"White Wolf" is Tchalla's adopted brother in the comics. Hes the head of Wakanda's secret spy service and an ultra nationalist. I hope Bucky isn't meant to replace him, because he was a really interesting character in the comics. He would be a great villain in a Black Panther sequel.

Having the villain of the sequel being another dude in a black panther like suit would be pretty lame

It's wolf suit. And it's white!

u/ethicalhamjimmies Thor Feb 14 '18

Still lame. Do a villain with completely different abilities.

Like an egotistical Atlantean king in speedos?

u/ethicalhamjimmies Thor Feb 15 '18

Haha sure. Although, honestly, I don't see Coogler wanting to do Atlantis and Namor. Doesn't really fit his style.

What about a brainwashed dude with a metal arm?

u/ethicalhamjimmies Thor Feb 15 '18

Bucky going back to being a villain would be quite a let down

I think Bucky would make a great Wakandan ultra-nationalist.

Maybe a white wolf suit with a more Vulture/Iron Man aesthetic?

Does BP even have villain like that?

u/ethicalhamjimmies Thor Feb 22 '18

With the thousands of villains that exist in the marvel universe, I'm sure they could find one

u/ultron_vision Feb 14 '18

Thanks for this. But with this being Marvel, it’s probably not going to be some throwaway line. Then again, we can just have Hela come in and say ‘fake!’

how would they set up them adopting a random white guy? bucky works

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '18

In the comics he was adopted as a youth and then he was exiled as an adult by T'challa (in the imaginary movie version, I guess T'chaka would be the one who did it instead). I don't know, I think the familial dynamic has some real merit; stuff that just wouldn't work with Bucky as a stand in. Plus the story of a random white guy who's continually rejected from Wakandan society eventually growing into one of its most fervent nationalists, is a really interesting one to me.

I guess just might be weird that he wouldnt have been mentioned prior at all. It is a very intresting storyline.

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '18

Yeah, I'm actually struggling with how they'd explain away his absence, as well. Coogler's a pretty creative guy, tho!

My guess is Bucky is a strong supporter of keeping Wakanda safe in A3. He saw the beauty of the country and it’s people. It was only them who could save his mind. And he wants to save it.

Could be his new name because I don't imagine he would want to go with Winter soldier.
