MCU Fans Worried Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Will Die After DC Casting
Some MCU fans are convinced that Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes won’t be making it out of Avengers: Doomsday alive.
Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday is currently in post-production. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, also known as the Russo Brothers, the movie will be released in United States theaters later this year. The sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars, is scheduled for 2027.
Why do MCU fans think Sebastian Stan’s Bucky will die in Avengers: Doomsday?
It has been confirmed that Stan will reprise his MCU role as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier in Avengers: Doomsday, though whether or not he’s also part of the cast for Avengers: Secret Wars remains to be seen.
In light of the news that Stan is now in talks to play a character in Matt Reeves’ The Batman 2, also known as The Batman Part II, many Marvel fans are now convinced this means Bucky will die in Doomsday.
The logic behind this reasoning seems to be that Avengers: Secret Wars and The Batman 2 will be filming at the same time. While this very well may be true, it’s still entirely possible that Stan could appear in both films. Avengers: Doomsday, in comparison, began filming at the end of April 2024, and production lasted all the way to mid-September. The entire ensemble cast was not on set during that whole time, meaning Stan could theoretically do both projects.
For now, MCU fans will have to wait until December 18, 2026, to see who survives Doomsday and who doesn’t. Avengers: Secret Wars follows on December 17, 2027.
As for The Batman 2, that movie — which is part of Matt Reeves’ The Batman Epic Crime Saga — is scheduled to be released between Doomsday and Secret Wars on October 1, 2027. Robert Pattinson will reprise his role as Batman/Bruce Wayne, while Scarlett Johansson has also been cast in the film.
