"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" Meets 'Crossbones'



Certainly one of the toughest characters in Marvel Studios' "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is actor Frank Grillo as the Marvel Comics' character 'Brock Rumlow' aka 'Crossbones'.


'Rumlow', 'Brock Rumlow' slash 'Crossbones'...he is a bad ass guy," said Grillo about the character. "He pretty much beats the shit out of everyone..."


"It’s an origin film...You meet people who are going to be around for a while, so they introduce the characters. It’s almost like it’s a series. It’s fun...and it’s very political...more of a political thriller...It’s more of two sides of an idea than it is good vs evil. It’s not 'Batman' and 'Robin' vs 'The Joker'...it really is a smarter version of what a lot of these superhero movies are...."


"...when a vicious criminal known as 'Crossbones' emerges, Cap joins up with old ally 'Natasha Romanoff', aka 'Black Widow' and new ally 'Sam Wilson' in an attempt to take down the evil mastermind.


The Crossbones character was created by writer Mark Gruenwald and illustrator Kieron Dwyer, appearing in "Captain America" #359-360 (1989), as a henchman of the 'Red Skull'. In the comics, he carried out the assassination of Captain America, although 'Sharon Carter', who was under hypnosis at the time, is believed to have fired the fatal shots.


"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" opened April 4, 2014 in 2D and 3D.
