Captain America 3 Directors Talk Better Villain

Captain America: The Winter Soldier hits home video on September 9th, but who will be the villain in part 3 of the franchise?

CelebNMusic247.com has learned via ScreenRant that Captain America directors are talking about the upcoming third installment which will end the franchise.

When speaking to Comicbookmovie.com Joe Russo weighed in on the hopes for a new Marvel universe characters to appear in Captain America 3:

“It’s always exciting to put Cap in a situation where he’s dealing with other characters because part of his super power is his morality, and there’s an inspirational quality to his character.”

“So it’s nice to have characters around him that he can inspire. Leadership is also a key component of his, and you can’t lead unless you have other characters around. But he’s also got an expanding universe — Winter Soldier, Agent 13, the Falcon — so there’s already a universe that’s expanding around him. It’s exciting to mix that up, and we may or may not have a few tricks up our sleeve, but that’s about all we can say without spoiling the story for anybody.”

As for, Marvel Cinematic Universe is its use of villains in Captain America 3 the primary antagonists better-developed than in other Marvel films, with more clear motivations, but they bring a real sense of danger to the screen for our favorite heroes.

Especially with Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes returning as the deadly Winter Soldier and used as a super assassin by Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford), Captain America: The Winter Soldier arguably has the best villains, so given what happens to the pair by the end of the film, how does the film followup in Captain America 3.

Director Anthony Russo says:

“Here’s the thing. The think we love about Bucky is he’s a really complicated character; very tragic, complicated character. Here’s a guy, when you look at him, is he the world’s worst assassin or is he the longest serving POW in history? You could look at him as one of two things. Either he’s innocent by reason insanity or the equivalent of that, in terms of not being responsible for his actions because he was brain controlled, or he’s a monster. It’s a very complicated place. It’s a hard place to move forward from that. In relationship to Cap, it’s like is Cap ever going to be able to access the guy he used to be?”

Joe Russo adds:

“And if he can’t, well who is Winter Soldier? Is he Bucky Barnes anymore or is he somebody knew? So those are all really interesting questions to ask with him. It’s our job on the next one to outdo the villain from the last one. But because that’s a mandate of ours, it’s always something we put an incredible amount of focus on. The stakes aren’t high enough. The audience doesn’t feel those stakes. If the characters aren’t in jeopardy continually throughout the film, then you lose a certain narrative momentum to the movie. As we said, you can only define the hero against the villain. So the greater the villain, the greater definition you get out of your hero.”

Could The Red Skull then return to the MCU in future Captain America stories or other Marvel projects?

Russo has this to say about the subject of returning villains vs new ones for Captain America 3, The Russos stayed somewhat tight-lipped about the storyline of the upcoming installment.

Anthony continues:

“We can’t really comment specifically in terms of where we’re going with it, just because we don’t want to spoil anything for anybody. But certainly, look. That’s the great thing about the Marvel universe, is anything is possible. All these characters exist. And as we’ve seen on the publishing side, there’s very inventive, creative ways to make characters relevant again and surprising ways to make the characters relevant again. He’s a great character. Whether or not he finds his way back I can’t really say.”

At this point the villain has yet to be revealed for Captain America 3 nor has an official title, but we will keep you posted….
