guess its just me but i dont see any reason to wait around to use Winter Soldier. i think they could have him pop up in pretty much any Marvel Movie. i mean he is an international assassin.
I don't think you can beat around the bush with the Winter Soldier's identity on film, as opposed to in the comics. He'll be played by Sebastian Stan; the audience will know who he is (and, as opposed to the comics version, he probably wouldn't look much different than he did in 1945; if Steve sees Winter Soldier, he should recognize him).Why not? I think Winter Soldier can be introduced as an villain in Cap 2, then reveal his true identity in Cap 3, so both WS and Cap can join together to face the final boss (Baron?).
I wonder what the movie would have been like if Bryan Singer directed it?
He's not frightened of offending anyone when it comes to World War II things, he can handle studios and he would give some of the more bland moments like Bucky's death the proper emotional gravitas.
I mean, it's like Ed Brubaker's tiny scene with Doctor Erskine in "Captain America Reborn". All throughout it you got a sense of joy between Steve and Erskine and the tragedy was just so horrible shortly after and that's what he did with like three pages. Wish the movie had taken it's time with that scene a bit better and had something that emotional.
