New Captain America: The Winter Soldier Teaser Poster Already Out

Marvel Studios today released a new teaser poster for their it's upcoming film "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" which stars Chris Evans as the man in red, white and blue.

  I like the appeal of a very worn out and very distraught looking shield. It's symbolic in so many levels for Steve Roger's life post-Avengers (aka Battle of New York) and post-thawing. The worn out shield could also mean him being worn out from all the bureaucracy around him. Like I said, that worn out shield is open to so many interpretation.

Official synopsis: 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 Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.

The film stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Georges St-Pierre, Frank Grillo, Hayley Atwell, Toby Jones, Emily VanCamp, Maximiliano Hernández, Robert Redford, and Samuel L. Jackson.

A Better Look at Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier for Captain America 2

I really hated the first leaked photo of Sebastian Stan as the Winter Soldier/ Bucky Barnes for Captain America: The Winter Soldier but these new photos redeemed everything.

Okay I admit the quality for this one is rather poor but you have to admit that from what you're seeing, the guys at Marvel Studios made it possible for Bucky to look just like his 616 comic book counterpart. Check out more photos after the cut...

New Winter Soldier Concept Art

Here's a new and improved Winter Soldier concept art featuring Bucky Barnes for Marvel Studio's Captain America: The Winter Soldier. 

Here's another resized version of the concept art...

Comicbook.com also shared some interesting tidbits that Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige said during his interview with Entertainment Weekly.

More of Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson on the Set of Captain America 2

Paparrazos were able to take a couple of photos of Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson from the set of Marvel Studios' Captain America: The Winter Soldier starring Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/ Captain America.

Is this Chris Evans' New Costume for Captain America: The Winter Soldier?

Comicbookmovie shared a nice looking concept art which they claim is for Marvel Studios' Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The art features a new costume for Chris Evans' Captain America aka Steve Rogers and its gone through a lot of revamp. 

So what do I think of it? It's way better than his costume in Marvel's The Avengers thats for sure. So lets see, there's elements of what Steve was wearing during his Super Soldier/ Heroic Age/ Commander Rogers phase. Plus there are remnants of the classic "Captain America: The First Avenger" costume fitted in several places like the boots and the knee pads. The site also stated that the costume has done away with the red and white stripes which made the costume dorky. 

Over all, this costume really ties in neatly with the Marvel Studios Phase Two video we saw last week and the Captain America 2 concept art they also released last week. At the moment, it's still really just that, a concept art. But hopefully they push through with this because this looks good. 

Avengers Assemble Animated Series Announced

Marvel has announced that Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes won't be getting a renewal nor a third season. In its place will be a new animated series entitled "Avengers Assemble".

The new show will feature the team from Marvel's The Avengers movie and will include Falcon (who is heavily rumored to make an appearance in Captain America 2).

Honestly its okay with me, I guess the only problem I have is the lack of female characters. EMH was fun because we get to see Ms. Marvel kick ass and we also have The Wasp helping out in different ways throughout the second season.

Plus, we've seen THIS!

New Release Dates for X-Men First Class 2 and Thor 2

Thor 2 now has an official release date of November 8, 2013 with the same cast returning (i.e. Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman). There's also a new director, Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones) and a new villain (Mads Mikkelsen).

Meanwhile Matthew Vaughn will be returning to Marvel's merry mutants with X-Men First Class 2. I'm assuming this would still be released by 20th Century Fox. The bad news? The sequel to the surprise hit from last year has a release date of July 18, 2014.

Other movies that are currently in the funnel include:

Planet of the Apes 2 more appropriately named Dawn of the Planet of the Apes  (May 23, 2014). The movie will still feature Andy Serkis as Caesar with director Rupert Wyatt. The writer for the film? Scott Z the same guy who gave us Contagion.
