6. Bucky Using Cap's Shield Again

It's surely only a matter of time before Steve Rogers hands over the Captain America title over to either Bucky or Sam Wilson as he does in the comics. Even now, with his shield effectively retired (at least temporarily), it's hard not to imagine that Bucky will follow in Rogers' footsteps at some point.

Given how many times he's wielded Cap's shield in the trilogy so far, and how many more movies Sebastian Stan is apparently signed up for, it can only be a question of when and not if.

In The First Avenger, Bucky picked up the shield in the run up to his "death" and in The Winter Soldier he got a hero shot (even though he was technically still the villain) holding the shield before his true identity was revealed. Here, it's a step up again, with Bucky actually using the shield in battle like he's a veteran of its confusing physics.
