	Hellsing - 10/29/2012, 2:13 PM Login to report abuse wouldn't be surprised if they replace Lukin with Zemo or combine elements both of the characters.
	Spideyguy94 - 10/29/2012, 2:14 PM Login to report abuse Awesome, re-read the red menace ultimate collection today as well, and crossbones has a big part in that storyline haha weird
	BruceLeroy - 10/29/2012, 2:16 PM Login to report abuse Crossbones is a beast in the comics. Hopefully they do him justice.
	CaptainObvious - 10/29/2012, 2:18 PM Login to report abuse I know nothing about this character so I'll wait and see how it goes.
	TheGambitFreakIsBatmanOfCBM - 10/29/2012, 2:18 PM Login to report abuse "When Captain America throws his mighty shield, All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield. If he’s led to a fight and a duel is due, Then the red and white and the blue’ll come through When Captain America throws his mighty shield!" And this is why Captain America: The Winter Soldier is my most anticipated.

	JerBear - 10/29/2012, 2:42 PM Login to report abuse @MisterMagurlypse But Crossbones isn't the one pulling the strings, he's a crony type villain. There's gotta be 3 villains in this one.
	PantherX - 10/29/2012, 2:44 PM Login to report abuse Apparently the Variety article also confirms Cobie Smulders will return as Mariah Hill for this one. So yay I guess? Can't wait for Phase 2!

" when Captain America throws his mighty shield those who choose to oppose his shield must you yield, unless your plane or a bomb or some ice then he'll choose to take a nap because the ice seems nice when Captain America throws his mighty shield!"

	DocDangerous - 10/29/2012, 3:03 PM Login to report abuse Alright Marvel. You didn't ask me if I was interested in playing Bucky. Now you pass me over for Crossbones? What the hell?
	Greengo - 10/29/2012, 3:03 PM Login to report abuse Cool beans. He definitely has the cheekbones for it.

	EggsBenedict - 10/29/2012, 3:08 PM Login to report abuse How big is he? Is he big enough to play Crossbones? From what I remember of him in The Shield, although he's ripped he's kinda small? Maybe I'm wrong...

	TheAmazingChrisReeve63 - 10/29/2012, 3:14 PM Login to report abuse Marvel us just handing out the goodies, baby! For Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we (may) get all kinds of treats. We get mother[frick]ing Winter Soldier for this... We get a confirmed actor for the role of the bad@$$ Crossbones... We just may (just may) get an appearance, or even an easter egg, of Sin... (Seeing as how she plays an important part of the Winter Soldier story arc). We will get an updated/redesigned Captain America suit for this movie... (Preferably, this design). ;) We're gonna have Sharon Carter in this... And the Falcon as well... This is just simply shaping up to be one helluva great Captain America film. :)
	GUNSMITH - 10/29/2012, 3:21 PM Login to report abuse @SPIDEY= IF THEY DON'T CHANGE THE COSTUME AND INPROVE IT TO THAT CONCEPT ART I THINK I'LL BE PTURBED..CAPTAIN AMERICA IN AVENGERS WAS COOL BUT THE FLOW OF THE COSTUME TO ME WAS WACK, THAT HELMET JUST WAS DERPY

	MARVELPSYCHO79 - 10/29/2012, 3:32 PM Login to report abuse This guy has some serious bulking up to do.
	Greengo - 10/29/2012, 3:32 PM Login to report abuse Fanboys will be fapping.
	GUNSMITH - 10/29/2012, 3:33 PM Login to report abuse
	Durango95 - 10/29/2012, 3:34 PM Login to report abuse As long as they dont [frick] up Crossboones costume like they did Caps...
	SuspenseSmith - 10/29/2012, 3:35 PM Login to report abuse @Marvel Have you seen this guy? Go watch Warrior. This guy's plenty big.
	HULK2099 - 10/29/2012, 3:36 PM Login to report abuse Wwwwhhhhhaaaaaaattttttttttt what a surprise!!!!
	RaleighAntrobus - 10/29/2012, 3:37 PM Login to report abuse Damn, picture of Evans makes his Cap look so bad...
	MisterMagurlypse - 10/29/2012, 3:37 PM Login to report abuse @Jerbear....you're correct, as Zemo may be the puppet master and won't be fully revealed till Cap 3. Like we know in TASM, Norman Osborn is the main man but stays in the shadows for now.
	Crossbones - 10/29/2012, 3:39 PM Login to report abuse They got a good actor for my favorite Captain America villain, I am happy :) now let's do him justice.
	SuspenseSmith - 10/29/2012, 3:41 PM Login to report abuse Not a lot of people knows who he is, but like Hemsworth, Hiddleston, and Renner... they soon will.
