MUMBAI: Veteran actor Robert Redford is set to join the cast of the sequel of Captain America titled The Winter Soldier, according to reports.
 
The 75-year-old is said to be in talks to appear as an older member of S.H.I.E.L.D - possibly more senior to Samuel L Jackson‘s Nick Fury.
 
If he does appear, it will be one of only a handful of film appearances the actor has made recently.
 
Redford was last seen on screen in the 2007 Afghan war drama Lions for Lambs - although he did also direct and star in The Company You Keep that is scheduled to release in June.
 
Captain America: The Winter Soldier sees Chris Evans reprising the role of the titular superhero, with other returning cast members including Jackson, Sebastian Stan, Hayley Attwell and Toby Jones.
 
Stan‘s alter ego Bucky Barnes returns in a very different guise after being brainwashed by the Russian authorities.
 
The Winter Soldier is due for release on 4 April, 2014.
