More Casting Updates For ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’

The guys over at Latino Review, who tend to have a pretty good track record when it comes to inside info on Marvel Studios films, have revealed some new casting updates for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

The site has revealed that despite the sequel’s female lead shortlist including Emilia Clarke, Jessica Brown Findlay, Teresa Palmer, Imogen Poots, and Alison Brie, Marvel has “the most traction with” actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World).

Additionally, the site reveals that there are apparently two undisclosed male roles that duo directors Joe and Anthony Russo are in the process of casting. One role being American and one being foreign, with both being described as “physical”, these roles could possibly be villain roles, Baron Zemo has been long rumored to appear in the sequel. So, who is on the short list for these roles? The first two are Nikolaj Coster Waldau (Game Of Thrones) and Josh Holloway (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol).

While those two are expected to be screen-tested, the site also goes on to reveal that Kevin Durand (Resident Evil: Retribution) may also be considered, even though that possibility is “more clinging to edge of it from the sound of things”. I’d love to see Kevin Durand in more movies, that’s for sure. But what about you guys?
