Captain
America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
1. The Winter Soldier (Bucky Barnes) is able to match Captain
America (Steve Rogers) move by move, even to the point of catching Rogers' shield. This foreshadows Barnes taking over as Captain
America (which happened in the comics).
2. Jasper Sitwell mentions some
high-risk targets that HYDRA is keeping tabs on. Among these are Bruce Banner (The Hulk), Dr. Stephen Strange, and "a man in Cairo". The latter is most likely Marc Spector/Moon Knight, an Avengers team member who hasn't made it into the movies yet.
3. UFC Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre plays a French mercenary in the film. For the filmmakers, landing the
popular MMA fighter for the role was a stroke of luck and good timing but is was equally a stroke of luck for Georges St-Pierre who was excited to get his first chance at being in a big action movie.
4. Sebastian
Stan is contracted for nine films but according to him, when production for this film began he was not told of anything of which films he will be incorporated.
Stan only realized he was playing the title role of Winter Soldier when the title was formally revealed in San Diego Comic
Con 2013.
5. Aaron
Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen appear as Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch in an extra scene during the end credits, which sets the stage for Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).
