CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Director Talks About the Importance of Winter Soldier and Steve Rogers' Brotherhood


"We have no idea if he’s a hero or a villain."

This is a new quote from CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR director Joe Russo while speaking with Empire Magazine and he's referring to Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier. It sounds like Bucky will further the divide between Marvel's heroes. Russo also implies the Winter Soldier will be a hot topic of debate once the film's credits roll.  

"He and Steve have the emotional connection of brothers – even more so because Bucky was all Steve had growing up,"director Joe Russo said to Empire. "Bucky was his protector, and that dynamic shifted when Steve Became Captain America, and now it has shifted again. 
"The Cap-Bucky story is a love story; he can’t let go of his brother. He can reconcile Bucky’s crimes, but other people have no emotional context for Bucky, and they need to point the finger. We have no idea if he’s a hero or a villain. People are going to walk out arguing about that too."

Sounds like the past of the then-brainwashed Hydra assassin Winter Soldier is going to catch up with the Bucky, who is still recovering from memory loss and from being dispatched and frozen over and over again for decades. 

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR release on May 6.
