Avengers 4: Predicting The Fate Of Every Avenger

23. Bucky Barnes

Current Status: Dusted

His Avengers 4 Fate: Does Bucky really have anywhere else to go? Besides the obvious - him taking on the mantle of Captain America - it doesn't seem like the character has much more story left in him. He's been cured of his Hydra programming and is now fighting the good fight, meaning that he's come full circle from his WW2 days. That seems like a nice place to leave him be.

However, he won't die in Avengers 4. Marvel will want to keep him around in case they do decide to make him the new Captain America further down the line (that isn't a subplot you just cram into Avengers 4, so it won't happen here).

But since this could be Chris Evans' last appearance as Cap (more on him later), Bucky will get one last battle scene with his best friend. Then, he'll survive the movie and remain in Wakanda (given that his new "White Wolf" moniker is closely tied to the nation), so Marvel can revisit him whenever they need to - Black Panther 2, anyone?
