Legendary Robert Redford Cast as Head Guy of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Captain America: The Winter Solider

Legendary actor/director Robert Redford broke the news last week he was cast in Captain America: The Winter Solider, but we were left in dark on what role. Light has been bestowed upon us straight from the man himself!

In an interview he stated "“Well, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. The head of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Now, you can't get any more direct than that can you? That leaves the door open to who exactly his character will be. Can he portray an older version of Nick Fury? A new character completely? or an older version of one of Captains allies from WWII? We must know Rob!! Hopefully soon but expect it to start filming shortly.

It will be released on April 4, 2014 starring Chris Evans returning as Captain America/Steve Rodgers, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Samuel L. Jackson, and others.
