Avengers: Infinity War - Predicting The Fate Of Every Avenger

Bucky Barnes will spend most of Infinity War at Black Panther's side, in Wakanda.

He's currently on ice there, and with Sebastian Stan recently confirming he won't be in Black Panther, it makes sense that he'd be woken from his slumber when the Infinity War begins.

What Will Happen To Him? Though Cap and Bucky are wanted criminals, all that will be forgiven when Thanos shows up - there'll be bigger fish to fry. Bucky will be a part of the fight, but will he make it out?

Not likely. People have been saying for some time that Marvel are positioning Bucky to take over as Captain America, but you have to consider the real-world politics of the situation; Sebastian Stan just isn't as popular as Chris Evans.

Bucky can be killed off without affecting the series' star power in the slightest, and this would also provide an emotional kick that would bring Cap and Iron Man even closer together, like the death of Coulson did in The Avengers.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
