Captain America 2: 'The Winter Soldier' Plot Details Revealed

The team surrounding Captain America 2 ( aka Captain America: The Winter Soldier) has been ridiculously tight-lipped about the film. Plot details for what is, arguably, the weakest of the Avenger tie-in franchises have been slow coming. But I have good news! We finally have some semblance of what the sequel will be about thanks to a handy dandy press release.

Check it out below:

"After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, DC and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy - the Winter Soldier." 

Did you get chills? I got chills. 

It'll be interesting to see where Robert Redford's Alexander Pierce (who he has admitted is a "villain") fits into this storyline.

What do you think of the plot outlined for Captain America: The Winter Soldier by this release?
