Marvel Studios may have potentially leaked a crucial narrative detail regarding one of the new characters in their upcoming superhero thriller Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Set in the aftermath of Avengers Assemble and Thor: The Dark World, the present-day sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger once again stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers and Scarlet Johannson as Natasha Romanov, as well as introducing Anthony Mackie as the Falcon and Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce.
(POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT!!)
It transpires, though, that Redford's role in the follow-up will not necessarily be limited to the guise of Pierce, an influential member of the SHIELD organisation. If Screencrave are to be believed, then one of the tracks set to feature on the film's soundtrack carries the following title: Alexander Pierce is the Red Skull. We've seen such foolish marketing-related spoilers before in the past, for instance with the tracks The Ballad of Ianto Jones and I Can Run Forever which featured preliminarily on the Torchwood: Children of Earth album that released before the series' initial broadcast, but if this does turn out to be true (and we haven't long to wait now until we know for certain), then whoever leaked the aforementioned track listings will probably find themselves in search of alternative employment in a few days' time! Even if Pierce is a reincarnated version (perhaps teleported to the USA in 2014 by the Tesseract?) of Hydra's leader, though, don't expect to see Cap face off against him until his third solo outing, in a similar vein to Loki's secret inheriting of the throne in The Dark World being most likely left up in the air until Thor 3 due to the fact that Avengers: Age of Ultron is so crammed with heroes and villains already.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier mobilises in UK cinemas nationwide on March 26th.
