Avengers: Infinity War - 10 Secret Details Revealed Since Release

7. Steve Had Been Back To Wakanda

Inevitably, Joe Russo has been asked A LOT of questions about the movie since it came out and he's answered a fair few of them, rather gamely.

Recently, he sat down with BUILD Series who asked him why the reunion between Bucky and Steve in Wakanda wasn't more emotionally charged, given the fact that they hadn't seen each other in so long and Bucky was now cured and presumably able to remember Steve properly.

But, as Russo points out, why would it have been the first time they'd seen each other?

“We make these choices based on the story real estate that we have, and you know, it was appropriate for probably the amount of time that passed for Bucky to be healed since Civil War. Shuri’s been you know, a genius, perhaps the smartest person in the world and… she found a way to repair Bucky when no one else could for many years. So I think for us, I think clearly Steve, who has been on the run since Civil War has been keeping close contact with Shuri and T’Challa. Obviously, he’s been hiding somewhere. I think he’s made his way to Wakanda a couple of times… and that is how we directed that scene, that was not the first time that they were seeing each other since he woke up.”

Of course he'd go to visit his best friend who was undergoing a complex medical proceedure. He's not a monster.
