Well, nice to see the press release didn’t spoiler anything about the Winter Soldier for the non comic book fans.
Batroc the leaper and Crossbones. Looks like we might get some sweet battles
I enjoyed the “Winter Solider/Bucky Cap” storyline a lot. Seeing it in a movie and having Cap and the Widow together should be just a little bit of awesome, baby.
Batroc? Bahahaha I hope he has that sweet mustache and horrible accent
Im down lets go
Batroc WILL have the accent (watch a GSP interview) and even if he has a ridiculous mustache, I bet the Captain will be Surprise-Superman-Punched at least one time.
GSP is a beast and if you take him out of the octagon he can do all the wicked martial arts moves the stunt people can imagine. We will get at least one EPIC fight scene , thats for sure!
Batroc the Leaper! LOL! I do worry, reading the cast of characters, that they are pulling another Spiderman 3 – and including so many characters and storylines that they won’t be able to do any of them justice.
