Captain America: Civil War - 13 Big Questions From Super Bowl Spot

13. What Is Happening To Bucky?

The trailer opens up with a shot of Bucky, and it's not looking all that great for him to be honest. He's hooked up to some sort of device, with a mask over his face and wires all over the place, looking a bit like Doc Ock has been captured by Boba Fett and is being readied for carbon freezing. Understandably, Bucky doesn't look all that happy to be there, given he's already been subject to more than his fair share of torture, experiments, and brainwashing. Is that what's going on here? We know that Bucky will get his memories back at some point, so is that the purpose of this scene, or is it someone once more trying to use him as a weapon? Based on the next scene, it looks more like the latter, though that means the question of just how he does get his memories back is still up in the air.
