With the exception of seeing the villain with his mask on, we're pretty well covered in the Captain America: The First Avenger image department. With the trailer set to premiere this Sunday, we've already gotten a look at Cap in full uniform, Peggy Carter, Johann Schmidt (before Red Skull-ifying), and even some fancy HYDRA agents. One character we've yet to see, however, has been Cap's loyal sidekick, Bucky Barnes. That changes...now.

French blog Les Toiles Heroiques (via Coming Soon) has posted three new images from Joe Johnston's Marvel blockbuster that they scanned from the French edition of Premiere. Two of the photos simply show more HYDRA agents and Johann Schmidt, but the best one has Bucky, played by Sebastian Stan, ready to fire off some rounds from a sniper rifle. Also interesting, the article that the images ran with says that Chris Evans isn't contracted to nine films like previously thought, but rather six. While obviously much smaller, that's still a considerable number of movies for one character.

Head over to Les Toiles Heroiques for the rest.
