Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a political thriller says producer Kevin Feige
"If it is a fad, it's one that lasts 30 to 40 years, as the Western did, because each one is so different. There's an opportunity to graft almost sub-genres onto them. Our first Captain America film was a World War II picture, and the next is a political thriller. They all have their own textures and patinas, and that's what is exciting about it."
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is based on Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting's 2005 story arc that is set in present day and features the return of Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, who is transformed in to the villainous Winter Soldier. Anthony Mackie also stars as Falcon, with Frank Grillo portraying Crossbones. Marvel's The Avengers stars Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, and Cobie Smulders are also reprising their roles as Nick Fury, The Black Widow, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes to theaters April 4th, 2014 and stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Robert Redford, Frank Grillo. The film is directed by Anthony Russo, Joe Russo.

I hope they don't use the costume he wore on the avengers, that was awful compared to the one he wore on the captain America movie, which was so much better.

Cool take on it. Cap is one of the heroes that fits more in the "real world" so a political thriller take on the genre is something of a good idea. (Much like Iron Man 3 has sort of been described as a tech-thriller).
I wonder if they are going to go more into the shadowy organization behind SHIELD that was revealed in The Avengers, and explore the government in this universe.

Loathe as I am to admit it, the comparison to Westerns isn't a terrible one.
