![]() ![]() ![]() This leads him to Florence Kasumba's Ayo, who was last seen in Infinity War. The series' latest episode, “The Power Broker,” showed that Bucky is still fairly connected with Wakanda as he notices the trail of beads on the ground with the kingdom's markings. The newest episode may have shed more light on Bucky's relationship with the formally secluded nation. No one seems to actually know much about Bucky's time in Wakanda after staying there for at least two years while T'Challa's sister, Shuri, helped purge the HYDRA programming from his mind. In the episode entitled “The Star-Spangled Man,” Sam Wilson makes a crack at Bucky being called the “White Panther,” only for the former assassin to correct the avian hero and say that he was actually called the “White Wolf.” This proves that Bucky still treats that title given to him with respect, to the confusion of Wilson at the seriousness of his response to his jab. Even as Bucky was conscripted into the fight for Wakanda against Thanos, he still found moments to appreciate the hidden city he called home for the previous two years. That is until T'Challa came strolling up to Bucky with his new arm to get him ready for another fight. BETTER TIME IN WAKANDA Marvel Studiosĭuring Bucky's mandatory therapy appointment in the debut episode, “New World Order,” the former brainwashed assassin said that “I had a little…calm in Wakanda.” The WWII vet is still remarking fondly on his time there, which was even shown in Avengers: Infinity War, when Bucky was shown to be quite content with just one arm tending to goats. These mentions continued until the surprise cameo in the latest episode, giving some exciting implications. So, it was a happy surprise when Bucky's time in Wakanda came up again in the very first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Something that sparked the most interest in fans was Bucky being given the title of White Wolf.Ī title that belonged to an entirely different character in the comics paints an interesting relationship that Barnes would have with the African nation. This experience is only shown with his initial arrival to the hidden nation at the end of Captain America: Civil War, his recovery in a post-credit scene from Black Panther, and of course, his assistance in the fight against Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. That’s all speculation, but with his training, T’Challa could make him a “War Dog” spy and make him become the MCU’s version of the White Wolf.Warning: This article contains spoilers for “Episode 3" of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.īucky Barnes' time in Wakanda was barely explored at all in the MCU films. ![]() Considering we see Bucky fighting alongside the Avengers in the trailer for Infinity War, perhaps he’s also standing up to defend his new home, and when the dust settles after the battle with Thanos, he’ll decide to stay. Like Hunter, Bucky feuded with T’Challa before they ultimately wound up on the same side. After all, Wakanda's people are the first to treat him with kindness after he became a mind-controlled murderous machine and went on the run in Civil War. As for how this applies to Bucky, we’re thinking that he might go on to have a role not unlike Hunter’s where he becomes an adopted son of Wakanda. He was named White Wolf because, yes, he was the sole white man living in Wakanda. Though he was jealous of T’Challa because he knew he would never sit on the throne, Hunter was made the head of Wakanda's secret police, the Hatut Zeraze (pronounced ha-TOO sir-AH-say, if you were wondering), better known as the Dogs of War. Hunter was the adopted son of T’Chaka, T’Challa’s late father. ![]()
