Captain America 4 is confirmed in the works following The Falcon and The Winter Soldier finale

 

It's official - Sam Wilson has embraced the role of Captain America following the finale of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier... And now a fourth Cap film is confirmed to be in the works following that as reported by THR!

TFATWS showrunner Malcolm Spellman is returning to pen the script alongside Dalan Musson, and while nothing has been confirmed as to who will be returning and what the story will entail - it will most likely be focusing on Sam's new role as the new Captain America of the MCU and will hopefully also include Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier as well (and perhaps John Walker/ US Agent maybe). We'll just have to wait and see how that plays out!

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier: Empire Magazine Cover and Final Trailer released

 

Set to be released this coming Friday and bringing yet another chapter of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the forefront, Marvel Studios has released some new promotional material for "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier" - which brings Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan back as Captain America's two pals Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes...

Marvel Studios CCXP ‘19 panel showcases new looks at Black Widow, WandaVision, and Falcon and the Winter Solider

Marvel Studios has been pretty busy preparing for what’s to come with “Phase 4” of their Marvel Cinematic Universe - filming their upcoming new shows in Disney’s new “Disney +” streaming platform as well as hyping up the new contingent of films that will hit theaters next year - including the new “Black Widow” solo movie that features Scarlett Johansson’s return as Natasha Romanoff. Above is a brand new poster that was revealed in this year’s CCXP ion Brazil (via Comic Book Movie), which shows off the Miss Johansson in all her serious glory as the super spy.

Also seen via Comic Book Movie is new stills from the currently being filmed “Falcon and The Winter Soldier” TV Series - with Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan back as Sam and Bucky!

Then we get a new look at “WandaVision” - featuring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany back as Scarlet Witch and Vision - albeit in a new pic that looks like it’s in a 50’s Sitcom setting. That may clue in to the plot that is probably an adaptation of what has happened in the comics - where Wanda used her reality warping powers to set up the perfect family life for her and Vision - bringing to life two children as well.

The new Marvel films and shows will be showing up between 2020 and 2021 respectively.

ICYMI: Total Film debuts new "Team Cap and Panther" photo for Avengers: Infinity War

In what will probably be one of the most epic scenes for the film, a new photo for "Avengers: Infinity War" has been released by Total Film - showing the combined might of T'Challa/ Black Panther and his Wakandan army alongside the renegade Avengers team led by Steve Rogers/ Captain America, who is alongside Natasha Romanoff/ Black Widow and Bucky Barnes/ Winter Soldier. Basically, that's "Team Cap and Panther" combined, ready to take on whatever that comes their way.

Avengers: Infinity War will be released in theaters on April 25th internationally and April 27th in the US.

Happy Birthday Sebastian Stan, aka Bucky Barnes/ The Winter Soldier in the MCU!

Already riding high playing one of the most popular characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, actor Sebastian Stan celebrates his birthday today! Fans know him better as James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes - Steve Rogers/ Captain America's best friend from World War II who was presumed dead only to comeback as the brainwashed Hydra assassin known as "The Winter Soldier". The actor first appeared as Bucky in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, and reprised it in the 2014 sequel "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and this year's "Captain America: Civil War".

Recently it was confirmed that Sebastian Stan would reprise his role as Bucky/ Winter Soldier in Avengers: Infinity War in 2018. How he plays his part in that film is anyone's guess... But seeing more team-ups between the members of Team Cap is always a good thing!

Sebastian Stan turns 34 this year! Happy Birthday!

Naturally since the film is still due on Friday in the US, SPOILER WARNING.

Ed Brubaker exits Captain America

After almost 8 years of non-stop writing for the book, comic book scribe Ed Brubaker has officially announced that he's wrapping up his long run with Captain America. The writer's tenure with the book offered some of the most prominent highlights of the Star-Spangled Avenger's career in comics, among them being responsible for "killing off" Steve Rogers in the aftermath of Marvel's 2006-2007 crossover event known as "Civil War". 

SPOILER: Ed Brubaker to write new Winter Soldier series.

If you're reading this, then you probably already know that a major revelation happened in this week's Fear Itself #7.1 Captain America. This is SPOILER territory for those who haven't read the issue I mentioned, so veer your eyes away from this post, or be prepared to be spoiled away.

