Robert Redford in Talks for Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Word has it that Hollywood icon Robert Redford is "in discussions" to join the cast of Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger. Marvel, how far you've come!

If he takes the job, Redford will play "a senior leadership role in S.H.I.E.L.D." How senior, though? Isn't Sam Jackson's Nick Fury the boss of that super-spy agency? But how could Redford take orders from Jackson onscreen? That just doesn't work.

Redford coulda played Cap himself a few years back...

Anyway, this report comes from Deadline, who speculate that Redford's character would be likely to show up in other Marvel films just as Jackson has since his debut as Fury in Iron Man.

And of course, you can't help but ask the question… if Redford takes the job, could he show up for a cameo in the Marvel/ABC S.H.I.E.L.D. show that's in the works? Eh, probably not, but Marvel has been making its own rules for a while now, so it seems anything is possible at this point.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier starts shooting this spring.
