Yeah, I know. The question to that answer is...kind of easy to answer. Example: He could be some young soldier that Cap meets and really motivates and then he becomes his sidekick or sort of and dons a costume or maybe they just have him in standard army attire.
But that isn’t really my problem here. My problem is that they cannot explore the character deeper than this one movie.
How come you ask? Well let me elaborate.
Just yesterday news reported that Robert Buckley was in the hunt for the role of Bucky. And though their names are a solid match, that would mean that Bucky is gonna be about the same age as Cap, seing as they’re casting call for Captain America had the age limitations 33 and Buckley is 28 years old. Now that wasn’t really a problem back when they made the comics, but today if Cap was awaken from his frozen hibernation, Bucky would be between 80-90 years old, depending on how good they are making Buckley appear younger than he is.
So as you see good ol’ Winter Soldier would be...Well, Old! And in no condition to fight bad guys and take up the mantle and wield the shield, when and if Marvel chooses to go with the death of Cap in the future. Now I know that it is long stretches and theories I’m throwing at you here, but I think it is valid to ask the question: “How does Bucky fit in?”. Will they just use him in the First Avenger film? Will he be featured heavily or just appear as a cameo? Will he don a costume or will he just be a random soldier, who forms a bond with our beloved Captain?
I’m not really the biggest fan of Bucky as you may realize. And I’m pretty sure some of you know a thing or two about how the comics have dealt with this problem of lately. Because I cannot believe if they haven’t sniffed at it. If not, then maybe they should just save him for future Avengers films or something along those lines.
Well no matter what. I want to hear your opinions on this? So please sound of below and remember to: KEEP ON TRUCKING!
