Robert Redford Spoils CAPTAIN AMERICA 2 Role Detail; Anthony Mackie’s ‘Falcon’ In 60% of Movie
Recent comments from Robert Redford has the Captain America: The Winter Soldier actor possibly spoil an aspect of his character, while Anthony Mackie declares The Falcon’s very involved in the movie!
Meanwhile, Here Be Geeks has quoted thespian Robert Redford as he was speaking with The Straits Times and offered an interesting, and possibly spoilerific, tidbit about his role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The veteran actor is playing Alexander Pierce, the Head of S.H.I.E.L.D., in the Anthony & Joe-directed film. However, Redford explained that, “I think a career requires a certain amount of reinvention. If you get caught in one track I think that can be dangerous. Success has a dark side to it. you want to be careful if you’ve had success at something, that you not try and follow it by just duplicating it. That’s why I’m doing this Captain America thing. I like the idea of playing a villain…I did that just because it’s a different thing for me to do.”.
This quote could have been taken out of context, but considering Robert Redford's high-caliber status, his character's “sleeper Agent” history, and Marvel producer Kevin Feige's recent comments about Steve Rogers being “uncomfortable with the way S.H.I.E.L.D. operates” in the film, Alexander Pierce turning out to be a villain isn't too hard to believe. Here Be Geeks goes on to speculate that “Alexander Pierce” is a faulty name, and that Redford is actually playing Soviet military General Aleksander Lukin, who played a major part in The Winter Soldier comic book arc.
