In the comics <strong>General Vasily Karpov<\/strong> and the crew of a Russian patrol submarine find <strong>Bucky&#8217;s<\/strong> cold-preserved body, minus one arm, revive him, give him a new bionic arm, and over time upgrade him whenever the technology improves enough to do so. Due to heavy amnesia, they basically programmed <strong>Bucky<\/strong> to be a Soviet assassin for <strong>Department X<\/strong>, under the code name the <strong>Winter Soldier.<\/strong> During his time as a Soviet agent, he also has a brief relationship with <strong>The Black Widow<\/strong> (who had no idea of his origins). While he was not on missions, he was kept young and fit thanks to constant\u00a0 cryogenic stasis, hence why he seemingly hasn&#8217;t aged much since <strong>WWII<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now the rumor that seems to have crept into quiet places of the internet like random cryptic twitter posts and hints in forums from supposed members of the production team seems to imply that not only is <strong>Bucky<\/strong> gonna come back as <strong>The Winter Soldier<\/strong> for this new film (obviously.. hence the tag line) but hes done so by order of the long time<strong> Captain America<\/strong> villain <strong>Baron Zemo<\/strong> instead of some random Russian general which would be used to help cut all ties to other comic characters (such as <strong>Wolverine<\/strong> from the <strong>X-Men<\/strong>) that the character had in the comic book run.<\/p>\n<p>With all of this news aside, it has be confirmed that <strong>Samuel L. Jackson<\/strong> would return as <strong>S.H.I.E.L.D<\/strong>. head <strong>Nick Fury<\/strong>, <strong> Anthony Mackie<\/strong> has entered negotiations to actually star as <strong>The Falcon<\/strong> as an aid to <strong>Captain America<\/strong> in this sequel. <strong>Sebastian Stan<\/strong> was also reported to be reprising his role as <strong>James &#8220;Bucky&#8221; Barnes\/The Winter Soldier<\/strong>. And now rumors are even suggest that <strong>Black Widow<\/strong> and <strong>Hawkeye<\/strong> are set to have roles in the film as well.<\/p>\n<p>Now while this new development seems to have no current backing other than those random rumors, its hard to take it as anything but a rumor. What I can say is that if this is true, this would be a very cool twist and use of <strong>Captain America&#8217;s<\/strong> villains now that they fast forwarded the character and seemingly took out the possibility of having another <strong>WWII<\/strong> era <em><strong>Captain America<\/strong> <\/em>film.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER<\/strong><\/em> is currently slated to be released April 4, 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nNow we all know the story of The Winter Soldier and the purpose of the tagline for the next Captain&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=6021\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;
