While at a DVD and Blu-ray signing at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, California for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the Russo Brothers were on hand to answer questions from fans who all came in a variety of cosplay.
When asked by Coming Soon about cameos in the movie, the Russos talked about a particular truck that may be driven by a Marvel Universe vigilante who could be getting their own One-Shot down the line. According to the brothers, when Nick Fury is being attacked in the streets, a yellow Penske truck slams into his attackers and then later on in the movie, when Agent Sitwell is thrown into traffic, he is hit by the very same Penske truck. They then gave a very tongue in cheek response to indicate this person may be someone we recognise…
“The man who drives that truck is very highly trained,” joked Joe Russo. “He thinks on his own terms. He’s got a plan and a very specific skill set.”
Could this be The Punisher, who’s rights are now back at Marvel? Or a Liam Neeson from Taken cameo??
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is out now on DVD and Blu-ray, with a cast that includes Marvel veterans Chris Evans (Captain America), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Cobie Smulders (Agent Maria Hill), Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter), Toby Jones (Arnim Zola) and Maximiliano Hernandez (Agent Jasper Sitwell) alongside Cinematic Universe 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, George St-Pierre (Death Warrior) as Georges Batroc / Batroc the Leaper, and Robert Redford (All Is Lost) as Alexander Pierce.

This is quite possible, if I watch marvel one shot: all hail the king then you see the mafia peoples names above the door as Trevor is walking
Luke Owen says
A Punisher one-shot would be awesome. Probably better than a whole movie really.

Maybe it was Aaron Cross (Bourne Legacy), he is listed by insight in the Maryland targeting sequence.

I’ve been waiting for them to bring Punisher back. Putting him in with Captain America is a good idea too, they have a really interesting dynamic with Cap hating him for being a psycho while Castle looks to Rogers as the biggest hero around. If only they would let Thomas Jane have the role again because face it, dirty laundry was the best one shot yet.
Barry says
Anyone but Tom Jane, someone that actually looks like a dangerous figure, not some short normal looking guy.

Watch the news… those are the most dangerous.
John says
I can’t believe you fall for this bullshit. There is no Punisher reference. It’s just Marvel trying anything for people to think they have planned all this shit beforehand. What’s next ? The waitress who hit on Cap in the Avengers must be Jessica Jones undercover.
Guest says
Jeez man, did someone piss in your cheerios or something? What’s your problem? Just let people have their theories, doesn’t do any harm.
TheRyan says
Why does it matter either way if they planned it all beforehand or not? Marvel has done an exceptional job with their cinematic universe, there’s no denying that. If they’re fun movies then I’m gonna watch no matter what.
Luke Owen says
Oh dear. Did the people having fun with fantasy booking ruin your day? Cheer up pal.
Bruce Wayne says
Weaving Frank Castle into the Avenger universe would be absolutely beautiful
