White wolf marvel bucky barnes8/14/2023 (Don’t expect the Dora Milaje to take any orders from him, though. But it’s possible we will see Bucky serve some kind of White Wolf-ish leadership position when the Infinity War comes knocking on Wakanda’s door later this year. By the end of the third episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Power Broker, many fans became curious about Bucky Barnes relationship with Wakanda and his title as White Wolf. The Hatut Zeraze of the books were quite violent, so I’m not at all convinced we’ll see Bucky (who has no reason to resent the Black Panther) take on that role under the peaceful reign of King T’Challa. That’s a lot to take in, but don’t worry. Just when White Wolf thinks he’s gained the upper hand, Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers rally under the banner of Captain America. Jordan’s Erik Killmonger (who has his own, not dissimilar comic-book backstory).īut, once the White Wolf gets over his fratricidal/regicidal thoughts in the comics, he actually becomes quite useful to Wakanda and is driven by brotherly competition (tinged with hatred) and love of country to rise through the ranks and become leader of the Hatut Zeraze-Wakanda’s secret police, not to be confused with the all-female Dora Milaje. Sound familiar? Yeah, it would seem that a lot of White Wolf’s story was absorbed into creating Michael B. When Hunter’s younger adoptive brother, T’Challa, gets the throne instead of him, the White Wolf is consumed with jealousy and feels as though the crown should belong to him. In the books, Hunter’s parents die in a plane crash over Wakanda and he is raised by king T’Chaka. In the comics, White Wolf is the alter ego of T’Challa’s adopted older brother: a white man named Hunter. White Wolf is also the name of a fairly popular and classic villain from the books. But Black Panther comics fans may have gotten an extra layer of meaning here. What good is red and blue without the white? You may have noticed that as Bucky and Shuri went on their pleasant Wakandan walkabout, a number of locals were shouting the nickname “White Wolf!” at Bucky. Bucky Barnes remains the Winter Soldier for now, at least if the title change to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is any indication. There’s one more color we should mention to complete this over-analysis of Bucky’s two minutes (if that) of screen time. In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes is no longer the Winter Soldier, but Marvel has another title that even beats the White Wolf. As of right now, there is no immediate confirmation as to whether or not Stan will return, but given how. So that red and blue blanket might be a hint of costumes to come. It’s currently unknown where Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes will pop up in the MCU next. There is comic-book precedence for Bucky becoming Captain America after Steve actor Chris Evans also looks very likely to retire from the superhero game after these next two Avengers films. With credits in the upcoming Avengers two-part crossover, we can bump that up to five-but that means Stan still has miles to go before he can sleep on his tenure with Marvel. For what it’s worth, Sebastian Stan signed a nine-picture deal with Marvel and, not counting cameos, has only appeared in three movies so far.
