I wouldn't count on it. So far Marvel has avoided playing the "extended edition/director's cut" double-dip game with everything except the Edward Norton Incredible Hulk (which had I think 19 minutes of some huge amount of deleted footage restored). Plus Joss Whedon has said the theatrical version IS his "director's cut."

Now he did say that we might get 30 minutes + of deleted scenes on the blu-ray/DVD. Apparently a good chunk of the stuff is more "Cap in the modern world" kind of stuff which was cut both because of time constraints, but also because it made the overall movie too much "about Cap" and possibly started interfering with stuff that they might want to cover in Captain America II.

Though that almost makes me wonder if they might hold the footage back and re-tweak it to use in Captain America II as it is.
