MANILA, Philippines – It’s confirmed: Marvel character Crossbones in the movie “Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier” will be played by actor/director Frank Grillo.
This is according to a post in the blog Geek Tyrant published at 8 am Manila time on October 30.
Grillo last appeared in the movie “The Grey” with Liam Neeson and Dermot Mulroney in January 2012. Before that, he appeared in the sports drama “The Warrior” in September 2011.
Another rumor that was just confirmed is that actress Cobie Smulders (of “How I Met Your Mother” fame) will be back in the film as Maria Hill.
Geek Tyrant says the second film in the Captain America franchise will be a “political thriller” and that S.H.I.E.L.D. will play a big part in the movie.
