Fans Will 'Freak Out' Over New CAPTAIN AMERICA 3 Character(s), Says Co-Director Anthony Russo
Now discussing possibly closing the franchise with third installment, as well as introducing new characters and fleshing out the characters already established, check out the latest from the Russo brothers.
Anthony and Joe Russo are still making the rounds for Captain America: The Winter Soldier's home release, and interviewers are still using this opportunity to ask the duo about the 2016 follow-up, Captain America 3. The sibling directors have yet to reveal anything major, but they recently teased the new character(s) in the threequel and possibility of bringing closure to Steve Rogers' story. "We just got another incredible draft from the writers and are very excited about the film," Anthony Russo told Movies.com. "I can't divulge who is going to be in the film, but I think the fans are going to freak out when they hear about it." When asked about Sebastian Stan's Winter Soldier character, the co-director said, "The relationship between Cap and the Winter Soldier was never resolved at the end of the last movie. Thinking about where that relationship can go is a piece of the puzzle for us for sure. That character is a wonderfully, beautifully tragic figure in the sense of is he the world's most feared assassin or is he the world's longest serving POW. Is he innocent by reason of insanity or the equivalent of it because he's been mind controlled or is he irredeemable? Is he ever going to be acceptable to Cap again as the friend that he used to be before he was the Winter Soldier? These are very philosophical, emotional questions that pique our interest and definitely form one layer of the next movie."
