The newly christened Winter Soldier will return, with the revelation of his multipicture deal with Marvel Studios.

Next month’s second Captain America movie may just be the start for Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier, with the actor revealing that his contract with Marvel Studios runs for nine pictures.

Talking to Newsarama.com, Stan said that he “thinks” his deal with Marvel lasts nine films, adding that it’s “great job security,” although he said that the powers that be in the studio “don’t tell me anything. That’s just the truth. … When we wrapped [Captain America: The First Avenger], I had no idea if we’d be back.”
