With production underway on Marvelâs Thor: The Dark World, weâre already starting to see some set photos featuring the triumphant return of Chris Hemsworthâs Asgardian god. Next on Marvelâs docket after Thor 2 is Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Chris Evans recently revealed to Steve exactly when that film starts shooting:[EMBED_TWITTER]https://twitter.com/colliderfrosty/status/245245232214601728[/EMBED_TWITTER]That puts the film on roughly the same 13-month production timeline as the first Captain America, so directors Anthony and Joe Russo shouldnât have a problem making the filmâs April 4th, 2014 release date. Hit the jump for a refresher on what we know so far about the follow-up.As the title infers, we assume that Sebastian Stan will be back as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, which likely pits him as the filmâs primary antagonist as he becomes a brainwashed Russian assassin known as Winter Soldier in the comics. It was also announced that Anthony Mackie will be playing the character of Falcon in the follow-up, a character who derives his powers from a suit which allows him to fly andâin the comics at leastâcan telepathically talk to birds.  Samuel L. Jackson and S.H.I.E.L.D. are also expected to play a large role in the film.A female lead has yet to be cast, but we recently heard that Anna Kendrick (50/50), Felicity Jones (Like Crazy), and Imogen Poots (Fright Night) are the possible frontrunners for the role. The first filmâs scribes Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely wrote the first draft of the script, but we havenât heard much about the screenplay since the Russo brothers signed on to direct. Joss Whedon did a significant pass of the script for The First Avenger, and since he recently signed on to creatively consult on all of Marvelâs films in addition to doing The Avengers 2 one presumes heâll have a hand in the development of The Winter Soldier.As the March start-date looms closer, expect to hear more solid word on the film. Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens on April 4th, 2014.
