The film's directors consist of Anthony and Joe Russo and the script was penned by Christopher Markus and Stephen Freely. Samuel L. Jackson will also be a part of the film, taking on the role of Nick Fury along with Scarlett Johansson, who will return as Black Widow.
Hollywood veteran Robert Redford will join the cast playing "Agent Alexander Pierce, a senior leader with S.H.I.E.L.D. who often serves as an intermediary between Tony Stark and Nick Fury in the comics." Agent13, known to fans of the comic as Sharon Carter, will be played by Emily VanCamp, who is said to be a new love interest for the hero.
The first film's love interest Peggy Carter, played by Hayley Atwell, will make an appearance in "Winter Soldier" along with Bucky Barnes, who will once again be played by Sebastian Stan.
