Bucky Barnes has always been my absolute favourite character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - and no, it’s not because he’s handsome.
Although, of course, I’m not complaining about the fact that that is very true.
Bucky is such a complex character, offering both light and shade, and it’s why I cannot wait to see more of him in next year’sThunderbolts*.

I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t hoping to see Bucky also appear inCaptain America: Brave New World.
Sebastian Stan isn’t on the cast list, but I find it hard to believe that Bucky and Sam aren’t going to check in on one another given their friendship.
Perhaps Bucky will surface in a post-credits stinger, leading us intoThunderbolts*.
WithThunderbolts*holding its cards close to its chest, we don’t know all that much about what’s keeping Bucky so preoccupied.

The only issue is that neither of the characters would’ve taken the super soldier serum at that point in time, so I’m not sure a period piece about the two friends would really land withMarvel’s executives, as pleasant as it sounds.
It wasn’t the actor’s only idea though.
“Or we can even do a prequel to beforeCaptain America: The Winter Soldierwhere we’re actually seeing what happened, you know, with him. We never really explore that,” he began.
“We always see him towards the very end of his Winter Soldier Arc. But when he had this other double life, you know, where, I don’t know, he taught like [Scarlett Johansson’s] Black Widow how to be Black Widow.”

“I mean it might be interesting to see, again if you guys are interested, we’ll see,” he continued.
Now that sounds far more likely - plus it would be great to see Scarlett back on screen too.
We’ll have to wait and see if any such plans actually come to fruition.
