Will Nick Fury Die in Captain America: The Winter Soldier?

The second TV spot for Marvel Studios' Captain America: The Winter Soldier is giving us the idea that Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) will most likely die in the movie.

Watch TV Spot # 2 for Captain America: The Winter Soldier below:

He said it. He actually implied that Jackson's Nick Fury dies. But that didn't happen in the comic book version. Also I'm counting how many movies has Jackson appeared as Nick Fury and it doesn't make sense. :(

But truth be told, it's really unlikely that they'd be taking out Nick Fury so early in the game. Marvel knows that Fury's appearance holds cohesion for the Marvel Cinematic Universe so why are they planning to take him out? Agent Coulson's role has been diminished since Marvel's The Avengers so now more than ever we need Fury.

Still I'd watch this badboy. I'm already rooting to see "The Twins"

Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens April 2 and distributed locally by Walt Disney Studios.

PREVIEW: Captain America: The Winter Soldier Minimates

Art Asylum and MTV.com has released a completed look at the Marvel minimates for Captain America: The Winter Soldier and they look cool.

Here's the breakdown of the figures that'll come along with this wave:

» Stealth Uniform Captain America with Brock Rumlow
» Classic Captain America with Winter Soldier
» Black Widow with Falcon
» Agent Sitwell with Batroc

I'm actually quite happy that they didn't go for the masked identities right off bat. Frank Grillo's Crossbones isn't even tagged as his supervillain alias but rather as his civilian name Brock Rumlow. Also I like how they managed to make Georges St. Pierre a bad ass (as Batroc) without having the ridiculous moustache and the weird mask/ google.

And yes it looks like I'll be spending money on minimates this year than any other year. And I won't be doing business locally (as there's now a voracious amount of 'collectors'). I figure I'll probably go and make House of Flair rich this year.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens April 4 from Walt Disney Studios and Columbia Pictures.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Superbowl Trailer

Marvel Studios has a sure winner this year with the release of the second trailer for the film "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" starring Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/ Captain America.

SYNOPSIS: After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy—the Winter Soldier.



The film also stars Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Redford, Sebastian Stan, Frank Grillo and more. This will be released April 2014 by Walt Disney Studios Philippines.

Noteworthy Marvel Minimates Toys R Us Wave 18 Figures

Totally skipped the Marvel Now minimate figures being sold at TRU for the reason that they're overpriced and hard to come by. The next wave of Toys R Us exclusives however, I might not pass on as its got Wolverine (again) and another Winter Soldier.

No photo has been released yet but here's the rundown of characters getting the Marvel Minimates treatment.

Marvel NOW! Thor & Absorbing Man
Age of Ultron Wolverine & Gold Ultron
Captain America & Red Skull/Arnim Zola
Falcon & Winter Soldier

My obvious pick from this set would be the Age of Ultron Wolverine and Golden Ultron plus the two-pack featuring Sam Wilson aka The Falcon and the good guy version of The Winter Soldier aka Bucky Barnes. The rest I'll probably sell, that's if I ever get to order this from the States given that these figures sell like hotcakes.

The Winter Soldier Spotted with Captain America's Shield Foreshadowing Things?

A new still photo featuring Sebastian Stan who plays Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier has been making the rounds online and I must say. WOW!

You can check out the rest of the photos on POPGOESMANILA. 

I'm a big Bucky fanboy and can you just imagine how pissed off I was when Marvel decided to kill off Bucky in Fear Itself? Good thing it was all a dupe for the character and a way to push Steve Rogers back into the role of Captain America.

I definitely want to see this, not now, but in the future. Please MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) please don't kill off Bucky.

MARVEL NOW 2 Officially Announced with Avengers, Inhumans and Invaders

Marvel Comics has just released their opening salvo for the second wave of Marvel Now titles coming our way starting December. These include familiar faces with new creative teams. 

So yes, James Robinson has jumped aboard the Marvel ship and I'm really hoping he kicks ass with this new title featuring unlikely allies Captain America, the Original Human Torch (Jim Hammond), Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier and Namor.

Then there's also AVENGERS # 24 which kicks off a brand new story arc entitled ROGUE PLANET which sees Cap and Iron Man creating a new Avengers team to stop a runaway train-esque planet from colliding with Earth. Even awesome is the fact that they have Esad Ribic as artist.

Finally, the most obvious title that will be coming out for the second wave of Marvel Now titles, INHUMANS by Matt Fraction and Joe Madureira. Guess we have to track down INFINITY closely to understand the story.

Oh and let's not forget about the in-betweener book INHUMANITY which just had it's first cover revealed a few days ago.

Scarjo Smooching Chris Evans in the Set of Captain America: The Winter Soldier

There you have it, the answer as to whether or not Captain America goes for Emily VanCamp's Sharon Carter or moves on with Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow.

So not only will Captain America dump Peggy Carter who will be making an appearance in the movie, he'll also switch girlfriends from Sharon to Natasha.

I guess that means the end of Natasha's obsession over Clint Barton aka Hawkeye and the end of a potential love story between Black Widow and the Winter Soldier.

Too bad for Clint and the rest of us as we'll never get to see BUDAPEST the movie. At least he's still got some love from the Tumblr peeps as much as Loki's.

Or maybe their just pretending to be a couple to evade detection, that can't be ruled out. Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell did it in "Get Smart" so why not do the same here in Captain America 2.

New Costume Concept Art for Captain America in 'The Winter Soldier'

I love the fact that Marvel Studios went ahead in incorporating the 'Commander Rogers' design for Captain America's costume for CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER. Check out the photo below to see what I'm talking about. 

Now that we're talking about the WINTER SOLDIER/ Bucky Barnes, here's a close-up shot of Sebastian Stan as the new villain.

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...

Sebastian Stan's Winter Soldier Spotted on Set

Actor Sebastian Stan was seen recently wearing his Winter Soldier duds for Marvel Studios' "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". And well, I'll reserve the comments for after the cut. 

So it looks like the New Goblin Winter Soldier has finally appeared and is ready to kick the crap out of Chris Evans' Captain America. As much as I would be giddy like a schoolboy over this new photo, I'm mildly amused and wildly saddened. 

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.

Captain America and Black Widow Snapped at the set of Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson was seen in character as Captain America and Black Widow respectively in the set of 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'. 

And yes, it really looks like he's sporting the new Captain America costume that was revealed a few days ago. Then there was ScarJo who still looks pretty as the Black Widow; and again she's sporting a new hairdo for her appearance here in this new Marvel Studios picture.

Marvel Releases Concept Art for Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor 2, and Captain America 2

Check out the new concept artworks for the upcoming PHASE TWO Marvel movies from Marvel Studios including Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Chris Evans reprises his role as Steve Rogers/ Captain America and is now facing bigger threats when the Winter Soldier comes into town. There's also Crossbones who's even more trouble. Luckily for him, he's got backup in the form of The Falcon.

There's also a weird looking world for Thor in 'Thor: The Dark World'...
