![]() ![]() ![]() Walker's methods have already become questionable since the iconic vibranium shield was placed in his trust, but if he were to lose Battlestar during a mission, Cap 2.0 could use the incident to justify even more extreme measures, perceiving the death of his closest friend as weakness on his part. The death of Hoskins could act as the trigger to finally push Walker over the edge, fully turning the new Captain America toward the dark side. If one dead sidekick isn't enough, how about two? Clé Bennett is John Walker's right-hand man, ably serving the new Captain America as Battlestar. Similar to Torres, Battlestar finds himself occupying the periphery of Falcon & The Winter Soldier, and so his safety is far from guaranteed. Baron Zemo's ultimate goal is to end the Avengers and settle a personal vendetta, and that quest feels like it's only just beginning. But to die on the end of Wakanda's blade would be far too simple. The Wakandans are understandably unhappy that King T'Chaka's killer is on the loose, and should Ayo catch up to her prey, even Zemo couldn't talk his way out of a beating. The presence of Ayo, a Dora Milaje warrior, in Falcon & Winter Soldier episode 3 does sprinkle a little danger onto Baron Zemo's comeback. The Sokovian Baron is cooperating with Sam and Bucky for now, but inevitably has an ulterior motive, and until those designs are revealed, Zemo's MCU status is secured. The character must also live long enough to reveal his hand. To kill off Zemo immediately after his Falcon & The Winter Soldier reinvention would be nothing short of criminal. He has the supervillain mask, the supervillain wealth, the supervillain butler and the supervillain fighting moves, none of which he previously utilized to the fullest extent. Making his grand return after debuting in Captain America: Civil War, Daniel Brühl's Zemo is finally a supervillain. Much like Falcon, Baron Zemo is getting a new lease of life in the MCU. The likes of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers always needed to be accounted for when an emergency arose, but Bucky can slip in and out of the shadows as needed. Like Sam Wilson, Bucky is a character in transition, and MCU fans need to see the butterfly at the end of that process, instead of finding a squashed cocoon under Kevin Feige's boot.īucky is also useful in the sense that he goes off-grid so often, he doesn't need to be killed off. But Bucky survived the battle, and Falcon & The Winter Soldier is the MCU's first opportunity to explore Sebastian Stan's character without the shadow of his super soldier bestie. Bucky's story could've ended conclusively in Avengers: Endgame if Steve Rogers' ever-faithful friend gave his life to protect Captain America - just as he did when they were youngsters in Brooklyn. ![]() Aside from the question of whether Marvel Studios would kill such a long-serving character on Disney+ instead of the big screen, it makes little sense to let Bucky go so soon after he survived the battle against Thanos.
