21 Incredibly Obscure Marvel Movie Easter Eggs

The first two Captain America movies feature significant imagery which appears to nod to Bucky's future, at least in the comics, where he takes up the Cap mantle himself after Steve Rogers' death.

Shortly before he "dies" at the end of The First Avenger, Bucky is shown using Cap's shield to protect himself, and similarly makes use of it while battling Cap in The Winter Soldier.

Though it remains to be seen whether or not Cap will survive Infinity War, it's still in the very least a clever way to appreciate Bucky's eventual path in the source material, if not also a great piece of potential visual foreshadowing in terms of the MCU.
