Since his introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2011, Bucky Barnes, also known as the Winter Soldier, has garnered significant support from fans, particularly in the superhero realm. However, there remain many secrets yet to be revealed. Recently, it was hinted that Sebastian Stan may also appear in the upcoming Black Panther film.
During a recent interview at Wizard World Philadelphia, Sebastian Stan shared insights regarding his role:
“I really don’t know yet. What I do know is that I can give you an answer, but I can’t disclose anything right now. You might see him appear in the end, but the part after that will also be a thing. It’s all quite natural.”
Based on Sebastian Stan’s comments, it seems clear that he is treading carefully around the topic, likely due to Marvel’s strict confidentiality policies. However, this ambiguity suggests that the Winter Soldier could indeed have a role in the standalone Black Panther film. If he were not involved, it would be unusual for Sebastian Stan to be so circumspect about the topic.
The standalone Black Panther film is set to release in 2018, directed by Ryan Coogler, along with screenplay contributions from Joe Robert Cole and Ryan Coogler. The potential inclusion of the Winter Soldier could bring an entirely new dynamic to the narrative surrounding the iconic character of Black Panther.
As of now, we are left with speculation about the standalone Black Panther film and the potential involvement of the Winter Soldier, which could indeed add a vibrant new layer to the story surrounding this beloved superhero.
