The panel consisted of Chris Evans, Frank Grillo, Emily Van Camp, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Mackie, and Colbie Smulders along with directors Joe and Anthony Russo.
What we learned from the panel:
1. Steve is struggling with the modern world not in terms of technology, but in societal and moral changes. It's tougher to tell right from wrong than it was in the 1940's.
2. Black Widow is an integral part in The Winter Soldier and fights alongside Captain America and S.H.I.E.L.D.
3. The Winter Soldier (aka, Bucky Barnes) is close to the comic arc set by Ed Brubaker.
And, of course, there was a trailer. Here is the description:
It begins with a fantastic scene of Cap riding in an elevator. He’s alone, wearing his costume (no helmet) with the shield on his back. He’s lonely. The elevator stops and two men board led by Grillo’s character. Grillo’s character and Cap tersely acknowledge each other, and the elevator continue to go up. The process repeats with more men getting on at multiple stops—some are dressed as agents, others are soldiers. It’s a great visual metaphor for the sinister forces working alongside and closing in around Rogers. Captain Amerian can sense their malovelent intentions towards him and he says, “Anyone who wants can still get off.” No one moves, Cap hits the emergency stop, and the fight begins. Despite the cramped quarters and handheld cameras, it’s a thrilling fight with Cap taking on eight or nine guys. The Russos capture the action perfectly, and it’s cut together in a way that we move with the momentum of the fight rather than just trying to keep up with it.
After Captain beats up his attackers, we move on to the rest of the trailer which is a big montage. One key moment is Fury telling Rogers, “We have to deal with the world as it is; not how we’d like it to be,” and Rogers responding, “That’s not freedom. That’s fear”. We also see the return as well as the destruction of the helicarrier. We see Falcon fly and firing guns at a helicopter that’s chasing him and trying to shoot him down. There are also a lot of fisticuffs on display from Natasha, and although the action has its own flavor, we don’t see much of the gritty spy stuff. Admittedly, it’s difficult to translate that an assault of images. The closing shot is Cap’s shield embedded in the ground, and we see a bionic arm grab the top of it. We pan up to reveal our first official look at the unmasked Winter Soldier.
[UPDATE] Here is a picture of the panel
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is aiming to give audiences a better glimpse into Steve Rogers as a character and also to further develop his individual storyline. It also gives the biggest reveal of the post-Avengers world in terms of how the public is dealing with the "outing" of the superheroes and aliens.
