Captain America: The First Avenger will be out next week and Joe Johnston has been making his rounds doing his promoting of the film. While talking with Screen Rant Johnston talked a little bit about discussions he has had with Marvel about continuing Bucky's story through a Winter Soldier film.
Said Johnston:
“I told the Marvel guys that there is a character that I’m really interested in called ‘The Winter Soldier’ and that if, ‘you guys decide to make that picture I would definitely be interested.’ It’s the Bucky Barnes story. We talked about ‘The Winter Soldier’ which is the continuation of what his story is. It’s basically that he is captured by the Russians and he’s brainwashed and turned into an assassin. But you know there are a thousand ways to go with that. I just think that it would be interesting to take a character that was in ‘Captain America’ and build a story around him. Plus, I like Sebastian Stan a lot (who played Bucky) I think he would be an interesting actor to build another feature around.”
Johnston went on to say that he has actually signed on for another Marvel Universe movie, and that he is interested in going in to Marvel's Vault to find a character that he can develop a story around.
Continued Johnston:
“Well I only signed on for two. The actors have to sign on for six, at least six, and I only sign on for two which is not to say that I wouldn’t agree to do more or that they would ask me to do more — I don’t know. But my point is that there are thousands of characters in the Marvel Universe, of which I am only familiar with a very few of them and it might be interesting to sort of go into the Marvel vault and find a character that you can develop a whole story around. I would definitely be interested in doing that.”
