While speaking with ComingSoon.net in anticipation of his recent thriller, Berberian Sound Studio, Toby Jones talked a bit about reprising his Captain America: The First Avenger role, Arnim Zola, in Marvel's upcoming sequel, The Winter Soldier. “All I can say about it is that I was pleased to be brought back,” he said. “I thought I might be--because you'd know better than I do--but Zola finds a way to defeat time and you won't be disappointed with the way that's been treated in the film, that's what I would say.” With that said, it's almost safe to assume Zola will appear not only in flashbacks, but also during the present time (likely) in his comic-accurate android-robotic form.
Meanwhile, filming for Captain America: The Winter Soldier is very much underway now in Cleveland, Ohio. And while on set Monday, NBC News caught up with co-director Anthony Russo as he talked about shooting the much-hyped Marvel sequel in his and brother Joe Russo's hometown. “It's going great, couldn't be better,” he said. “Everyone's happy to be here, we're shooting a wonderful scene, downtown Cleveland – perfect. There's a lot of action in the film, and there are several different sequences that we're shooting here. We looked all over the country for a location to shoot this movie, and Cleveland ended up being the right place to do it,” said Russo.
“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” picks 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. Starring Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grillo, Georges St-Pierre, Hayley Atwell, Toby Jones, Emily VanCamp and Maximiliano Hernández with Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Redford, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is directed by the team of Anthony and Joe Russo from a screenplay written by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely and is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series, first published in 1941. Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige is producing the film. Executive producers on the project include Alan Fine, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo and Stan Lee. The creative production team on the film includes director of photography Trent Opaloch, production designer Peter Wenham, editors Jeffrey Ford, A.C.E. and Mary Jo Markey, A.C.E. and three time Oscar®-nominated costume designer Judianna Makovsky. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is set for release on April 4, 2014. In addition to “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” Marvel Studios will release a slate of films based on other iconic Marvel characters including “Iron Man 3” on May 3, 2013; “Thor: The Dark World ” on November 8, 2013; “Guardians of the Galaxy” on August 1, 2014; “Marvel's The Avengers” sequel on May 1, 2015; and “Ant-Man” on November 6, 2015!
