Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Commence the geekgasms! After a week of teasers, including the poster and a 10-second trailer, Marvel and Disney have released the first full trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier . A very SHIELD-centric film that seems determined to ground the Marvel Cinematic Universe between the cosmic adventures of Thor: The Dark World and Guardians of the Galaxy. Check out the trailer after the synopsis below.

After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier finds Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy—the Winter Soldier.

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, the film stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Frank Grillo, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Toby Jones, Emily VanCamp, Hayley Atwell, Maximiliano Hernández, Robert Redford and Georges St-Pierre.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is released in Australia on 3 April 2014, and in the US on 4 April 2014, from Disney. What do you think of the trailer? Let us know in the comments section below!
