A creative professional involved with the Thunderbolts project showcased sketches depicting Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, sporting a mask reminiscent of his 2014 Captain America: The Winter Soldier appearance. Notably, these designs also conceal his metallic arm, giving off a more relaxed aesthetic.
Bucky’s Winter Soldier mask returns in Thunderbolts* concept art
Artist Aleksi Briclot from Thunderbolts* shared on Instagram some concept art designs for Bucky Barnes, also known as The Winter Soldier. In the caption, he described it as, “Exploring a less formal look for Bucky, concealing his metallic arm. I’m also working on an alternative helmet design with more exposed skin.

According to Briclot, his artwork depicts Bucky’s mask revealing more skin compared to how it looked in Avengers: Winter Soldier. Interestingly, in the comic series Thunderbolts, Bucky is a representative elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
*Note: Thunderbolts is a fictional team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Trying to support the impeachment process against character Valentina Allegra de Fontaine played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, he takes Thunderbolts members into custody with the intention they’d testify during the trial. In this particular moment, Bucky is sporting a pair of sunglasses.
In addition to Thunderbolts, Briclot has been involved with several Marvel Cinematic Universe productions, including Captain Marvel in 2019, Avengers: Endgame also from 2019, Black Widow in 2021, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings released in 2021, Thor: Love and Thunder set for 2022, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever coming out in 2022, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 slated for 2023, and Loki Season 2 scheduled for 2023 as well.
Since Bucky’s revised mask didn’t appear in the final film, it’s unclear whether it would have influenced the plot at all. The mask might have served as a symbol of Bucky’s past as an assassin, potentially adding complexity to his character development within the movie.
In the comment area beneath the previously mentioned post, Briclot disclosed that he had created preliminary artwork depicting Florence Pugh’s character Yelena Belova as well as crucial animation frames for additional characters. He hinted at potentially sharing these designs in the future.
