![]() While comic book Bucky has always been strongly tied to Captain America and Black Widow, White Wolf is strictly a Black Panther character. Instead, it could go to Falcon, or a yet-to-be-introduced character in the MCU, such as U.S. Though Marvel may introduce us to a new Captain America in Phase 4, fans shouldn't count on Bucky being the one to pick up the shield. Winter Soldier took the title in the 2000s after Steve's death in the Civil War event. Agent was appointed by the government to be the new Captain America for a short time in the 1980s. While frozen in suspended animation, Cap had three replacements. In the comics, the world is rarely without a Captain America.

With Infinity War expected to serve as the " final chapter" for some MCU heroes, many fans have speculated that Steve Rogers will be among the characters to die. ![]() If the events of Infinity War inspire Bucky to stay in Wakanda, it could debunk a popular fan theory that Bucky will follow in the footsteps of his comic book counterpart and succeed Steve Rogers as the next Captain America. Depending on what happens in the movie, Black Panther could appoint White Wolf as the leader of the Hatut Zeraze, just as his father did in the comic books. Since Bucky isn't welcome in the United States, his best bet would be to remain in Wakanda - the place that took him in, cured him of HYDRA's poisonous influence, and restored his arm. Though T'Challa wouldn't want to hire Bucky as an assassin, he could always use a good soldier. By helping out against Thanos' army, Bucky has a chance of further endearing himself to Panther's people, and at the end of the film T'Challa may discover that he could find a use for Bucky's skills. It's likely that during the film Bucky will develop a sense of camaraderie with Black Panther, Okoye, and the other Wakandans. Bucky will also get a new look and a new metal arm to replace the one that was destroyed by Iron Man in Civil War. We know from the trailer that Bucky will be charging alongside Black Widow, Captain America, the Hulk, Okoye, Black Panther, War Machine, Falcon and the Wakandans as they face off against Thanos' army. The former assassin will also be in over his head fighting aliens for the first time. ![]() If Bucky does fully embrace the White Wolf moniker in the Thunderbolts or Black Panther 3, it will be great to see him don the white vibranium suit from the Marvel comics and fight alongside, instead of against, the Black Panther.Thanks to Shuri, Bucky will be " rebooted" for Avengers: Infinity War and ready for action. Our guess is the powers that be didn’t keep Bucky around all this time just to destroy his character arc by turning him to the dark side so soon after his redemption story. He is, after all, a highly skilled soldier and one of the deadliest assassins in Marvel history. But then again, if he is working for Sam Wilson’s Captain America for information on the Thunderbolts, his friendship with the African nation could prove vital in whatever storyline they have planned. Since both Bucky and Zemo will star in Thunderbolts, he could wind up on Wakanda’s growing list of enemies if he breaks him out of prison again. Looking ahead to the next Black Panther film, it would make sense for Bucky to play a part in the next film, considering the Dora Milaje named Ayo (Florence Kasumba) warned him not to show his face in Wakanda again after he helped Baron Zemo ( Daniel Brühl) escape from prison during The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to help him and Sam on their mission.
