According to various set photos and reports, including from Lainey Gossip, Civil War just isn’t about Tony vs. Steve on the Superhuman Registration Act, but what to do with “missing person” Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier. Rumors are speculating that Bucky will have a bigger role in the future Marvel Cinematic Universe.

A good chunk of the Avengers are already appearing in Civil War and it’s looking that sides are taking shape. So where does Bucky lie in the Steve/Tony Venn Diagram? It’s hard to tell exactly when the production has just started, but it’s looking like Tony is hunting Bucky for his past sins and Steve is having no part in that whatsoever. Apparently, Bucky is a central figure in Civil War, and it’s unclear if the rumors are true of him possibly taking up the Captain America moniker in the film. With Tony stepping away at the end of Age of Ultron, could Steve pass his shield to a new generation?
What do you think, readers? Why do you think people are after Bucky? Do you think he’ll pick up the Captain’s shield?
