Before the release of Captain America: Civil War, Marvel fans were filled with numerous questions regarding whether Captain America would face assassination at the film’s conclusion. Many pieces of evidence suggest that such a drastic finale could indeed unfold, especially considering the comic book storyline where Captain America does meet his end. However, Chris Evans had previously hinted that he was nearing the end of his contract with Marvel and was contemplating retirement to pursue a career in directing. Ultimately, the answer provided by Marvel was that Captain America remains alive and would continue to exist for a significant amount of time, potentially passing on the mantle to his closest ally, the Winter Soldier.
Despite this, among comic fans, Winter Soldier – Bucky Barnes, is also one of the most beloved Captain America characters. This is precisely why, although he has yet to be officially bestowed with the title in a cinematic context, fans have often speculated on how he would embody the “Star-Spangled Avenger” if he were to don the mantle of “Captain America”.
Below are three concept art pieces of Winter Soldier as Captain America, created by the talented Boss Logic, showcasing a unique design that combines the essence of Captain America with a touch of Bucky Barnes’ style.
