How will Captain America 3 connect to Avengers 2? And what's in store for The Winter Soldier?
Recently, Den of Geek's Don Kaye spoke with Captain America: The Winter Soldier directors Joe and Anthony Russo about that film's place in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Both were as forthcoming as can be reasonably expected considering that folks involved with the Marvel machine tend to joke (are they joking?) about being killed if they reveal too much. Still, we managed to get some interesting tidbits out of them about Captain America 3, the arc of the Winter Soldier, and the connection to Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Since Cap is such a major player in the Avengersfilms, it's only natural that Captain America 3 will have to be influenced by the events of Avengers 2. Anthony Russo hinted that "philosophically there is some interesting stuff that happens in Age of Ultron that we will pick up and carry over in our film."
He's even more explicit about what might be in the cards for the Winter Soldier in Captain America 3:
"Certainly it’s no secret that Cap 3 will involve a continuation of the Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier storyline. It’s something that is a prime motivating factor for Cap and we think something that’s very thematically strong in the Cap universe. We feel like we just scratched the surface of that story...Now we’ll have the opportunity to dig deeper and explore him as a character and who he is moving forward. Does he have Bucky’s memories or does he not? And if he doesn’t, can you even call him Bucky Barnes? There are a lot of really interesting philosophical questions to play with for that character."
There's lots more about Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America 3, and Agent Carter in our full interview with Joe and Anthony Russo right here.
