This preview for Marvel's latest, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, be no trailer for a super-hero movie . It be a trailer for a damn fine looking action flick. One the wife and I are keen to see. Wanna know why? Just watch: See! I don't know what the team at Marvel eat for breakfast, but they've done a fantastic job translating their comic-book universe into a cinematic one. Perfect casting, nicely woven mythology that continues from one film and character to the next. I'm in awe of what they've done. Winter Soldier looks to continue that trend, and they've recruited Robert Redford . That's right, Robert Fucking Redford! Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.  Anthony and Joe Russo direct the flick, which hits theatres April 4.

Alternate endings are a dime a dozen in the film business. But an alternate opening? Not so much. However, writer/director Joss Whedon did shoot a different beginning to his mega blockbuster, one that is darker in tone and hints at a subplot that was never fully explored. It takes place in the aftermath of the movie's final battle and explores S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill's troubled relationship with her boss, Nick Fury. It's an OK start, but I believe the one in the finished production works better and gets us right into the action. Still, as a student of film, I enjoy watching stuff like this. The clip is included on the upcoming Blu-Ray of The Avengers, which hits the streets Sept. 25. What say you, Basement Dwellers?
