So I think throughout the film Cap should be having flashbacks to growing up in Brooklyn with Bucky, kind of showing how his past is still haunting him, like maybe having him have recurring nightmares about the incident in which Bucky "died" and he was submerged in ice. Then when Heinrich Zemo is accidentally killed, in his last words Zemo can call him a murderer, mocking him and how high up he always acts, so then Cap says Hydra had no problem killing Bucky, and then Zemo just laughs and tells him that there's so much he doesn't know, then, of course, he dies. This would be a good way to set up Winter Soldier while expanding on Cap's arc from the Avengers where hes trying to find out what happened all these years not just in the world but with Hydra as well, and the fallout from WWII. Then, if you end up doing a third one and have it be about Winter Soldier, a good way to symbolize the end of this character arc would be, at the end, to have Bucky break free from his brainwashing (though maybe he's still not all there, but at least he can think for himself) and having him and Bucky destroy the last of Hydra, with the destruction of Hydra for good symbolizing how Cap has "gotten over the past" for lack of a better term, and maybe a good way to tie into the past thing would be for Red Skull to come back and be the villain if that third film? Sorry for the tangent, but there's just a lot of narrative potential for Cap and it would be a shame if we let that go to waste.
