Someone with a vaguely Captain America-esque costume.

He is to head to Ohio and assume a role as a senior data manager.

It’s unclear which part offends him more: Ohio, or middle management.

Rather, Alexei has his eye on alleged new intel sent by The Rook, an American sleeper agent.

Dreykov plays dumb, giving the game away immediately when he covers the file containing the intel.

If you insist on lying, you don’t have to make it so obvious.

With that, Alexei heads to the States, assuming the alter ego “Bob Toledo” on arrival.

The reason for Alexei’s intervention then becomes clear.

The two fight until the sound of police sirens scares them off and sends them running into the woods.

Bucky and Alexei Flee to Las Vegas in ‘What If…?’

but that’s more of an ongoing mandate for him than an immediate focus.

Though the other cars remain in pursuit, Morales and Foster are stuck.

Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Hulk (mark Ruffalo), Captain America (Chris Evans), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), stand heroically in the wreckage of Stark Tower, staring down at the camera in The Avengers.

Alexei and Bucky switch places, with Bucky taking over the driving while Alexei goes into Red Guardian mode.

He jumps onto Goliath’s head and throws him off balance, allowing them to escape.

Then again, it’s hard not to be cheerful with Alexei’s infectious enthusiasm for just about everything.

Bucky is recaptured by the Red Room and taken back to Russia to be reconditioned.
