Marvel has released two new videos in support of Captain America: The Winter Soldier – a look behind the mythology of the film’s villain, and a quick look at the Black Widow in action. Skip the mythology featurette if you’re a fan of the Marvel Universe movies but haven’t read the comics – there’s a huge (and I am underselling this) spoiler revealed. The Widow clip is just good, clean violent fun. Check them out after the jump.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens April 4th.
