Here’s a rumor I definitely hope is true, as Winter Soldier is quickly becoming the Marvel movie I’m looking forward to most prior to Avengers 2. Already confirmed in the movie is Falcon, Black Widow, and of course Winter Soldier and now long-time Cap foe Crossbones may be showing up. It’ll make sense if he does, as Crossbones does have a connection to the Winter Soldier story in the comics and it’ll also be a good way to reference Red Skull in the movie. This rumor comes from some tweets, and Comic Book Movie has collected all of them:
Once again, just wanted to tell you and I’ll be talking about it all week… Frank Grillo has tested for Crossbone in the new Marvel movies

@brianmbendis Have it on reliable authority that Frank Grillo is THIS CLOSE to getting the role of Crossbones in the Marvel movies

Following those Tweets, Grillo himself confirmed he was at Marvel, although he has since deleted the Tweets.
