Marvel's White Wolf Explained (A Better Soldier)

Subscribe: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-CBR
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a huge hit and it’s already making its two leads into two of the most complex and interesting characters in the MCU. Man these Disney+ TV shows were a great idea weren’t they? What they’ve done for both Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson in just a few episodes is better than any movie appearance. I’m starting to think all MCU projects should just be TV shows now!
But anyways, Episode 2 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, finally saw the two leads meet up and start kicking butt. But there was an interesting callback to Bucky’s past, specifically with his time in Wakanda. He mentions how he went by the White Wolf and that immediately opened the door for further speculation. In Avengers: Infinity War, T’Challa called Bucky the White Wolf, seemingly setting up a new storyline for the former Winter Soldier, but that was soon dropped. Could we see Bucky actually return to Wakanda in the future to take up the White Wolf moniker again? It actually seems like a pretty good possibility! But just who exactly is The White Wolf in the comics? Would you believe White Wolf is actually the name of one of Black Panther’s biggest enemies? Once you know the backstory, the whole picture becomes much clearer!
So go ahead and check out today’s video all about White Wolf and Bucky Barnes. I’ll talk about Bucky’s past and what his future might hold so check it out! Once you’re done, be sure to hit that big like and subscribe button for more awesome MCU content like this. Thanks for watching CBR! Let’s get started.

Do you want to see Bucky Barnes wear the White Wolf suit in the MCU? Here other Marvel Super Serum Soldiers you should know about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2XEgHSYnc98r6s

[@keihbrown2650]

I hope white wolf be in one of the episode

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

Yes, yes I do. Mainly because he can't be called The Winter Soldier due to it's Soviet roots and calling him Bucky is kind of lame. Be awesome to see Bucky become the White Wolf.

[@vaskrus1852]

I think Bucky will use "White Wolf" as his hero name because he believes that "The Winter Soldier" is associated with his villainous history.

[@Dasha-pv1xk]

I love this theory and it makes so much sense

[@aditya.sharma]

I want this to happen too

[@MyNegroAcademia]

I’ve been saying this for the longest lol. Technically speaking, Bucky was never The Winter Soldier so him using that as his codename never made sense to me, even in the comics, but the MCU gives him the chance to completely abandon that name. Both codenames were ones that were chosen by other people but “White Wolf” was one that was made for the real him, not the persona that was created through torture and hypnosis. Also, Bucky was a member of the Howling Commandos during WW2 in the MCU so him finally deciding to embrace that codename would kinda be a callback to that.

@@mayankraj1424 They’ve already said they’re not going to recast the character of T’challa. In fact, they mention that in this video.

Bucky's character development has been great. Definitely becoming one of my favorite characters of the MCU. Striving to overcome a dark past and one's inner demons and yet channeling that strength and power into something good resonates deeply.

[@Astrelynx]

Fun fact: now, idk if this was intended, probably isn’t bc Bucky’s character isn’t Romanian, but in Romania there’s a legend of the white wolf. He was a king who was loved greatly by his people, he was kind and just, and he ruled amazingly. When he died, the people mourned his death and worshipped him, because this was the loss of a great king. A god or goddess (I forgot which) approached the king’s spirit and offered him the opportunity to stay on earth and watch over his kingdom for eternity to come. He agreed, and was turned into an immortal white wolf, large and graceful. The myth says that he still roams the forest around the ruins of his castle/kingdom, watching over and keeping the peace spiritually. :)

Then maybe at the end of Black Panther II Shuri could be like: “I know a guy...The White Wolf.” because maybe Shuri is not ready to be queen cause she’s so young. So she would call out to Buckey promoting to be king of Wakanda... (This is based on my opinion).

[@jakepikey6825]

Here's something to consider. In the two episodes of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, some aspect of this concept was mentioned. In the first episode, Bucky mentions Wakanda by name. In the next episode, Bucky corrects Sam about his nickname, saying it was White Wolf. Moreover, it's implied heavily thus far that Sam will take Sam the mantle. If Bucky will not, he has options. And considering he appreciated his time in Wakanda more than anywhere else, it might prove likely that he returns to Wakanda after the events of the show for BP2. What about this. What if, to honor Chadwick, Black Panther is legit deceased in the MCU. Don't know how or why, but I'm sure they could come up with something. What if Bucky returns to give his condolences, some villain is on the loose, and Shuri feels pressure to take up the mantle? Bucky could be a supportive role for her, taking on the mantle of White Wolf.

Based on the White Wolf comics back story and Bucky's fondness for Wakanda, Bucky may likely return to Wakanda by the end of the series (which I've suspected all along). Life for him in Wakanda was far less complicated and the people there don't know his dark past. Plus, given that Shuri will more than likely take up the Black Panther moniker in the next Black Panther movie, maybe he'll become her right-hand man. Not that he'd take the title of General away from Okoye, but he'd definitely do whatever it took to fight for her and his new home.

@@aricaj.3006 NYC and the US in general offer way too many triggers for him. It makes no sense for him to stay. Besides, people still want to see Bucky become Captain America.

