Ed Brubaker calls 'Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier' the best Marvel movie yet

Ed Brubaker is the comic writer who wrote the source material for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He has yet to see the April 4 film adaptation in its entirety but he told two separate sites that he expects it to be the best Marvel film ever.

Brubaker made this claim last year based on the script, and he continued to express that feeling to IGN and Bleeding Cool extremely recently. First, here's what he had to say to IGN:

"It's the best movie that Marvel has ever made. The stuff I've seen from it, it also has two of the best fight scenes that I've ever seen on film... It's going to be amazing. It's gonna make a billion dollars. I got to go and be on set for awhile and watch them film and stuff. It was just amazing. I couldn't be happier with how it came out. Yeah, I can't wait for the premiere. I hope to get to actually talk to Robert Redford at it -- I got to shake his hand, but I didn't get to actually talk to him. He's like an honorary Brubaker, because my whole life people have come up to me like, 'Oh, like the Robert Redford movie!'"

He spoke at great length to Bleeding Cool about the film, but here's a piece of what he said:

"I don't know how much I'm allowed to say yet, but what I will say is that with everything I've seen and the script that I've read: It's the best movie that they've ever made. I was blown away, being on the set and getting to meet Redford and watching them do this stuff. The movie isn't a scene-for-scene adaptation of the comic by any means but there is a lot of the comic in the movie. There's certain moments in the movie where I'm just, 'Sh*t, that's what I wrote.' I'm really thrilled about it, I could not be happier, honestly. It came out so good."
