Since his introduction in Captain America: The First Avenger , Bucky Barnes has been a key side character in the MCU as a close friend of Steve Rogers' — and now Sam Wilson's — Captain America.
Over the last ten years of the MCU, Bucky has been a World War II soldier, Hydra's Winter Soldier assassin, and now sits as an Avenger in his own right. Now, the character is finally set to take the lead alongside The Falcon in their upcoming Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier .
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUCKY BARNES
Today marks the 104th birthday of Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier. To celebrate the occasion, Bucky's MCU actor Sebastian Stan shared a series of new behind-the-scenes looks at his time as the character over the years.
The first image shows the actor in the process of having his long hair styled for a shoot. Meanwhile, the never-before-seen videos that follow showcase Stan in action, rehearsing a fight scene with fight choreographer Aaron Toney and stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave for a scene that appears to have been for Captain America: Civil War.
Stan captioned the new shots wishing his character a happy birthday and jokingly referring to the “interesting fights. And hairstyles” he's had over the years.
Last year, Stan also celebrated Bucky Barnes' birthday with an Instagram post, sharing a video of himself blowing out the candles of a birthday cake:
