Bucky Barnes

If promotional material for Captain America: Civil War is anything to go by, Bucky Barnes, aka the man formerly known as the Winter Soldier, could be very important when it comes to the titular battle in the movie – and he could be the man to end it.

He has featured extensively in trailers and concept art, and he looks prepared to do whatever it takes to win the battle – whether for himself or his team as a whole (he is, of course, on Captain America’s side).

He clearly attempted to shoot Tony Stark in the head in one scene in a trailer for the movie and is set to feature prominently as a fugitive from the government – and as a man on whom the likes of Iron Man and Black Panther specifically want to gain revenge for the deaths of their respective parents. With that in mind, he could be a key figure in the battle’s climax.

On to a highly-anticipated newcomer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
