Bucky's Captain America Death Scene Was Meant To Have Bigger Winter Soldier Tease
Sebastian Stan reveals that Bucky's death scene in Captain America: The First Avenger was originally meant to have a bigger Winter Soldier tease. Three years after Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man became a big hit, essentially kick-starting the MCU as it exists today, Captain America got his own origin story movie as well, introducing audiences to Chris Evans' Steve Rogers and his best friend, Bucky Barnes, played by Stan. In one of the movie's more shocking moments, Barnes falls from a mountainside train, seemingly to his death.
Although it seems like Barnes is well and truly dead, the character returns in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, albeit brainwashed by Hydra and wielding a cybernetic arm. Barnes eventually regains his memories and, despite causing a rift between Tony Stark and Rogers in Captain America: Civil War, eventually becomes an Avenger and helps defeat Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The character most recently appeared in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier opposite Anthony Mackie.
