8 Ways The Winter Soldier Could Dominate The Marvel Cinematic Universe
6. The Implications Of His Existence On The Universe
The thing about a movie like Thor 2, and to a lesser extent Iron Man 3, is that they dont do much other than act as an extended prologue to the next big Avengers flick; conversely, Cap 2s events impacted and expanded the Marvel Universe in an unprecedented way. Similarly, the Winter Soldiers existence might have certain implications on the universe (and Marvel rarely teases plots without some larger design at hand) that put him a cut above some other one-shot MCU villains. As most comic book fans know, Bucky Barnes eventually becomes Captain America, after Steve Rogers is shot at the end of the Civil War arc; and Sebastian Stan has stated that he has signed a whopping nine-picture deal with Marvel. This almost necessitates the fact that Bucky will eventually become Captain Americawhich begs the question: will Civil War be adapted, or else how exactly is Steve going to be retired? Additionally, with a solo Black Widow movie being rumoured to be in the upcoming works, its not difficult to imagine the Winter Soldiers backstory playing a role in Natasha Romanovs, as in the comics. Essentially, what Bucky Barnes brings to Marvels antagonist table is future possibility, something thats invaluable of a character in a franchise like the MCU.
