After a not inconsiderable hiatus from screens , Captain America : Brave New Worldprovides an interesting flavor at what ’s been happening in Bucky Barnes ' life story since audience last saw him . This is a welcome addition to the film , given otherwise the last time hearing got any literal update about him was either 2021’sThe Falcon & The Winter Soldier , or theGuardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Specialsuggesting Rocket stole Bucky ’s mechanical arm as a giving to Nebula .
Bucky’s Current MCU Arc Makes His Thunderbolts* Story Seem Way More Tragic
Bucky running for Congress makes a wad of sense for the character following his electric arc thus far , as he aims to make life better for those around him through non - violent means and further balance the scales from his sentence as the Winter Soldier that he ’s still demonstrate to find guiltiness for . Based on Bucky ’s cameo inBrave New World , it seems this avenue is working out for him , and he look to have taken to the political sphere well given his jokes with Sam about how to make a speech arrive at just right to its destine audience .
However , previews forThunderboltsshow Bucky once again break back into the skillset he had honed during his meter as the brainwashed Winter Soldier . TheThunderboltstrailershows Bucky shoot several guns , headbutting an opponent , and seemingly abduct the other members of the Thunderbolts to sell them on teaming up to face up what seems to be the Void , which is a pretty drastically different tone to his appearance inCaptain America : Brave New Worldand his lecture of fundraiser and using his word and wits versus any more physical showdown .
Thunderbolts*is set up to secrete on 2 May 2025 , three months afterCaptain America : Brave New World .

Though he appears in Congress towards the start of the trailer , it currently does n’t seem likely that Bucky can maintain being both a congressional representative and an fighting superhero or vigilante , meaning he may find himself forcibly pull into the superhero sphere once more . While there have been material - life event of some somebody serve up in the US taciturnity forces and Congress , the MCU ’s depiction of the government ’s stance on superheroes does n’t coordinate with them allow someone to do both , especially after the Sokovia Accords storyline highlighted the concerns the American government had with even non - powered heroes .
This evoke either that this career track may fall through for the part , or that Barnes may find himself forced to give his position in rules of order to defend the same mass he sought to help as a congressman from a new deadly terror . Even in a best - cause scenario where Bucky was allowed to keep being a part of Congress , he ’s at a natural disadvantage to those around him , since his time and antecedency ca n’t be as focalise on this alone , which seems genuine shame give how at informality and glad Bucky appear to be inBrave New World .
The Multiverse Saga’s Final Movies Suggest Bucky’s Story Is Only Going To Get More Intense
While realise Bucky go into politics and essentially retire peacefully from being a grinder but still judge to make the human beings a better place would arguably be a suitable happy ending for him , that does n’t come along to ordinate with the MCU ’s current plans for the time to come . Whatever happens inThunderbolts*already puts Bucky back in harm ’s way of life , and it stick out to cause thatAvengers : DoomsdayandAvengers : Secret Warswill also bring in him back into the disturbance , as may other conflicts between these two releases .
As one of the MCU heroes that ’s been in the franchise the foresightful , it makes sense to have Bucky return for the Avengers movies , especially since he ’s one of Sam Wilson ’s stuffy ally , and Captain America is set up as the role to reassemble the Avengers themselvesfollowing theending ofCaptain America : Brave New World . This also stands to reason since at leastAvengers : Secret Warswill deal with the destiny of the multiverse , which it would seem outright bizarre for Bucky to not be commit in when he ’s willing to fuddle down to protect seemingly New York alone inThunderbolts * .
With all of this in mind , whileCaptain America : Brave New World ’s look at Bucky ’s current life is a promising one , it ’s also one that makes the future tense seem all the more fraught , since the fibre seems about to swap out the path he has chosen for once again putting his life history on the line - and it does n’t take care like he ’ll be able-bodied to take his life off the line for at least the next few year or so . While this is great news to some grade for Bucky rooter who desire to see more of the character on - concealment , it certainly does n’t give the character a interruption .
