"Captain, to build a better world sometimes means tearing the old one down, and that makes enemies."
Redford's Alexander Pierce there, explaining the modern socio-political reality of the world Steve Rogers has woken up in.
Things aren't as black and white in modern warfare and, to quote another comic-book movie star, you can't make an omlette without breaking some eggs.
But - just to torture the metaphor for a bit - who's the omlette and who are the eggs in this scenario?
We know The Winter Soldier is Cap's main nemesis in this (we mean, duh), but who's pulling his strings? He doesn't strike us as the make-a-plan type, more of a let's-hurry-up-with-the-smashing-cars-with-my-awesome-metal-arm sort of fellow.
Could Redford be the villain? He's alluded to it in interviews, and he is giving off a majorly sinister vibe in this.
Plus, that tense handshake above? Could he be masterminding the exit of everyone's favourite eye-patch-lovin' super-spy?
2.Will Cap go rogue?
3. Will Falcon steal the show?

2.Will Cap go rogue?
Captain America started a journey in The Avengers, when he discovered that perhaps S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't as trustworthy as an operation involving a giant floating war machine captained by a man in a pirate costume should be.
Here, he continues his questioning of the status quo. In fact, pretty much every line in this trailer that isn't a gag is dedicated to Captain's doubts.
"This isn't freedom, this is fear." Expect this to be the key theme of the movie. But how far will America go in his pursuit of the American Way?
In the Civil War series of comics, Captain turned against the government. Will he go that far here?

3. Will Falcon steal the show?
Falcon is criminally underappreciated amongst comic-fans (let's face it, he's no-one's favourite) but that looks all set to change following The Winter Soldier's release.
We only get a couple of glances at Anthony Mackie's Falcon, but what glimpses - that moment when he falls backwards with two guns only to grow wings and fly into the sky; it's basically the best John Woo scene he never filmed.
We can't wait to see more.