[@oldkitten8598]

@@francargeric1 Granted, she's not a fighter and, at her current skill level, M'Baku could take her out in seconds. And, given his comments about her in the 1st movie, he doesn't have a lot of respect for her because she's 'a child who scoffs at traditions.' But, let's not forget that Shuri DID become Black Panther in the comics. If they do the story right, the first part of the movie could be about her proving herself as a good leader and valiant warrior. At the Challenge Ceremony, each individual ruler has an opportunity to voluntarily challenge for the mantle of Black Panther. If by the end of the movie she comes to gain a deeper love and appreciation for Wakandan culture and traditions, she will likely win M'Baku's respect and he won't challenge her. Same with Bucky. He would need to prove that, although he's not a born Wakandan, he has accepted Wakanda as his new home and will fight to protect it.

It would be nice if they revealed later on the reason that Bucky is called the White Wolf is because t'chala was raised with a white kid named Hunter in the MCU but later died because of the bad things he did, but was still t'challa 's best friend/brother and the white wolf, which is why t'challa gave that name to Bucky.

[@vladdraculatepes9356]

Yeah you are right. From my personal opinion I think the same.White wolf maybe is dead and T'challa gave it to Bucky as a sign of respect.Maybe the White Wolf will appear in future movies.I don't believe that Bucky will take the White Wolf mantle. It would be awesome of course seeing Barnes as White Wolf. They are separate characters even in comics.I think would be a better idea introducing the hunter instead of Bucky as the White Wolf.We need some new faces and backstories. It's like giving Tony Stark a new mantle and calling him anything else. It's like Bucky will become a copycat instead something original wich is its own thing. But if there will be 2 White Wolfs he and Bucky fighting for the mantle will be cool.

The White Wolf is T'Challa and Shuri's adoptive brother Hunter! They need to get Hunter out of the woods incorporate him into the story and leave Buckey as Buckey . Because people wanna see what they read from the comics or animated series come to life on the Big screen!

[@kevinpittman2517]

Shuri i heard was to become the Pink Panther sometime soon.

[@Temujin18S]

MCU already missed their opportunity it's too late. The implications far too much as it only puts T-Chaka character in a far worse light, he left his own nephew in the US but was willing to raise a complete stranger in Wakanda whose happens to also be of white descent. This is why I never liked Killmonger origin in the 2018 movie in the first place.

[@abigoldberger3452]

Now that we've seen the Dora Malaje and a flashback tying to Wakanda this only supports this theory.

Stan does very well portraying Bucky , & the writers/studio have done very well adjusting the stories/characterization too. Prob 1 of the best characters in the MCU currently , & now starring in a show with Sam Wilson , who potentially could be on par with Bucky as a character & is played by an actor who is super-driven & super-grateful in Mr. Mackie ... Kudos all around to all those involved with FALCON & THE WINTER SOLDIER show & the development of the 2 title characters !!! Thank you for making this video !!!

If they make bucky a villain after all he's been through I'll pass. I know the comics like to flip flop characters like that but the movie's characters are more real, and more loved.

If BlackPanther&Killmonger can transform their necklace into a full combat suit, then a full arm would be more than enough to be a full combat suit. Also Agent Coulson had a deployable force field that can be shaped into what he want like a circular shield. It's not that difficult to put that into Bucky's robotic arm.

[@davidstorm2224]

The entire show FATWS was about him accepting himself as the Winter Soldier. So I think we will still see him as the winter soldier for a little while, at least until Wakanda calls on him. Then someone probably Shiri or Ayo would tell him he’s accepted himself and it’s time to move past that and take a new identity. Then probably giving him a White Wolf outfit

[@annaroche]

No, he's making amends for what the Winter Soldier did. In the last episode he's called Sergeant Barnes, and the Dora Milaje called him the White Wolf. He's not the Winter Soldier anymore.

[@davidstorm2224]

@@annaroche his conversation with nagashima had all the answers. He literal says “your son was killed by the Winter Soldier, and that was me.” He was making amends. But he had to accept himself for what he was and is, before he could become something new. That’s why they drop the name White Wolf but didn’t change his name in the title crawl at the end. It’s hints at the future(possibly) but he hasn’t become that yet. Even in the comics he accepts himself being the Winter Soldier and continues to use the name. It’s part of who he is. That’s what the series is about. Maybe the next project he’s in will show him evolving into the White Wolf.

Kinda be Bucky unknowingly realised that the white vibranium suit is actually within his vibranium arm (just like how T'Challa suit is a just a necklace). I felt that is kind of logical and make sense for the flow of story as White wolf is keep mentioning throughout the series and also prep for BP2. For the Thor part, Thor can literally work with anyone as you can see in Thor Ragnarok (he work with a talking rock, Korg) and Infinity War (Rocket and Groot). But it is just a theory of mine which I think is kinda cool to see it on screen.

I can honestly see him having a bigger role in the new movie due to the loss of Chadwick Boseman. This loss opens things up for Shuri, and seeing how she was the closest with Bucky, he could easily show up to help her because he does owe her big time. I won't be surprised either way, whether he shows up or not.
