Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s Robert Redford on the attraction of starring in a Marvel movie

January 27, 2014 by admin

This Spring screen legend Robert Redford (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All Is Lost) is set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe where he’s set to take on the role of S.H.I.E.L.D. chief Alexander Pierce in the solo sequel Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Now, while we’re sure there’s more to his character than meets the eye (if I were a betting man, my money would be on The Red Skull), Redford has taken a moment to explain the attraction of starring in a Marvel movie during a chat with Entertainment Weekly at the Sundance Film Festival.

“One of the reasons that I did it was I wanted to experience this new form of filmmaking that’s taken over where you have kind of cartoon characters brought to life through high technology. The Avengers series is a product of high technology playing a major role in the new order of filmmaking so I wanted to experience that — I just wanted to know what that was like and I had that opportunity, so for me it was like stepping into new terrain just to experience what it was like.”

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is set for release on March 26th in the UK and April 4th in North America and also stars Marvel veterans Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes / The Winter Soldier), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Cobie Smulders (Agent Maria Hill), Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter), Toby Jones (Arnim Zola) and Maximiliano Hernandez (Agent Jasper Sitwell) alongside MCU newcomers Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker) as Sam Wilson / Falcon, Emily VanCamp (Revenge) as Sharon Carter / Agent 13, Frank Grillo (Zero Dark Thirty) as Brock Rumlow / Crossbones, and George St-Pierre (Death Warrior) as Georges Batroc / Batroc the Leaper.
