Captain America 2 Movie Update: Marvel Is About To Tie Up Its Upcoming Film With Agents Of SHIELD TV Series – ‘The Marvel Films Are More Interwoven Than Ever,’ Says Disney Boss

Captain America 2 movie trailer leaked online, a footage shown only to the viewers who are watching Thor: The Dark World 3D made its way to the internet earlier this month. Meanwhile, Anthony "Falcon" Mackie was arrested for DWI earlier this month as well.

Marvel's upcoming flick is expected crossover with its newest superhero TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. most likely to boost viewers for both Marvel projects.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is really serious in promoting its films by connecting it with each other. In addition, MCU has interconnected its TV show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D with Thor: The Dark Underworld and word has it that it will do the same with Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier.

It is most likely that the Captain America film will crossover with the TV show since the film franchise is set to have built its story in connection with S.H.I.E.L.D, especially now that Marvel's TV show and its upcoming movie are already sharing one character, named Agent Jasper Sitwell.

Agent Jasper Sitwell has been in the comic history since 1966 and he was also featured in MCU dating back 2011. His appearances with MCU were unnoticeable for the eyes of the viewers though, not until now that is, although Captain America 2 movie trailer that was leaked online showed only major characters without Agent Sitwell in it.

The character of Agent Sitwell has seen some major exposure in an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D TV show. Rumors are also emerging about his character getting some major screen time in Captain America 2 movie.

Recently, the Diamond Select toys have released a copy of Captain America 2 movie figures to MTV News, with Agent Sitwell included in the collection, showing how his character is now being recognized by the public.

The executive vice president of theatrical distribution of Walt Disney Studies talked about the Marvel movies interconnections during a press release, saying "After Marvel's The Avengers, the Marvel films are more interwoven than ever."

Captain America 2 movie will hit theaters nationwide on April 4, 2014.
