In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) wore a full mask that covered his face, adding to the mystery and menace surrounding him.
Marvel Studios artist Ryan Meinerding has now posted concept art for different versions of Winter Soldier's mask on Instagram, which hew fairly close to the final design. "Winter soldier mask designs from Captain America: The Winter Soldier!" Meinerding wrote in the caption. The first image showcases a mask covering the bottom half of Bucky's face, including his neck area, while his eyes are smeared with war paint. The other image features his trademark goggles, which had a cross styled strap to keep them firmly in place.

Though Stan first appeared at Bucky in Captain America: The First Avenger, The Winter Soldier brought him into the MCU's modern era. Following The Winter Soldier, Stan appeared in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, working hard to become his own man and overcome years of HYDRA conditioning.
Directed by Kari Skogland, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier stars Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Emily VanCamp, Wyatt Russell, Noah Mills, Carl Lumbly and Daniel Brühl. The series is scheduled to arrive on Disney+ in August.
