Civil War already stunned fans by introducing characters such as Black Panther and Spider-Man but it kept its most shocking moment under wraps. For viewers were stunned when it was revealed that Bucky Barnes was the one who killed Howard Stark and his wife, Maria.

Of course, it wasn’t technically Bucky’s fault: Hydra played with his mind via some book that, should any person pick it up, automatically makes them able to control an entire team of formidable assassins.

Bucky, in his Winter Soldier state, murders the Starks with the footage being caught on camera. Manipulative villain Zemo shows it to Tony with a huge three-way fight then unfolding.

It is a moment that makes for simply sensational viewing. Bucky and Iron Man go at it with Captain America caught in the middle. It then ends with Cap ditching his shield and limping off into the…wintery mountains of Moscow. Two years on and, with Infinity War coming soon, we are finally set to learn the extent of the fall-out.

Sport and Film. I love them both. And I'm extremely lucky to write about two of my biggest passions in life. Most of the time, I'm at the Daily Express newspaper writing about football, tennis and F1. But, when I'm out of there, I let my imagination run wild and pen down my thoughts on the film series' I love. WhatCulture gives me the chance to write about the movie industry - an industry I really care about. And for that, I'm extremely grateful. And hope you, if you're reading this, enjoy what I think about stuff.
