Captain America: The Winter Soldier<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>may have set Scarlett Johansson’s super-spy Black Widow<\/a> up as the leading lady – and there’s rumours of romance<\/a> – but fans of the comic know to look out for new character Sharon Carter, aka Agent 13.<\/p>\n

Played by Emily VanCamp from TV’s Revenge<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Sharon is a relation of khaki-clad OSS badass Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell)<\/a>, who was all set to become Steve’s wartime sweetheart in the first film.<\/p>\n

In the comics, the pair share a passionate on-off relationship, but speaking exclusively to SciFiNow in the new issue<\/a><\/strong> co-director Joe Russo says they’re taking things slow.<\/p>\n

“We introduce her as a character<\/em> in this movie, but it’s sort of a soft introduction,” says the director.<\/p>\n

“There’s definitely the budding of [a romance], but it’s something that’s more left to future storytellers.”<\/p>\n

Those future storytellers may well be Joe and Anthony Russo, who are already developing a threequel for Marvel<\/a>, although it won’t be officially greenlit until The Winter Soldier<\/strong><\/em>‘s opening weekend is in.<\/p>\n

In a deleted scene on the Avengers Assemble<\/strong><\/em> DVD and Blu-ray release, we learned that she is still alive – adding a whole new element to any future love triangle the Russo brothers want to play around with in Captain America 3<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Captain America: The Winter Soldier<\/em> is due in cinemas 4 April 2014 – read our huge behind the scenes exclusive here<\/a>. Buy the first film as triple-play DVD, Blu-ray and digital copy for £17.99<\/a> from Amazon<\/a>.co.uk.<\/strong><\/p>\n
