Robert Redford has been confirmed for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
When asked specifically about his role, the Oscar-winning actor clarified: “Well, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. The head of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
He elaborated: “The Captain America thing is just a very simple thing I wanted to do something different. I wanted to do something just to be different. Something bold, different. And that felt like a good thing to do. That was it, nothing more to it than that. Well, it�s bold in terms of expectations, I guess.”
Though he gave no more details about his character, many have theorised that Redford will play an older version of one of Captain America’s friends from the WW II era or that he will play the “original Nick Fury”.
Joe Russo’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier begins production shortly for an April 4, 2014 release.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
