Looks good. I'm hoping they don't drop the ball on Winter Soldier the way it was, in my opinion, dropped with Bane in Rises. I liked him up until the 3rd act reveal.
Falcon looks cool. Glad to see more African heroes being utilized, being of African decent myself. Decent halloween costumes have been difficult to come by.
Edit: First thoughts about Winter Soldier as a villain (not being terribly familiar with Cap's rogues gallery):
What if Winter Soldier wasn't Cap's long lost friend, now brainwashed but instead Cap's long lost friend that has replaced his ideals with a cold, cynical, "realism?" He "sees the world the way it really is," and is doing what must be done "for the greater good."
Not unlike Magneto's relationship to Xavier. Both believe that their way is the right way. Captain America is "freedom. choice. liberty." Winter Soldier is "rule with an iron fist."
Its kind of heard to fight for a greater good when you're essentially the tool of a bunch of Russian gangsters (which looks like the way they're going with this). That sounds like an interesting movie, but personlly, I think the idea of the Winter Soldier's exploitation mirroring how Steve feels that SHIELD is just using him as a tool would be interesting too.
As for the trailer, looks awesome. I loved the first Captain America, and I'm pretty sure this one will be great too.
As far as I know they actually have the rights to The Punisher back, but I think that awful war zone film that was released was by them (under the Marvel Knights banner). I'd love to see them have a proper attempt though!

The problem has always been the choice of actor, not the source material. The comic book Frank Castle is a very subtly layered character and so far the actors who have portrayed him only really seem to nail one aspect. Off the top of my head I can't think of an actor who'd be the right fit, but I'm sure there is one.
In regard to the new Cap America movie, I think this looks really good. Cap seems really torn between the values he holds dear and the world that he's kind of been injected into. They didn't really get a chance to explore that in the first movie because of origin story, etc.
It looks freakin' awesome. I have to admit, I liked Captain America the most out of all Marvel Avenger universe movies so far, despite him being the most boring character. And my favorite girl Scarlett is in this one.
There's a little bit of the John Walker/US Agent storyline in here it seems. Not exactly the same, but a "disenfranchised Captain America" storyline is really where Cap is at his best.

Would The Punisher really fit in the Marvel Cinematic universe as it exists now? Its very colourful and light in tone, and Punishers....the opposite of that.
I can't help but think that Chris Evans is the second best cast actor in these movies (with Robert Downey Jr as the best cast) as I can't really picture anyone else playing Cap. He really seems to have clicked with the character and I believe him as Steve Rogers even in this trailer. So, I'm more than happy to return to this series.
All in all, not much I can say. Most of it seems out of context and I'm not sure what to think of it. I'm guessing cyborg ninja is Winter Soldier. I'm hoping we see more of him than the trailer seems to imply. From what I know of him, he and Captain America are almost perfect foils (among other things), so they could be a great conflict if done right.
I'm sure I'll see this at some point. Either on DVD or in the theater. Depends on if I have some friends to go with.
Are you actually familiar with who the Winter Soldier is? And if you are, did you actually read Brubakers run on Captain America? Easily some of the best story telling Marvel's had in the last two decades.

Well, considering pretty much every other Avenger has a higher body count than him except maybe the Hulk, I'm inclined to agree. He's a tad too reflective for this universe.
Been waiting for this announcement since forever. Can't wait for Steve and Bucky to get back together or something like it, and Natasha and Sam.... oh, characters. Whedon did say this one would be most like The Avengers, so my hype is even more than what it was.
This looks like more of a spy-thriller ala James Bond than a typical action movie, which is awesome! As cool as the Iron Man movies have been and as much as I've liked all the other movies, they need to be more than just pure action.
Note: It's clearly still an action movie, but so long as they subdue the whole "super power" thing it works as more than pure action. Captain isn't even supposed to be super powered, just the peak of what a human can be.
I remembered hearing that they were going for a more spy thriller direction with Cap 2 at Comic-Con. Nice to see that tone they were going for get executed nicely by the trailer. I'm also digging the new suit, the old one was a bit to flashy and cartoony, the navy blue looks much more a kin to his bad.ass. suit in the first movie.
Really really happy to see another movie with the Cap. The First Avenger really was a pleasant surprise, so I'm keeping cautiously optimistic about this one. The trailer was slick as hell, had goosebumps when I saw Fury. Seriously, long live Sam Jackson, that man is gold.
