The legendary Thor may be just weeks from returning to theaters, but this afternoon there is another Marvel hero gobbling up space on blogs and newspapers worldwide.

Following a poster reveal on Tuesday, Marvel Studio has released the full trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The film, which is one of multiple comic-inspired epics Marvel will release in 2014, finds Chris Evans reprising his role as the World War II hero that miraculously made it to the modern age (and along the way joined The Avengers). You can view the trailer below.

Picking up after the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy—the Winter Soldier.

The trailer below offers plenty of eye candy without giving away too much plot. From what we’re shown, it looks like The Winter Soldier will be far more grounded than the other Marvel epics as of late. There is a lot of hand-to-hand combat, and even though a giant craft is teased as its crashing into a body of water, the abundance of CGI is relatively light for a feature such as this (so far, anyway). Do you agree? Comment below and let us know your thoughts.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens April 4. In addition to Chris Evans, the film also features appearances from Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grillo, Emily VanCamp, Hayley Atwell, Robert Redford and Samuel L. Jackson.
