CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR - Chris Evans Talks Why Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier Means to Much to the Movie
At the end of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson (Falcon) go out to try and find Cap's old friend Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier so you should have known that there will be a big role of him in the next movie. In CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, actor Chris Evans spoke to Entertainment Weekly about why Winter Soldier is so important to the third movie in Cap's trilogy.
“Had Bucky not been brainwashed he’d be doing the same thing Cap is doing, taking orders from S.H.I.E.L.D. and fighting for the country and then realizing S.H.I.E.L.D. is corrupt. But Bucky’s a different situation. He obviously couldn’t make these choices. This is — I don’t want to give too much about the plot away but Bucky’s a big piece of the puzzle in this movie just because it gives Steve something that he really hasn’t had besides Peggy, but even Peggy is well on in her life.
“[Cap] doesn’t have any peace with his youth. He doesn’t have any peace from his life, so Bucky and whatever happens with Bucky in this movie…” Evans trails off. “That’s a big piece in terms of him kind of finding his own purpose in what he’s fighting for and how that friendship can come back to life. Not just them as soldiers, but them as friends.”
But not everybody is trying to help Bucky / Winter Soldier and it's been rumored that Tony Stark is out to find, and maybe capture, the former Hydra assassin and EW also revealed in their new issue that the Black Panther is not happy with Bucky either.
"[Black Panther has] got serious issues with Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, a.k.a. the Winter Soldier, which steers him alongside the man in the iron mask."
