CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Plot Round-Up: What We Know So Far

Some of the following Captain America: The Winter Soldier informational bullet points may be SPOILERIFIC to those who have not been following the filming of the sequel. Especially since what is being listed are facts (with a tiny bit of speculation and conjecture attached) seen on location, reported from sets and/or interviews with actors. Read on if you dare... you've been warned.

–Marvel Studios has labeled the sequel a "political thriller."

–The setting of the movie is Washington D.C.

–Heroes include: Cap, Black Widow, Falcon, Nick Fury, Maria Hill (though it remains to be seen which side Hill is on), Alexander Pierce (kind of) and Agent 13.

–Villains include: Winter Soldier, Crossbones, Batroc, Alexander Pierce (he's playing both sides) and Arnim Zola.

–Robert Redford is a senior officer in S.H.I.E.L.D. but doesn't appear to be who he really is. Redford let it slip in a recent interview that he is a villain in this film.

–Cap'n is trying to assimilate himself back into modern society and works closely with S.H.I.E.L.D. because he has no where else to go after being found and thawed out and then fighting in the Battle of New York. Working with S.H.I.E.L.D. is pretty much his modern day job now.

–Per some leaked script pages, Steve Rogers meets—and we are introduced to—Sam Wilson a.k.a. the Falcon. Wilson seems to have similarly lost his place in society since coming back from his tour of duty with the military.

–Captain America and the Black Widow are working together and she doesn't seem to like S.H.I.E.L.D. in one scene, as she was seen kicking Agent Sitwell.
