The Winter Soldier

When being cast, Sebastian Stan said that he had signed a nine-picture deal with Marvel. Civil War was just his third movie, so he will certainly reprise his role as Bucky Barnes. But when will that happen?

In the credits scene, T’Challa, having realized that he almost killed an innocent man, decided to help Bucky. And so, using the superior technology developed in Wakanda, he froze the former Winter Soldier, until such time that a cure could be found. Basically, the entire Civil War led to this – helping Bucky Barnes overcome his brainwashing.

So the safest bet is that his next appearance will be in the Black Panther solo movie, which will lead directly into the Infinity War.

There are, nonetheless, several loose ends with his story. As seen during the Civil War, he wasn’t the only Winter Soldier. And, even if the others died, who is to say that HYDRA didn’t have any other bases of operations?

So Bucky will appear in the Black Panther solo flick – but will his past haunt him once again?
