It's not exactly a surprise that the crowd at the San Diego Comic-Con erupted in cheers when the title of the
Captain America: The First Avenger sequel was announced at the event back in July.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier will presumably bring back 'Bucky' (Sebastian Stan) as 'The Winter Soldier' in an adaptation of Ed Brubaker's critically acclaimed arc which saw the character brought back to life as a brainwashed Soviet assassin. The choice of a directing duo in the form of the Russo Brothers (
You Me And Dupree,
Community) is understandably worrying many, although there are still plenty of other reasons to be excited, including the news that Anthony Mackie (
The Adjustment Bureau) has signed up to play The Falcon. Set to be released on April 4th, 2014, Chris Evans has reportedly told
Collider's Steven Weintraub when filming on the sequel will begin.
