Civil War â€“ What We Know after the Second Trailer

The Winter Soldier

According to the directors, Captain America: Civil War is not an Avengers movie because of Bucky Barnes. He is at the center of the (emotional) conflict and he may be the one to take the shield after Steveâ€™s death (if that happens â€“ but more on that later).

So what can be said after two trailers? It is all pretty weird, especially after this last one. What in the world is he doing back in the cryo chamber? And what is that blue light on his chest? Was he again brainwashed by HYDRA? It sure appears so, especially since he fights Steve Rogers, as well as Agent 13. We wonâ€™t even mention the fact that he shot point-blank at Tony Stark (yeah, they are on different sides of the barricades, but still!).

And since we mentioned that chamber (which seems to be in Russia, hence on the Asian side of the Civil War), there is another scene in which the Winter Soldier is involved, together with Captain America and Iron Man. It is that scene when Tony kicks Steve in his perfect teeth.

If you look closely, you can see that in the background there is some sort of containment cell, with someone strapped to a chair. And if it is indeed a scene in a HYDRA laboratory, that person sitting in the chair has had his or her mind erased. So who could that be?!?

We believe that it is a woman sittingÂ there. And if that is Agent 13, this gives Captain America more reasons to be there, while it also explains why Bucky fought her. But if it is her, this doesnâ€™t explain why Tony is there and why he is trying to prevent the two from freeing her.

Does this mean that Tony Stark tries to use the same brainwashing technology to bring enemies over to his side? It sure appears so.

There is another possibility â€“ what if Scarlet Witch indeed shot War Machine down, and she is now in the chamber? Tony has all the more reason to brainwash her, while Steve and Bucky try to keep her on their side (since, well, she is the strongest on the team).

Lastly, there is one more thing to be said about the Winter Soldier. We donâ€™t know how his confrontation with Black Panther will end. But we do know that he will lose badly against Iron Man, even if Captain America is on his side.
