Beyond Anthony Mackie’s ‘Falcon’ role and Hayley Atwell’s coy ‘Peggy Carter’ reprisal, three other actresses — Imogen Poots, Felicity Jones, and Anna Kendrick — slipped through the trades as front-runners for a part in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. And while Kendrick is reportedly the top choice for the Marvel role, believed to be Sharon Carter, we’ve yet to hear anything from either of the actresses, until now.
Ain’t It Cool News recently caught up with the Academy Award nominated Up in the Air actress, promoting David Ayer’s End of Watch. And in response to a question regarding her involvement with the 2014 sequel, Anna Kendrick reworded the usual “no comment.”
“All I know is that I can not really say anything,” she said before adding “Sorry, man.”
Given that there’re 2 other Marvel sequels currently filming, and recurring ‘Steve Rogers’ actor, Chris Evans recently confirmed that production on the “political thriller” won’t start for another six months, new Captain America: The Winter Soldier casting announcements shouldn’t be expected anytime soon. What do you think?
Described as a political thriller, Marvel Studios’ “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” will pick-up where the highly anticipated film “Marvel’s The Avengers” (May 4, 2012) leaves off, as Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) continues his affiliation with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and S.H.I.E.L.D and struggles to embrace his role in the modern world. With an expected return from James 'Bucky' Barnes (Sebastian Stan), actor Anthony Mackie is also set to star. And Anthony & Joe Russo (“Community,” “You, Me and Dupree”) take over directorial duties from Joe Johnston, who helmed the first film. And “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” hits theaters on April 4, 2014.
