Captain America franchise star Sebastian Stan recently posted to social media hinting that he is ready to return to the Marvel Universe fold.

Ever since Avengers: Infinity War began production months ago, stars have been dropping hints about their involvement on social media. Michael Rooker even went so far as to trick fans by appearing near their shooting location in Atlanta while donning the Infinity War production beanie, which was recently revealed to be a ruse due to his character’s story in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

But Stan’s post is a little bit more ominous, with a simple caption of his superhero alter ego’s initials. Stan portrayed Bucky Barnes in all three Captain America films and his involvement in the next big Marvel Studios crossover movie seems inevitable, though production and casting details are being kept secret at this time.

Stan’s character last appeared in one of the post-credits scenes in Captain America: Civil War, where Barnes goes into stasis in Wakanda until Black Panther and Steve Rogers can figure out away to remove Hydra’s Winter Soldier programming.

UP NEXT: Avengers: Infinity War Synopsis Released

As production on Avengers: Infinity War continues, we might learn more by way of set photos taken by fans near the locationโ€”the film is currently shooting scenes in Scotland. Some people have already shown pictures and footage of Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany’s characters, Scarlet Witch and Vision respectively, going up against Thanos’ goons.

Maybe we’ll catch a glimpse of Stan and his metallic arm sometime soon.

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.

Avengers: Infinity War is described by Marvel Studios as the culmination of everything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Iron Man in 2008. The movie is filming now under directors Anthony and Joe Russo, from a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

The expansive confirmed cast includes Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Holland, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bethany, Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Pom Klementieff, and Josh Brolin as the villain Thanos.
