Will Bucky Barnes Next Appearance In The MCU Be In 'Black Panther'

By Paul's Wall, writer at CREATORS.CO

After the events of Captain America: Civil War left Bucky Barnes cryogenically frozen yet again, most of us didn't get expect to see him again until Avengers: Infinity War. But could he have a role to play in next year's Black Panther movie?

To be clear, Sebastian Stan hasn't been confirmed for a role in Black Panther. And while he hasn't been added to the cast yet, Stan's comments in regard to where Bucky Barnes will show up next has me thinking an appearance in Black Panther is plausible. Here's what #SebastianStan had to say:

"I don't know, man. I mean, there's obviously a very clear answer but I'm not maybe say it, now (sic). Where did he end up at the end of the movie? That's the movie he should be in. I feel like that would be the natural... But I don't know."



There are only so many plausible scenarios for Bucky to become embroiled in the plot of Black Panther, but a few theories on how that could play out are believable and would work within the context of the #MCU.

1. Post-Credits Scene

Assuming the majority of Black Panther focuses on the in-fighting between the warring clans of Wakanda, there probably won't be enough time to depict a full character arc for Bucky to become involved in Black Panther's plot. So, the most believable way to address his presence in said film would be to tag a stinger onto the end-credits, where Bucky is awakened by Steve Rogers, #TChalla, or another member of the Secret Avengers.

2. T'Challa Wakes Bucky Up To Help With Kilmonger

Another potential scenario that could see #BuckyBarnes join Black Panther has to do with the different factions attempting to take control of Wakanda from T'Challa. Both Erik Kilmonger and M'Baku have aspirations to become king of Wakanda, so their war on T'Challa might force the new king to wake Bucky up to enlist his aid. T'Challa does have the Dora Milaje to back him up, but they still may not be enough. With there being so many characters trying to wrestle the crown from T'Challa, it seems appropriate for Bucky to come to his aid. Plus, Ulysses S. Klaue is expected to show up with his own villainous mission, making the prospect of T'Challa recruiting Bucky all the more believable, even if Bucky is still compromised by the brainwashing.

3. A Prematurely Releases Bucky Barnes To Send Him On An Assassination Mission

There's a good chance that one of the villains introduced in Black Panther will find out that the king has Bucky frozen in a Wakandan research facility. If so, they'd possibly release the #WinterSoldier to send him on another assassination mission. After all, it's reasonable to assume that if a villain found out about Bucky's presence in Wakanda, they'd also learn the reasons why he had to be placed in cryogenic storage. And don't forget, the Winter Soldier is a wanted man—with his being plastered all over the news in Civil War and blamed for the United Nations bombing that killed the former king, the citizens of Wakanda will be well aware of Bucky's capabilities.

4. A Cure To Bucky's Brainwashing Is Discovered By Black Panther's Scientists

After learning of Wakanda being home to well-accomplished scientists like Shuri, we shouldn't rule out the possibility of a cure to Bucky's brainwashing being crafted as well. Were they to dedicate enough time to studying Bucky, they'd probably figure out how to remove the programming installed in his brain.

Sounds like mostly wishful thinking on the writer's part.  I just can't see Coogler deciding what the movie really needs is T'Challa defrosting a white superhero to help him.

After-credits scene?  Plausible.  The rest?  Nah….

Exactly.

[MindofShadow]

If bucky had any sort of large role, someone wuould have xaught a glimpse of him hanging around

He didnt even start training again until bp was done or close to being done filming

[Ezyo]

Likely it would be a combination of theory 1 and 4. As that would be the most appropriate. WS doesnt need any role in the BP solo, especially not 2 or 3 of the fan theories

[KIP LEWIS]

They showed the trailer for BP before Spider-man.  My friend turned to me and said, "Just when you think they can't top it..."

And I think it comes out the weekend of my birthday!

[MindofShadow]

really???

I got a bunch of sh*t as trailers. Not even any comic book movies.

I got like some disfigured kid movie, Jumanji, Valerian, and some other garbage

not Thor, no Black Panther, no JL

It even looks better on the big screen.

[DigiCom]

I got BP, Valerian, Kingsman, Jumanji, and Pitch Perfect 3.  Bit of diminishing returns there.

[Ezyo]

Was it a teaser still?

[MindofShadow]

That is what the other garbage was... Pitch Perfect

yeah I got kingsman... excited abotu that, loved the first one.

but no BP

[KIP LEWIS]

Was it a teaser still?

Yeah

[DigiCom]

Was it a teaser still?

Same one we've seen before, yeah.  I'm expecting something at SDCC at the soonest, or maybe with THOR: RAGNAROK (which I did NOT see this time, by the way).

[MindofShadow]

i imagine D23 or SDCC will have somemore teaser clips forthe audience that the rest of us won't get til around Thor

[Mortal Man]

Watched Spider-Man earlier today.

15 minutes worth of fukkin trailers and not a damn BP teaser to be seen.

Movie was cool but i had to deduct a few points for the lack off bp teaser.  just sayin
