Thunderbolts*
I love thatMarvelStudios is finally giving Bucky the attention he deserves after ascertain the latestThunderbolts*poster . Despite being a mainstay of the MCU sinceCaptain America : The First Avengerwas released in 2011,Bucky Barnes ' MCU appearanceshave somehow made him find like a side character . Eventhe two acclaimed MCU productionsin which Bucky most prominently appear , Captain America : The Winter SoldierandThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier , were n’t sufficient infully exploring Bucky ’s story- at least , not to the same extent as the Avengers he joined up with .
In both his star part , Bucky was technically dally 2d fiddle to his Centennial State - stars , both Captains America , first as an antagonist , and then as a supporter of Sam Wilson ’s journey . 2025 will now dally host to Sam Wilson ’s first solo movie , while Bucky will star inThunderboltsalongside a who’s - who of downtrodden and sidelined antiheroes and reformed villains . While I realize that this imply Bucky will once again be sharing the spotlight , a clapper - in - cheek notice unfreeze forThunderboltsmakes me confident that he ’ll now get the full attention he deserve .
The New Thunderbolts* Movie Poster Promises More Bucky
The Poster Emulates The Style Of A Box Of Cereal
This year ’s Super Bowl host a new , more action - pack trailer forThunderbolts * . Alongside the picture , which featured the first look at what appear to be The Void , came a new posting . In the prevue , Red Guardian envisages the newly formed squad on a box of Wheaties Cereal , a firebrand sleep together for sport renowned athletes on its typical orange box . To bind into this , Marvel Studiosreleased the poster post to X below which evoke Red Guardian ’s pipe dream , stylizing the Thunderbolts as if featured on a boxwood of Wheaties .
The view in which Red Guardian fantasise about being on a cereal boxwood seems to precede the moment in which Bucky set on their vehicle .
The poster lists the " ingredients"as the Thunderbolts members(including Bob ) , and feature the May 2 release escort at the bottom . What strike me , however , is the announcement to the bottom right wing that reads " Now with more Bucky ! " , evoking a commonly used figure of speech on cereal boxes to herald ( typically levelheaded ) add-on to the original recipe . base on this , it look like Marvel Studios is anticipate more of Bucky than ever before , which not only aligns with his key role in the trailer but finally reach me call back that Marvel Studios has recognize Bucky ’s honest worth .
I’m Convinced Marvel Has Finally Figured Out How Great Bucky Is
Bucky Barnes Has Been Sidelined For Too Long
Bucky Barnes debuted inCaptain America : The First Avengeras the titular hero sandwich ’s most stalwart supporter . Since then , he ’s undergone one ofthe most tragical arcs in the MCU , harass by even more drama than most of the MCU ’s frontmost heroes . Despite this , Bucky ’s struggle and development have been treated as more of a sideline to full-grown MCU account , like the rift inCaptain America : Civil Warand Sam Wilson ’s sufferance of the Captain America mantlepiece inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier , despite Bucky ’s road to buyback being partly covered in both .
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is full of compelling redemption arcs for its heroes and villains , although some of them are far strong than others .
Now , as the loss leader of a band of misfits , it seems the MCU will finally give Bucky his due . give that multiple wiz from the movie have spoken about howThunderbolts*will not shy forth from dealing with themes of genial wellness , I cogitate the time is right to delve into Bucky ’s nous and place him front and center as a true superhero . Judging by drone footage , Bucky may even feel the redemption he has desperately sought for so long . I also revere this may fetch him closer to the chopping block , which would be a big loss for Marvel .

Marvel’s Thunderbolts* Movie Should Have More Bucky
Sebastian Stan Is Now One Of The Cast’s Most Decorated Actors
In addition to Bucky Barnes deserving more cover time for his compelling arc , it now behoove Marvel more than ever to highlight Sebastian Stan in fussy . The prolific player recently bagged a Golden Globes win for his role as Edward inA Different Man , only to bolster this honour with an Academy Awards nominationfor his portrayal of Donald Trump inThe Apprentice . This now makes Stan one of themost prestigious player in the MCU ’s lineupof regular and stock warrant mountain of space for Stan to flaunt his ability on - projection screen .
Whether any of the squad survives the trial by ordeal remain to be meet , and I ca n’t help but feel likeThunderbolts*would be the perfect station for Bucky to make the ultimate sacrifice .
Thankfully , Thunderboltsis the consummate stage . The " Big Game " trailer express that the nominal team will be in a heroic situation , banding together against an unsurmountable scourge in the phase of the godlike Void . Whether any of the team survive the ordeal remains to be seen , and I ca n’t facilitate but feel likeThunderboltswould be the perfect place for Bucky to make the ultimate sacrifice . Should this be the case , it would be a huge loss for Marvel Studios ( and the hearing ) , but I ’m unforced to assume it ifThunderbolts*gives Bucky the sendoff he deserves .
