While the Winter Soldier was more of a MacGuffin in the first movie, it seems like the directors are looking to make him a key player in the next Captain America movie.

Speaking with MTV on Tuesday, Anthony and Joe Russo talked about Bucky Barnes and what fans could expect to see with him in the third movie.

"Is the Winter Soldier the world's most dangerous assassin that's ever lived or the world's longest serving P.O.W.? Is he responsible for his actions since he was turned into the Winter Soldier, or is he innocent by reason of insanity?" Anthony Russo asked.

"Where does this character live now? Is he ever going to be acceptable again to Cap in the way he once was, before he was the Winter Soldier? Those are the really complicated relationship questions and philosophical questions and emotional questions that intrigued us moving forward."

While it is a lot of questions, Russo added that the movie also answers them and the questions surrounding the partnership that the Winter Solider can have with Captain America and if there are ramifications from it.

"We spent a lot of time thinking about that relationship, between Cap and the Winter Soldier," Russo said. "How that processes through a filter of Cap's political associations, the specifics of that relationship, we pour it all in a shaker and mix it up."

It seems like the Winter Soldier could be joining up with Captain America but it will also cause a lot of issues within the newly formed group.

Captain America 3 is set to open in theaters on May 6, 2016.
