While rumors of a character dying in Captain America: The Winter Soldier have been circulating for a while, Marvel appears to have officially confirmed that someone will die in the latest installment of the film franchise.

Scarlett Johansson Teases "Different Relationships" In Winter Soldier.

Captain Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), a lead S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence officer, could quite possibly die at the hands of Bucky Barnes, a.k.a The Winter Soldier in the film.

The newest T.V. spot for the film features a telling clue that Fury dies, straight from Steve Rogers mouth, as he and his team strive to stop The Winter Soldier from even more ultimate destruction.

"Fury's last words were not to trust anyone," he says over voiceover of scenes showing The Winter Soldier attacking Fury's car and getting it to flip over, as well as one of the team watching a sheet get draped over a dead body.

If Fury dies in the movie, it wouldn't be the first time a non-Avenger S.H.I.E.L.D. agent has died in one of the films. In 2012's The Avengers, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) died at the hands of Loki (Tom Hiddleston), though the character was revealed to in fact be alive on the ABC T.V. show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The news of Fury's death could promote an even closer relationship between Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), something Johansson teased in a recent interview with Yahoo.

"They have a working relationship that develops into something more after a series of unfortunate events brings them closer together and their friendship becomes more intimate," she said.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier releases in theaters April 4.
