iyrhujMarvel has released the first teaser poster for the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which is said to be more of a sequel to The Avengers itself than Iron Man 3 and the upcoming Thor: The Dark World, have been. The Marvel sequel is reportedly introducing The Falcon and Agent 13 into their Cinematic World, and features Captain America and the Black Widow teaming up to confront The Winter Soldier, aka Bucky Barnes, played by Sebastian Stan in the first Captain America film.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Emily VanCamp, Cobie Smulders, Robert Redford, Anthony Mackie, and Samuel L Jackson. It is due out on April 4th, 2014.

Today Roqoo Depot wishes one BAMF a very happy birthday. Samuel L. Jackson has played many roles: hitmen, drug dealers, cops, and Jedi. Whether it’s on the good side of the law or the bad, Samuel L. Jackson has kept us entertained. According to IMDb, he has 137 film credits which happens to exceed his costars such as Robert Downey Jr., Bruce Willis, Dustin Hoffman, and John Travolta, just to name a few. He’s played in some great movies, even well known films that we don’t even remember him being in like Goodfellas and Patriot Games. So while you’re out and about on the internet today, stop by Twitter and wish the man a kick ass mofo birthday. Just don’t mention the snakes in the cake.
