As Marvel followers are gearing up for Avengers: Doomsday, they’ve a laundry checklist of questions that they’re greater than able to see answered within the film. Amongst these are actually questions on which characters can be making shock appearances (the most recent picture of the Latverian witches has raised suspicions about numerous characters, together with, unsurprisingly, the doable return of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch) and what rationalization can be given for Physician Doom bearing a putting resemblance to Tony Stark, regardless of the Russo brothers constantly suggesting that the connection isn’t what followers predict. That’s, essentially the most outstanding principle continues to be that Doom is a Tony Stark variant, however there have now been a number of feedback on the contrary. Nevertheless, maybe the most important query of all is who’s going to die within the film, as Doomsday is sort of actually going to assert some key characters’ lives.
There are considerations about a number of completely different characters, from Loki, which solely really grew to become a fear after some current feedback from Tom Hiddleston, to Steve Rogers, particularly as a result of the Russos have now confirmed that he prompted Doomsday by staying prior to now on the finish of Avengers: Endgame. But, of the characters who appear prone to be on the chopping block, Sebastian Stan’s beloved character Bucky Barnes is, sadly, very excessive on that checklist. For months, in truth, followers have been more and more involved about Bucky’s doable destiny within the movie. Whereas that can stay a secret till this December, Stan did simply give an interview that reveals he needs to see Bucky’s story proceed past Doomsday, maybe hinting that Bucky will stay in spite of everything—however certainly one of his concepts particularly is however going to show very controversial.
Sebastian Stan Has a Shocking Function in Thoughts for Bucky

Talking with Josh Horowitz on the Completely satisfied, Unhappy, Confused present, Stan addressed different areas of Bucky’s story that he want to discover, and two concepts particularly got here up. First, Horowitz and Stan mentioned Stan’s curiosity in a venture that explores Bucky’s “misplaced years” (which means the years he was brainwashed by Hydra), which is one thing that Stan has talked about earlier than. About that concept, Stan stated, “I at all times deliver it up.” Rapidly following that remark was Stan’s far more stunning second thought, although, and that’s the potential of Bucky turning into Captain America. “Even the Captain America factor, I deliver it up. I’m like, no matter. Sorry, Anthony [Mackie]. I’m like no matter, let’s go,” Stan stated.
He continued, “I’m simply saying. I’m prepared, man. And I’m simply saying, however I’m at that candy spot, the place I can nonetheless do a few of it…You begin to suppose, you go, okay, it’s actually extra by way of simply the motion bits that you just wish to do, however it’s onerous as a result of I used to be there for, like, in my humble opinion, , I liked the movies that I used to be in. I imply, Winter Soldier, Civil Battle, Infinity Battle, and Endgame. It was an unbelievable time. So, I’m so biased I assume, or I’m so protecting of it, in a method. And I do really feel just like the evolution of the character was proper. I don’t suppose it ought to have gone otherwise than it did. I by no means have any thought about what it’s that they wish to do, however I nonetheless really feel that there’s one thing about this character that hasn’t completely but been accomplished, and I believe they comprehend it.”
Stan didn’t make clear who “they” referred to, though he appears to have meant Marvel/Disney. He additionally joked, “Perhaps we’ve accomplished it on this one,” which means Doomsday, however he did snicker afterwards. Both method, it’s fascinating that the concept that positively bought essentially the most air time between the 2, a minimum of by way of this interview, is the one about Bucky turning into Captain America. That might undoubtedly be extremely controversial. For one, as Stan talked about together with his reference to Mackie, Sam Wilson is meant to be the brand new Captain America, but the fanbase hasn’t at all times handled him as such. That alone would trigger tensions, undoubtedly, however Bucky would additionally characterize technically the third Cap post-Steve Rogers, as John Walker additionally had a run on the title beforehand.
Even so, each Stan and Bucky have large help inside the MCU fanbase, and there are doubtless those that would help this, controversy and all. If it means Bucky survives Doomsday, too, then it could doubtless solely get that rather more help. Whether or not Marvel would truly do that’s one other query; it appears almost certainly that they wouldn’t wish to undermine Mackie’s time as Cap.
