While making the rounds for the home release of
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, directors Joe and Anthony Russo are being
quizzed about the third entry in Cap's franchise, which is set to premiere on
May 6 2016.
The duo recently spoke with Movies.com, and revealed
that they have received the latest draft for the film, and teased that we are
in for a surprise.
"We
just got another incredible draft from the writers and are very excited about
the film," Anthony
Russo said. "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."
The director was also quizzed about
the whether or not Sebastian Stan's Winter Soldier would return.
"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."
In Captain America:
The Winter Soldier, Cap allied himself with Black Widow, and for Cap 3 there
are some talks about Hawkeye joining in, but what about Black Widow, Falcon,
Agent 13?
"As
far as where else we want to take the character, we just want to keep moving
Cap forward," said
Anthony. "We
wanted to push the character forward into the modern age with The Winter
Soldier, and we want to keep pushing the character forward. We always want to
be true to who Captain America is, but we want to surprise people about where
he can go and what he's capable of. That's about as specific as I can get about
where we might take him."
Meanwhile, MTV News also
spoke with the directors and asked them whether they would follow on Iron Man 3 footsteps and
bring closure to the Captain America franchise
with the third entry.
"It
is a hard question to answer because it gets to the specific of where the
narratives are going," teased
Anthony Russo. "I
will say this: yes, for satisfying storytelling, you want a beginning, middle
and end. That’s the natural arc that we all thrive off of in narrative." He
continued, "The
great thing about the Marvel universe, just like the publishing, it’s a very
vast, inter-connected universe, where characters will have their rise and fall,
so to speak, and hand off to other characters,” Anthony Russo said. “As the
cinematic universe moves forward, you may start to see the cinematic universe
adopt that same pattern, as the publishing has, where there’s closure with some
characters and new beginnings with other characters. How those hand-offs are
made is always part of the fun."