Marvel Teasers: "What if there wasn't only one?"

Marvel has released another teaser poster that's a sure fire way to keep heads bouncing and debating over in the comic book fan circle.

Featured in Marvel.com and Newsarama, a new one sheet points to new speculation that Cable may not be the only Marvel figure returning from the grave. The words "What if there wasn't only one?" is written in a clear black sheet, with a singular red star plastered in the middle. Obvious speculation leads fans to surmise that Bucky Barnes, the partner of Steve Rogers/ Captain America who was the Winter Soldier and perished recently as the second Captain America, is the one being hinted to return, but there's also the chance that it may be someone else coming back... or something new entirely. We won't know for sure until more details flesh out, but the release date is set for January 2012, so look for more details at the source posts at Newsarama and Marvel.com!

SDCC '11: Cable will return in "Cable Reborn"

In the world of comic books, nobody ever stays dead permanently. Look who's made the resurrection list.

That's right. Nathan Christopher Charles Summers, aka Cable, who gave his life to save his adopted daughter Hope for the sake of Mutantkind, is making a comeback. Penned by Jeph Loeb and pencilled by Ed McGuinness, the X-Man from the future will return in a five issue miniseries called "Cable Reborn", which was announced and teased as a mystery initially during Marvel Comics' own panel at the San Diego Comic Con. A lot of guesses were thrown out and one of the candidates suggested by fans was the recently killed Bucky Barnes (who died as the new Captain America in the pages of Fear Itself #3). Now that it's confirmed that Cable is coming back, we'll just have to wait and see how Marvel will bring Cyclops' son back into the fold. For more info, visit the source post at Newsarama!

Cable Reborn debuts its five issue run on December!

Captain America reformats to Captain America and Bucky with issue #620 come July!

Following the announcement that Steve Rogers returns as Captain America and his book will be relaunching with a new #1 come July, the regular series will be getting retitled as a result beginning with issue #620, and shall henceforth be known as "Captain America and Bucky", co-written by Ed Brubaker and Marc Andreyko and illustrated by Chris Samnee. The series will focus on the past, specifically on Steve Rogers and James Barnes adventures together and separately as Cap and Bucky respectively. No word yet on what the fate of Bucky Cap will be in comics, but with Steve making a full return to the mantle come that month, it's safe to assume that it won't be a pretty fate for the former Winter Soldier. For more updates, visit Newsarama and Marvel.com.

Steve Rogers returns as Captain America this July!

With the new movie coming out this July 22, it was only a matter of time until this happened (again)!

Announced by Marvel Comics and reported by the likes of Newsarama and The New York Daily News, Steve Rogers will once again don the stars and stripes uniform and take up the shield, as he once again becomes Captain America in the new Captain America #1 comic coming out this July, taking the reigns away from his partner Bucky Barnes, who is the current Cap at this point of time. Longtime scribe of the series Ed Brubaker will still retain his position as the writer of the new relaunched title, with Civil War illustrator Steve McNiven joining him for art duties! That's right, Cap's getting a reboot and going back to #1 on the serial lists, just in time for the movie and for new readers to catch up on.

The news comes as both amusing and disappointing to hear about. It's great to have Steve Rogers back in the uniform and all, but I've taken to and respected Bucky Barnes run as Cap for the duration of Brubaker's run on the title. Ever since he "killed off" Rogers in the aftermath of Civil War and placed his onetime WWII partner on the costume, he's done great things with the character and did wonders showing that he certainly can wield the shield if push comes to shove. On the other hand, nothing will replace Steve Rogers - He's the one true Cap and there's no denying that the role was tailor made for him since he became the one and only Super Soldier to exist. It was fun seeing the role passed and poked around, but ever since Steve returned (and in a rushed and underdeveloped "Captain America: Reborn" storyline I might add), it already foreshadowed the inevitable happening - that he's going to be Captain America again sooner or later. We saw two Caps fighting together during the events of Siege, but Rogers willingly dropped the responsibility to Bucky so he could give his friend a new sense of purpose and direction, while taking up the mantle as the new "Top Cop/ Nick Fury" of the Marvel Universe. So much has come to pass in the Captain America stories since ED Brubaker took over, and I've stuck around the title since the writer made the jump to it way back in November 2004. It's fitting that he gets to relaunch it again in time for the new flick... but will I stick around and still collect it? Only time will tell for sure. The prospect of having Steve McNiven as artist only adds fuel to the fire. We'll just have to wait and see come July... which also has Chris Evans taking up the mantle in the big screen adaptation flick - Captain America: The First Avenger!

