Summary
While Sam Wilson ’s cinematic first appearance asCaptain Americaapproaches withCaptain America : Brave New World , there is still a chance for Bucky Barnes to also take the chimneypiece in theMCU.Captain America : Brave New Worldis slated to releaseon February 14 , 2025 , and will follow Wilson as he voyage his responsibilities as the newfangled Cap and holder of the iconic shield . Wilson faces a importantly expectant challengethan his predecessor , as he is distinctly devoid of the Super Soldier Serum that imbued Steve Rogers with powers that help him go toe - to - toe with some ofthe MCU ’s most powerful occupants .
With Wilson carrying the weighting of Rogers ’ conclusion , it remain to be seen how his tenure will fare in the aspect of such powerful opposer as Red Hulk and the Leader , which the serum - imbued Bucky would presumably fare much better against .
retaliator : Endgame Centennial State - starring Sebastian Stan explains why Captain America did n’t give his shield to Bucky Barnes , but to Sam Wilson instead .
A Bucky Barnes Variant Could Be Captain America In A Future Multiverse Movie
The Multiverse Saga Will End In MCU Phase 6
The Multiverse Saga has show that as long as the multiverse live , just about anything is possible . Countless universes facilitate every eventuality from the sublime to the ridiculous , and with Bucky Barnes coming so close to taking the mantle in Earth-616 , it ’s well-off to reckon thatthere are many Barnes variants who don the carapace in other universe . One such variant could come forth within the Multiverse Saga ’s terminal stretch .
Captain America : Brave New Worldwon’t be that movie , not least because Sebastian Stan is not due to reprise his theatrical role in it . bolt of lightning * , meanwhile , is also unlikely to have variate , as it presently looks set to joinCaptain America : Brave New Worldin being a distinctly terrestrial tarradiddle . Instead , multiversal jaunts withinAvengers : The Kang DynastyandAvengers : Secret Warswould be more likely to boast variants of Bucky Barnes alongside various other Marvel heroes .
avenger : Secret Warsis expected to round out the Multiverse Saga and feature many variant characters .
If The MCU Reboots, Bucky Barnes Could Become Captain America
How long Marvel mean for Sam Wilson to transport the drape is unclear , but a innate fillet point may be en route in the backwash ofAvengers : Secret Wars . rumour that Marvel has yet to quash hint that asoft reboot of the MCUmay followAvengers : Secret Warsas the multiverse is reconstituted with a newfangled bent of star topology at its middle . This could feasibly go in continuative witha more overtly virginal Bucky Barnes variant making himself love .
Either way , the MCU ’s presumed refocus on mutants will likely advertise Bucky ’s Captain America to the sideline in a rebooted MCU as the franchise aims to accommodate clean stories less reliant on the main cast of MCU Phases 1 - 6 .
This might also call for off Earth-616 ’s Sam from the picture entirely , either as a fatal accident of the cataclysmal incursion that will surely precedeAvengers : Secret Warsor as he happen himself supervene upon by a variate from another existence . Either means , the MCU ’s presumed refocus on mutants will probably advertise Bucky ’s Captain America to the sidelines in a rebooted MCU , as the dealership get to adjust invigorated stories less reliant on the chief cast of MCU Phases 1 - 6 . This may dampen the narrative impingement of the Avengers and their leader , as the MCU leans on mutant stories .
Bucky Barnes Could Become Captain America After Sam Wilson
Sam Wilson Still Needs Time To Shine
One of the benefit afforded to Bucky by the Super Soldier Serum is a much longer life than the ordinary somebody . Sam Wilson , on the other hand , has not been given the same formula and thus will senesce at a normal rate . With that in psyche , there is still mint of time for Barnes to convey the shield , whileWilson ’s MCU tenureis by all odds more ephemeral . This would also comprise a best - of - both - worlds situation in which Rogers ’ option was made safe in the knowledge that Bucky could have his turn with the buckler down the railway line .
The fact that Sebastian Stan does not share the same decelerated aging privilege as his character admittedly solve against this possibility - as does the concept of how long the MCU may itself live for . Still , if the MCU could feasibly boast a more aged Stan in the role taking more of a backseat as Modern MCU characters forge ahead with the tale . As it stands , the MCU should capitalize on a singular version ofCaptain Americaas an underdog devoid of the great power that help make Rogers so redoubtable .
