=== 2013–present === [[File:Redford e LaBeouf - 69th Venice International Film Festival (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|Redford and [[Shia LaBeouf]] at the [[Venice Film Festival]] in 2012]] In 2013, Redford starred in ''[[All Is Lost]]'', directed by [[J.C. Chandor]], about a man lost at sea. He received acclaim for his performance in the film, in which he is its only cast member and there is almost no dialogue. Redford was nominated for a [[Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama]] and won the [[New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor]], his first time winning an acting honour from that group (he had been nominated in 1969 for ''Downhill Racer''). Ali Arikan wrote in ''[[Roger Ebert|RogerEbert.com]]'', "Chandor plays to Redford's strengths: his battered visage, calm determination, and detachment from the vagaries of a "normal" existence. In return, Redford gives the performance of the latter half of his career in a role that is not just physically, but also psychologically demanding".<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/all-is-lost-2013|title= All is Lost movie review & film summary|website= Rogerebert.com|accessdate= August 18, 2023}}</ref> In April 2014, Redford played the main antagonist of the [[Marvel Studios]] superhero film ''[[Captain America: The Winter Soldier]],'' [[Alexander Pierce]], the head of [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] and leader of the [[Hydra (Marvel Comics)|Hydra]] cell operating the Triskelion.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://news.yahoo.com/robert-redford-confirms-captain-america-winter-soldier-role-153202834.html |title=Robert Redford Confirms Captain America: The Winter Soldier Role |publisher=[[Yahoo!

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 his death.<ref name="Redford Walk In Woods">{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/a-walk-woods-director-robert-818321 |title='A Walk in the Woods' Director on Why Robert Redford Put Film on Shelf After Paul Newman's Death |last=Gajewski |first=Ryan |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date=September 2, 2015 |access-date=June 30, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170627204856/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/a-walk-woods-director-robert-818321 |archive-date=June 27, 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref> The same year, he played news anchor [[Dan Rather]] in [[James Vanderbilt]]'s ''[[Truth (2015 film)|Truth]]'' alongside [[Cate Blanchett]]. The film received mixed reviews with Justin Chang of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' noting, "Redford, who bears a solid resemblance to Rather but not quite enough to make you forget whom you're watching, plays the veteran newsman with easy gravitas, inner strength and a gentle paternal twinkle, with little display of the anger and volatility for which he was often known over the course of his storied career."<ref>{{cite web|url= https://variety.com/2015/film/festivals/truth-review-cate-blanchett-robert-redford-toronto-film-festival-1201592326/|title= Toronto Film Review: 'Truth'|website= Variety|date= September 13, 2015|accessdate= August 18, 2023}}</ref> In 2016, he took the supporting role of Mr. Meacham in the Disney remake [[Pete's Dragon (2016 film)|'' Pete's Dragon'']]. The next year, Redford starred in [[The Discovery (film)|''The Discovery'']] and ''[[Our Souls at Night]]'', both released on [[Netflix]] streaming in 2017. The latter film, which was also produced by Redford, reunited him with co-star [[Jane Fonda]] for the fourth time and garnered positive reviews.<ref>{{Citation|title=Our Souls at Night (2017)|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/our_souls_at_night|volume=Rotten Tomatoes|access-date=December 30, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171127051127/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/our_souls_at_night/|archive-date=November 27, 2017|url-status=live}},</ref> Redford played bank robber [[Forrest Tucker (criminal)|Forrest Tucker]] in the [[David Lowery (director)|David Lowery]] directed drama film ''[[The Old Man & the Gun]]'', which was released in September 2018, and for which he received a Golden Globe nomination. Alissa Wikinson wrote in ''[[Vox (magazine)|Vox]]'', "In ''The Old Man & the Gun'', both Redford and Lowery are returning to their roots. For Redford, a role as a lifelong bank robber feels like a fitting cap to a career effectively launched half a century ago with his role alongside Paul Newman in ''[[Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid]]''."<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.vox.com/2018/9/25/17887624/old-man-gun-review-robert-redford-retire-david-lowery-sissy-spacek|title= Robert Redford bids farewell to the silver screen in the pitch-perfect The Old Man & the Gun|website= Vox|date= September 25, 2018|accessdate= August 18, 2023}}</ref> In August 2018, Redford announced his retirement from acting after completion of the film,<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=http://ew.com/movies/2018/08/06/robert-redford-retiring-acting/|title=Exclusive: Robert Redford announces he's retiring from acting|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|access-date=August 6, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180807093018/http://ew.com/movies/2018/08/06/robert-redford-retiring-acting/|archive-date=August 7, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/aug/06/robert-redford-retires-the-old-man-and-the-gun|title=Robert Redford confirms retirement from acting|last=Pulver|first=Andrew|date=August 6, 2018|website=The Guardian|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180806173031/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/aug/06/robert-redford-retires-the-old-man-and-the-gun|archive-date=August 6, 2018|url-status=live|access-date=August 6, 2018}}</ref> though the following month, Redford stated that he "regretted" announcing his retirement because "you never know".<ref>{{cite web|title=Robert Redford Reveals He Never Should Have Said He Is Retiring: 'That Was a Mistake'|url=https://people.com/movies/robert-redford-admits-he-never-should-have-said-he-is-retiring-mistake/|date=September 21, 2018|access-date=April 17, 2021|website=People}}</ref> He briefly reprised his role as Alexander Pierce for a [[cameo appearance]] in ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'', filmed in 2017 prior to the completion of the former film.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sltrib.com/artsliving/2019/04/30/robert-redford-comes-out/ |title=Robert Redford comes out of retirement for a strategic cameo in (spoiler alert!)
