In April 2014, Redford appeared in the Marvel Studios superhero film "" playing Alexander Pierce, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. and leader of the Hydra cell operating the Triskelion. Redford was a co-producer and, with Emma Thompson and Nick Nolte, costar of the 2015 Broad Green Pictures film "A Walk in the Woods", based on Bill Bryson's book of the same name. Redford had optioned the film rights for the book from Bryson after reading it more than a decade earlier, with the intent of costarring in it with Paul Newman, but had shelved the project after Newman's death. The same year, he played news anchor Dan Rather in James Vanderbilt's "Truth" alongside Cate Blanchett. In 2016, he took the supporting role of Mr. Meacham in the Disney remake " Pete's Dragon".
