Thunderbolts*: New Details About Bucky’s Congressman Job in MCU Movie Emerge

It’s been unveiled that the political journey of Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is likely to be brief, according to recently shown footage from CinemaCon for the Thunderbolts film.

The Marvel Studios film “Thunderbolts” will hit U.S. theaters in May. Its star-studded cast includes Sebastian Stan portraying Barnes, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Wyatt Russell as John Walker/U.S. Agent, Olga Kurylenko as Antonia Dreykov/Taskmaster, Lewis Pullman as Bob/Sentry, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that in “Captain America: Brave New World,” it was disclosed that my beloved character, Bucky, has chosen to seek a seat in the United States Congress! Previously leaked footage for Thunderbolts hinted at his success, suggesting that indeed, the former Winter Soldier will be serving as our congressman.

What did the Thunderbolts* CinemaCon footage reveal about Bucky’s political career?

Fresh clips of Thunderbolts were exhibited at CinemaCon in Las Vegas recently. Although it’s not available online as of now, IGN reports that the footage contains Valentina mocking Bucky for his short-lived stint as a congressman, stating, “it’s mortifying he only served less than half a term.

It’s unclear why Bucky completed less than half of his term and what led to his departure, which will likely be revealed when “Thunderbolts” hits U.S. theaters on May 2, 2025.

As a fervent fan, I’d rephrase it like this: “In ‘Thunderbolts’, Marvel Studios brings together an unusual crew of antiheroes – Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, and John Walker. According to the movie synopsis, these troubled individuals are drawn into a deadly trap by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. As they grapple with their past demons on a perilous journey, they must decide whether their internal conflicts will tear them apart or if they can find redemption and unite as something greater before it’s too late.

Thunderbolts* is directed by Jake Schreier. Kevin Feige serves as a producer on the movie.