Captain America #1 is due in comic shops this July at $3.99!

More Woe Coming To New Cap Bucky!

Steve Rogers may be back and all, but his former sidekick Bucky is still the present and acting Captain America of this generation. That being said, what the heck is this picture all about? Bucky and Cap back together again? Well, it's actually far from it, and if you've been following the Cap series like I have, the Star Spangled Hero we're looking at in the right side is none other than the deranged "1950's Cap", who has made it a point to turn Bucky into his own sidekick, whether he likes it or not. This image, via CBR, is one of the few scans present in an article detailing the next issue of Captain America which hits next week, as well as some insight on events to come, like the return of old adversary Baron Helmut Zemo, once the Heroic Age hits. All of these questions are answered by Marvel Editor Tom Brevoort, so it's a worthy interview to read up in the site if you're a big Cap fan. Check out the highlights by clicking the link to CBR's post here! Bucky's back in his old uniform...but in a very weird way. Makes for an awesome variant cover though! Writer Ed Brubaker's not going to make life for the New Cap anymore easier, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Forging The Avengers...

Once SIEGE ends, every Avengers title will cease and desist, and out of the ashes will rise a new ongoing series to bear the name of Earth's Mightiest Heroes come May this year. Marvel has teased the line-up with their recent Heroic Age banner, and via CBR and Newsarama, the House Of Ideas has revealed more information about their upcoming new book - namely the creative team behind it. Once again riding in the Avenger saddle is none other than long time writer Brian Michael Bendis. and joining him in the endeavor will be none other than John Romita Jr., who has drawn many of Marvel's heroes throughout the years.



It's still a few months away til the Dark Reign officially wraps up and the Heroic Age begins, but that won't stop the promotions from rolling. Illustrated by Romita Jr, Marvel has revealed the first member of the new NEW Avengers line-up, and as expected, it's Bucky Barnes, who will continue to wear the mantle of shield of his friend and mentor Steve Rogers as the NEW Captain America!

Avengers forges on to a new beginning come May! Watch out for it!

You Want WIN? I'll Give You WIN...

Courtesy of the folks from Newsarama and Marvel.com, we get, yet again, another Siege teaser image, only this time, it's PURE AWESOME:


Norman Osborn/ Iron Patriot at the mercy and gunpoint of Bucky Barnes... The New Captain America! But wait! If Steve's returning, then how will this go down? We'll only know when Siege hits this January! For now, this image is of PURE WIN!

Halloween Costume: New Captain America!

It was All Hallow's Eve, and in celebration of it, I decided to cosplay as one of my favorite characters from comic books - CAPTAIN AMERICA! However, I didn't go as the original Super-Soldier everyone knows and loves, Steve Rogers. Instead, I went as the man who succeeded him after his "death" and tried to carry the mantle of Cap as best as he could - Bucky Barnes!

Being Cap's sidekick and close confidante during World War II, Bucky became the new Captain America after Rogers was seemingly assassinated by the actions of the Red Skull. Carrying the infamous Shield and wielding conventional weapons to protect himself, this new Cap may not have the same strength and agility as the original, but he makes up for it with experience and determination to carry on his mentor's mission of protecting the innocent and living the dream for freedom and peace.

Along with my friends G and Mia, who played characters from the game Persona 3 and the anime Last Exile, respectively, we went around and trick or treated, grabbing some yummy candy and enjoying our time presenting ourselves in our hard worked costumes. All the effort seemed to pay off, and I managed to get some pics with other costume ghouls and gals on the road. Indeed, fun and epic is all I can say about this experience!

Just like that, Captain America Invades Halloween! Freedom Prevails!
