Marvel/Disney finally released the Captain America trailers today, and I'm going to start camping out right now.
I caught most of the comic book references because I read the Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting Winter Soldier comics. Chris Evans is decked out in the Secret Agent Steve Rogers uniform from the Marvel Heroic Age era two years ago (I may be wrong about my dates). The trailer teases Falcon (Anthony Mackie) dodging fighter planes, and I'm glad he isn't wearing that dumb red latex suit.
The only Issue I have with the trailers is there isn't enough Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). She's a kick ass character and I feel like they don't utilize Johansson like they should. There's a ton of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) in these trailers and he should have his own movie as well, or at least give him a cool fight scene. He's the old grumpy ass of the Avengers when he could kick ass and take names once in a while. I'm glad they picked Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) as the villain in this film. The biggest problem with Captain America is his rogues gallery. For the last 70 years he has been fighting Nazis and Hydra.
Here's the extended verison if you're a sad, obsessive nerd like me.
Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C. Winter Soldier will hit theaters April 4.
