Disney and Marvel Studios have begun production on the third film in the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The studios have also released the first official image for the sequel, as well as cast and story details. The film is scheduled to arrive in U.S. theaters on April 4, 2014.

Press Release: Following in the footsteps of the record-breaking Marvel Studios' release, Marvel's The Avengers, production on the highly anticipated release, Captain America: The Winter Soldier has commenced in Los Angeles, California, with production also including locations in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington D.C.
