12 Best Comic Book Movie Trailers Ever

10. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Trailer #1)

I really didn't like Captain America: The First Avenger. The story didn't work for me, it was a bit too 'MURICA!', and Cap seemed like a bland hero. He was much better in The Avengers, but still, that was as part of a team with some really fun heroes - could there be a great solo instalment?

This trailer for The Winter Soldier started to answer that question, turning it from a follow-up to a poor first movie into an absolute must see. It set it up as a political thriller (complete with Robert Redford) with a superhero dressing, teases the downfall of S.H.I.E.L.D., and introduces us to the titular Winter Soldier, who immediately looks like a cool and credible threat, topped off with that final sting of him catching Cap's shield.
