into the whole Cold War thing. I looked at the KGB. I looked at all kinds of spy movies, and all kinds of documentaries about that time, and what it was about. I grabbed anything from that time period. Anything about brainwashing.[16] Regarding Buckys transition into the Winter Soldier, Stan said, You know, the truth of the situation is although he looks very different and theres different things about him, it still comes from the same person. I think youll get to see that no matter what. I think part of my goal here was to make sure that you see an extension of that version but just a different color of that same version in a way. I think hes still the same guy; hes cut from the same cloth.[17] Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Falcon: An ex-paratrooper trained by the military in aerial combat using a specially designed wing pack.[8] About the role, Mackie said [Wilson is] a really smart guy who went through major military training and becomes a tactical leader.[18] Remarking, Hes the first African-American superhero. It makes me feel all the work Ive done has been paying off. I have a son, nephews and nieces, and I love the idea that they can dress up as the Falcon on Halloween. They now have someone they can idolize. Thats a huge honor for me.[19] Marvel, who cast Mackie because of his energy and sense of fun,[11] did not let him read a script before signing on.[20] Mackie spent five months doing two-a-day workouts and eating an 11,000 calorie per day diet to get into shape for the role.[21] Commenting on Rogers relationship with Wilson, Evans said, Meeting Mackies character, he used to serve, now he works at the VA counseling guys who come home with PTSD — they connect on that level. I think theyre both wounded warriors who dont bleed on other people. Cap has no one to bleed on. I think Mackie knows how to handle people like that. … Sometimes when things are bad, trusting a stranger is the way to go.[2] Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill: A high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who works closely with Nick Fury.[22] Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow: An operative in S.H.I.E.L.D.s counter-terrorism S.T.R.I.K.E. team.[8][23] About the character, Grillo said, He is a bad ass guy. [He] pretty much beats the shit out of everyone in the movie and thats really it.[24] Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter / Agent 13: A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent assigned to guard Rogers without his knowledge.[8][25] About the character, VanCamp said, I play Agent 13 / Sharon Carter which everyone knows but we dont really touch on that in this film. Were just sort of introducing her. When we first see her we realize shes living next to Captain America... they sort of have a little thing going on and as we all know in the comic books they had a love affair off and on for years. They had a very complicated relationship. Its almost as if they are planting the seeds now. Sort of leaving room to go wherever they want to go with it.[24] Regarding her casting, Joe Russo said, We wanted someone that Cap would have an immediate interest in. It had to be a strong-willed person, and we felt that Emilys work on Revenge was a great test tube for what this character could be. Shes obviously very credible with physicality, she holds the screen really well, and she even looks like the character from the books.[26] Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter: A retired officer with the Strategic Scientific Reserve and former love interest of Captain America.[27] Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce: A senior leader within S.H.I.E.L.D.,[27] a member of the World Security Council and an old comrade of Nick Fury.[28] Redford was cast in part as a homage to his roles in 1970s thrillers such as Three Days of the Condor.[29] As to what attracted him to the film, Redford said, I wanted to experience this new form of filmmaking thats taken over where you have kind of cartoon characters brought to life through high technology.[30] Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury: The director of S.H.I.E.L.D.[31] Regarding Furys questionable code of ethics, Jackson said, Almost everything that comes out of Nick Furys mouth is a lie in some sense. He has to ask, is he even lying to himself, too? He has a very good idea of whats going on but his paranoia keeps him from believing some of it.[7] Jackson added, You see Nick Fury the office guy, him going about the day-to-day work of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the politics as opposed to that other stuff. Its great to have him dealing with Captain America in terms of being able to speak to him soldier to soldier and try to explain to him how the world has changed in another way while he was frozen in time. Some of the people who used to be our enemies are now our allies – him trying to figure out, Well, how do we trust those guys? or How do we trust the guys that you didnt trust who dont trust you? And explaining to him that the black and white of good guys/bad guys has now turned into this gray area.[28] McFeely said, Fury represents an obstacle for Steve in some ways. They dont always agree on how S.H.I.E.L.D. ought to be used. Good points the action scenes where amazing to look at the music was pretty good but not the best in a marvel film chris evans shall now be called captain america instead of human torch hes that good black widow thats all i have to say sam jackson is cool as always and we finally get see his other eye the story flows nicely and doesnt get bogged down by all the action scenes Bad point they kill off my second favorite agent boo you winter solider Overall a kick ass marvel film with a great stan lee cameo i give this picture 8 fight scenes out of 10
