Just a minor tidbit of news today, but on schedule for a change:

When a movie's promotional campaign starts handing out free clips, you know the actual release is only weeks, if not days, away. I knew that already of course, but the general audience isn't supposed to be in the know as much as I (or simply just not as much of a know-it-all as myself). Of course, such a clip still serves purely as advertisement and therefore refrains from giving away vital plot information. We get to witness an all-in-a-day's-work type of skirmish in the adventurous life and times of the Star Spangled Avenger, as he infiltrates a secret ocean base that has been commandeered by a second rate villain (Batroc the Leaper) few non Marvelites will have heard about, with only minor tie-ins to the overarching plot of the film proper. The scene shown in this fragment of the final film also serves as its opening, re-introducing Cap and Black Widow for an audience that needs its memory jogged to remember who these characters were again and how well they played together, both in terms of action and snappy dialogue. If you hadn't seen the first movie yet you largely get the handle on Cap, though you might fail to understand those few comments relating to him being a character out of time. He seems to be blending in fine though, running black ops missions for S.H.I.E.L.D. As the new footage that concludes the clip reveals, he won't keep doing fine though, as he's in for a serious reality check as to how much America has changed from the simpler times he was born and raised in. Luckily Widow will continue to have his back. And since both of them are slated to re-appear in Avengers: Age of Ultron, I wouldn't expect any dramatic casualties on their part. I hear Samuel L. Jackson's Marvel contract is rapidly expiring though. Who knows, maybe S.H.I.E.L.D.'s one eyed top dog will finally go down with his helicarrier?
