'Captain America': 9 Secrets From 'The Winter Soldier' Set

In less than a month, Marvel Studios will offer up its latest serving of superhero goodness in the form of 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.' But this isn't your grandfather's superhero movie - indeed, it's about as far away from the World War II-set 'Captain America: The First Avenger' as one can get while still telling the story of a star-spangled super-soldier.

Find out more about Marvel's plans for the new 'Captain America' movie, based on MTV News' visit to the 'Winter Soldier' set.

As a result of that groundwork, Marvel president Kevin Feige says that now is the perfect time to revisit some old ghosts from Rogers' past, like Bucky Barnes, an old friend now operating as the brainwashed assassin called the Winter Soldier.

'Now was absolutely the right time to deal with how he can come to terms with a past that is long gone and is seemingly never coming back,' he said. 'Just as he's finding a niche for himself, his past comes back and lands like a ton of bricks in the form of the Winter Soldier.'

'We always wanted, as you've seen in 'Iron Man 3' now, for Tony to go back to his world in Malibu and Stark Industries, for Thor to go back to Asgard. We weren't going to send Cap back in time,' said Feige. 'He had nowhere else to go, and that's part of his story. That's part of how we meet him at the beginning of the movie. And it just made sense that he was the one that stayed with what remains of the Avengers at the end of the film.'

'This takes place a year after 'The Avengers,' so we've progressed his fighting style; it's very modern,' said Joe Russo. 'We wanted to ground it in this concept of a present day soldier. If he were the greatest black ops soldier in the world, he would be trained like the greatest black ops soldier in the world. He would know how to deal with people and how to disarm them in a very compressed area.'

'It plays into the concept of stealth and real world application of him as a special operative,' said Joe Russo. 'When you have to go out into a night scenario and take out a bunch of bad guys, you can't really do it, glowing in the dark with a target on your chest, you know? For us, we wanted the mentality where we grounded things as much as we could. And there's a thematic relevancy, a track through the movie, that has to do with that outfit and similar outfits in the movie and what that means to where the character is, where his psychology is at certain points in the movie.'

'We make a lot of superhero movies here at Marvel and I believe the key is to make them all different and to make them all unique and make them all stand apart while connecting together,' said Feige. 'And that's what the comics do. You can find Captain America stories that are as two-dimensional as red, white and blue, as you would think from the costume. And then you've got great stories in the '70s and '80s. And then you have the amazing Ed Brubaker run which is a hundred percent in the Marvel Universe, but with this notion of conspiracy and 'authority isn't what it seems to be,' coinciding with Cap's return in the early '60s. That's interesting stuff to me.'

'You have characters like me, like Frank Grillo and Robert Redford's characters, that we as normal people can relate to,' said Mackie. 'A lot of the superhero movies that Marvel does not do, it's hard to get into, because it's just a bunch of superheroes running around doing superhero sh--. But I feel like with this movie, you can look at certain characters and identify with those characters. It pulls you into the movie. The way it's written is just a very grounded, kind of realistic story - even if it's just a dude in a blue suit ruining around with a shield!'

'[Sam] is really a military, tactical-driven force,' said Mackie. 'He works with Cap now, not so much out of self-preservation, but out of respect and honor. They're both military guys and they share a common bond within the military. He's a standup guy that can fight, really.'

'He's a very smart guy,' said Mackie. 'He's someone who understands rigging, camera work, directing, as well as acting. I had never seen that side of him before. He's just a really smart and intelligent guy and he knows how to talk about film in depth. It's cool when you see your friend and he's good at something and you didn't know that so it's been fun to watch him in his element, and to see him transform and work to make this character come to life in a different way.'

'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' arrives on April 4.

'I was just in a meeting with those guys, to hear the overall picture and to hear their ideas of how they'll deal with the events of 'Winter Soldier,'' he said. But it's not just the small-screen Marvel Universe that will be impacted by 'The Winter Soldier.'

'The ramifications at the end of this film go directly to 'Avengers 2,' much more so than the other films,' he teased.
