Ed Brubaker: ‘WINTER SOLDIER’ is best movie Marvel’s made.

Now listen. Ed Brubaker is the skilled fucking craftsman behind the story of the upcoming Cap Guy: Winter Baddie. The writer is responsible for penning the excellent comics that shall be officially transmuted into cinematic form come this April. So may he be a little biased in his evaluation of the movie? Sure! Or you could say he may be exceptionally critical, since it is his baby that they’re adapting.

April sees the arrival of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the continuation of Steve Rogers’ exploration of the modern world. The sequel takes its title and several story cues from writer Ed Brubaker’s acclaimed run on Marvel’s Captain America comic, which reintroduced the long-deceased Bucky Barnes as a brainwashed Soviet spy known as the Winter Soldier.

Given his connection with the source material, Brubaker enjoyed some hands-on experience with the film, hanging out on set and witnessing production firsthand. Based on what he saw, the writer is happy to make a bold claim.

“It’s the best movie that Marvel has ever made,” he told IGN. “The stuff I’ve seen from it, it also has two of the best fight scenes that I’ve ever seen on film.”

“It’s going to be amazing,” he continued. “It’s gonna make a billion dollars. I got to go and be on set for a while and watch them film and stuff. It was just amazing. I couldn’t be happier with how it came out.”

Whatever the case, I was stoked before. I’m even more stoked now.
