Thunderbolts*
Summary
Marvel ’s Thunderboltsis Marvel ’s probability to give Bucky Barnes a nip at the spotlight , something theMCUhas neglected to do in the past on the big screen . alas , there are rumors circulating thatBucky might be getting a subjugate use on the squad , complicating whether the Marvel hero will be able to be a focal figure in theupcoming MCU moving picture . Even if these rumors do reverse out to be wild , the former Winter Soldier ’s tumultuous history in the franchise may also propose that the prospect of him beat a central role inThunderboltsaren’t certain .
Bucky has been around for a while in the MCU at this point , but he has largely been a support type . WithSam Wilson leadingCaptain America : Brave New Worldand Rhodey countersink to take a major role in theArmor Warsmovie , Bucky is one of the last early MCU heroes to be the superstar of a motion-picture show . Marvel ’s Thunderboltsalso seems like the perfect type of movie for Bucky to step up in , so hopefully Marvel does n’t miss this opportunity to give him the regard he deserves .
With the MCU ’s Thunderbolts * film having now formally released , here ’s everything you take to have intercourse about the Marvel film and its story .
Bucky Has Been Used As A Plot Device Too Much
Not only has Bucky never been the central character of a Marvel movie , he sometimes can feel like more of a plot machine than a three - proportion character given the context . This is in no part a slight against Sebastian Stan , whose carrying into action has added dandy profundity to Barnes , but more a comment on the way Marvel uses Bucky in stories . In bothCaptain America : The Winter SoldierandCaptain America : Civil War , Bucky is used in the main to drive the plot , but he rarely has agency or makes meaningful choices , ordinarily because he ’s being brainwashed .
Often , it feels like Bucky is add to film inthe MCU timelineto serve as motivation for Steve Rogers . Even inCaptain America : The First Avenger , where Bucky is a number more of a fleshed out character , he pass part of the flick captured so that Steve can be motivated to go against rescript and link up the warfare to save Bucky . The Falcon and the Winter Soldierdoes a well job exploring Bucky as a individual , but this still has n’t chance in a moving-picture show , only on a Disney+ show .
Bucky Is Overdue For A Leading Role
deal of MCU characters have to hold back a while for their chance in the limelight . Black Widow did n’t even get her own moving-picture show until after she was already wipe out off . Still , it is starting to feel likeBucky ’s time as the wind in a cinema is overdue . After all , the Marvel hoagie has been around since Phase 1 , and will have been in the MCU for 14 years by the timeMarvel ’s Thunderboltscomes out . As such , it would be good to see Bucky take the lead before he leave the MCU .
Sebastian Stan does still have a few more movies in his contract , but several of those will probably end up beingAvengersmovie visual aspect . He also seems like a natural scene for futureCaptain Americaprojects . This intend that there are a limited issue of opportunities to give Sebastian Stan a extend role before his contract bridge want to be re - negociate , if he even want to stick in the MCU after a substantial land tenure in the franchise .
Thunderbolts Would Have Been The Perfect Time To Let Bucky Shine

Cast
Marvel ’s Thunderboltsseems like the ripe picture to have Bucky as the leading character . He has more experience than any of the Thunderbolts when it comes to operating with a squad of superheroes . He is also the part that audiences are the most familiar with , so establish him the focal point would be a good way to introduce the rest of the squad through his perspective . While the current promotional artwork would suggest Yelena will be taking bursting charge of the squad - as she ’s stood in the center of the cast - that does n’t mean Bucky ca n’t still recreate a major part in the story .
Captain America : Civil Wardid a good business having both Captain America and Iron Man palpate like the leads of the film . Bucky and Yelena could easy dish out a similar functionas the two best - developed grapheme on the Thunderbolts . Bucky is also arguably the most heroic phallus of the team , so it would make sense for him to sate a like function as Captain America did on the Avengers , though likely a little rougher around the edge . HopefullyMarvel ’s Thunderboltsutilizes Bucky befittingly , and does n’t reduce his character to a canonized cameo .
