Captain America: Civil War - 8 Major Reveals From The New Images

2. How The Winter Soldier Factors Into Things

One of the most intriguing parts of Captain America: Civil War is no doubt the role The Winter Soldier is going to end up playing. Chris Evans says that, "the dynamic of Bucky pours gasoline on the open flame" between Steve and Tony, while Sebastian Stan makes it clear that the version of the character we'll see here is going to be very emotionally complex. "He'll never just be Bucky Barnes again. This movie, for him, is very much the good wolf and the bad wolf coming together - or maybe not coming together. So when is he triggered? When is he remembering things? He's trying to find out about himself, his past, and what sort of world he's in." It's that relationship between Steve and Bucky which is really going to change how this battle plays out, and Joe Russo adds: "He and Steve have the emotional connection of brothers - even more so because Bucky was all Steve had growing up. Bucky was his protector, and that dynamic shifted when Steve Became Captain America, and now it has shifted again. The Cap-Bucky story is a love story; he can't let go of his brother. He can reconcile Bucky's crimes, but other people have no emotional context for Bucky, and they need to point the finger. We have no idea if he's a hero or a villain. People are going to walk out arguing about that too." Interestingly, the magazine also reveals that The Winter Soldier is taken away in shackles for "psychological evaluation" while Steve meets with General Ross; could it be that Cap helps him to escape from that facility?
