Bucky Barnes’ MCU Fate In Avengers: Doomsday Just Got A Seriously Grim Update

Recent developments suggest Bucky Barnes is now in greater danger in the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday. The Thunderbolts series has established a new path for Sebastian Stan’s character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, finally giving Bucky a place on his own superhero team. He was responsible for assembling the Thunderbolts, though not without hesitation, and the entire team will appear alongside the main cast of Avengers: Doomsday.

The movie Thunderbolts showed us who will become the new Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although Bucky mentioned Captain America wasn’t thrilled with the name choice. The film’s ending featured the team observing the Fantastic Four’s spaceship. Considering all this, Bucky is likely to be a key player in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie, and his storyline might even lead to his death.

Sebastian Stan’s Superhero Future Might Mean Bucky Dies In Avengers: Doomsday

Sebastian Stan is famous around the world for playing Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). He first appeared as the character in the 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger and has been part of the MCU in both movies and TV shows ever since. But it appears Stan is looking to add other superhero roles to his career as well.

Sources say Sebastian Stan is potentially joining the cast of The Batman 2. While DC Studios hasn’t confirmed the news, reports suggest he might play a prominent Batman villain, Harvey Dent (also known as Two-Face), alongside Robert Pattinson as Batman. Details about his role are currently being kept secret.

There’s speculation that if Sebastian Stan joins the cast of The Batman 2, his character, Bucky Barnes, might be killed off in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. This is based on two main ideas. First, filming for both Avengers: Secret Wars and The Batman 2 will overlap, as The Batman 2 begins production this spring and continues for several months, while Secret Wars is scheduled to film this summer. Second, taking on a significant role in the DC universe could mean Stan is following a similar path to Scarlett Johansson, who moved from Marvel to DC after completing her work as Black Widow.

Why Bucky Dying In Avengers: Doomsday Would Make Sense

Bucky Barnes has been a significant part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years, especially in the highly-regarded Captain America trilogy starring Chris Evans. Through team-up movies and the Disney+ series, we’ve seen him evolve from a hero, to a mind-controlled villain, to someone breaking free from HYDRA’s influence and finally, working through his past trauma. He’s truly been through a lot.

Bucky Barnes’ involvement with the Thunderbolts team might set the stage for his character’s conclusion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Steve Rogers returning with a family, and Bucky now finding acceptance within a team, the possibility of a heroic sacrifice looms. Sebastian Stan’s character could potentially give his life in a future Avengers film – possibly titled Doomsday – to protect Steve, his family, or his new teammates, a possibility further fueled by Stan’s recent move to work with DC Comics.
