Review: The Winter Soldier
If
Captain America: The First Avenger is an earnest and accessible take on the superhero genre, then its sequel
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is its serious older brother. Following Steve after the events of
The Avengers,
The Winter Soldier takes itself a little bit more seriously. This movie is always a delight to watch, taking on the genre of the Cold War thriller without making it too grim. Addressing themes of surveillance, corruption, terrorism, and international security,
The Winter Soldier doesn’t shy away from the reality of a super-soldier working within the modern security apparatus. With Hydra serving as a nice throughline from The First Avenger, the world differs greatly from the one Steve grew up in: threats are no longer overt, but covert.

But now Disney is ready to go higher, further, and faster once again, because they have begun development on the film.

In other words, audiences are in for an extraterrestrial-centric adventure! One of the great things about the comic book storyline is that it involves a plethora of characters, and the show has an opportunity to bring in some major characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

For those of us here in the UK, there’s less than three weeks to go now until Disney and Marvel Studios kick-off Phase Two of the Cinematic Universe with the release eagerly-anticipated
Iron Man 3 on April 25th (our North American readers will have to wait a little longer, with the film opening on May 3rd), and so naturally the marketing machine has continued to roll on these past seven days as we count down to the Armored Avenger’s latest big screen adventure. In addition to a new international poster, we’ve also seen two TV spots featuring snippets of new footage, as well as the
