12 Huge Questions About 2014's Biggest Movies

5. Who Dies? €“ Captain America: The Winter Soldier

The new Superbowl trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier only intensified the hype for what looks to be one of Marvel's best efforts yet. There were a lot of talking points, namely the enigma of the Winter Soldier, and the mystery of the ambiguous shot pictured above, which depicts a dead man underneath a sheet, while Black Widow tearfully looks on, along with a forlorn Cap and Maria Hill milling about in the background. As I've said in another article, it's most certainly a S.H.I.E.L.D. employee who has bit the bullet, and though we know Samuel L. Jackson gets a little more involved in the action this time, it almost certainly won't be him. The smart money is on either Robert Redford's S.H.I.E.L.D. higher-up, Falcon or perhaps Brock Rumlow before he becomes Crossbones. It was very smart to include this brief glimpse in the trailer €“ now I'm even more anxious to get to the movie, as if the test screening responses weren't encouraging enough.
