Rumor in Doomsday - what is with this recurring rumor about a character death?

This isn't so much of a spoiler as it is a rumor (so may or may not end up being a spoiler). In *Thunderbolts*, the rumor was that Bucky would die (brought up in part by the supposed MCU insider CanWeGetSomeToast who claimed, in a somewhat vague way, that Sentry would kill Bucky. That turned out to be wrong. Now we have rumors that Bucky will die in *Doomsday*. What's behind all these rumors?

its also the fact that he’s “apparently cast” as two face in the batman 2 which has led ppl to believe that hes dying in doomsday which is dumb as balls

maxfridsvault2026-01-24 17:54

lol do they not understand actors can play different characters in marvel and dc at the same time? it’s been done before

Venomm7372026-01-24 17:57

That's not the reason, the reason is that Secret Wars and The Batman Part II will be filmed at the same time so he had to choose one.

Kurandaand2026-01-25 00:35

It‘s a fair concern to raise. But as a counterpoint: both movies are filming in London and given the expected size of the Secret Wars it’s possible Bucky has a very tiny role in Secret Wars. Since he‘s not playing Batman, he will have at least a few days free he could film on. Not saying I’d like it if he’s just basically a cameo…just that it is possible.

suhmadihh2026-01-24 17:57

exactly and its not even confirmed that he’s in it

Expensive-Trip-18582026-01-24 21:24

At the same time? I’m trying to think of examples, but the ones I can think of had already completed one before doing another.

kneeco282026-01-24 17:53

If you're going to bring back Rogers, you've got to get him to a new low and killing Bucky makes all the sense in the world.

I imagine rumours are just speculation based on that.

Shaxai2026-01-24 18:01

I mean, Bucky’s death would be a hell of a motivation for Steve to put the suit back on

Crimkam2026-01-24 18:13

and it's revealed that Steve gave Sam the shield because Bucky's about to fuckin' die anyway?

kneeco282026-01-24 18:18

What? No.

Crimkam2026-01-24 19:06

seems like a lame rumor to me.

TheeDeputy2026-01-24 17:53

All I know is I hope he does lol

silverBruise_322026-01-24 17:56

At this point, so do I. And I'm a fan of the character

Immediate_Channel3932026-01-24 17:54

Nah. Bucky will be there till the end of the line. Just cuz he’s supposed to be in The Batman Pt 2, doesn’t mean he’ll die in the mcu

fabulousfantabulist2026-01-24 17:58

Oddly, in comics it used to be gospel truth that Bucky would stay dead alongside Uncle Ben. Now, it seems that despite a lot of his story being pretty wrapped he’s kind of unkillable in the MCU.

HanTrollo7102026-01-24 18:02

It was crazy how two untouchable comic deaths ended up creating awesome characters in Red Hood and Winter Soldier

fabulousfantabulist2026-01-24 18:21

I remember being so gagged about Bucky particularly. Like, WHAT. That was so unexpected and cool.

Variation_Afraid2026-01-24 17:54

Literally just random people online lmao ever since the supposed casting of Sebastian Stan in the Batman 2, people just been saying “ ohh Bucky will die in doomsday” because by the time the Batman 2 starts shooting, secret wars will also be shooting at the same time, what people don’t realize is that an actor can shoot multiple movies simultaneously, it all depends on the contracts and scheduling and how and what role does that actor have in the movie, assuming he is in both movies

hell20_2026-01-24 17:55

Leakers? All I see is a bunch of dudes operating fake accounts making up stuff to create hype.

BoudiccaAoife2026-01-24 17:55

I think people still go by the old rule of actors not being allowed to work for rival companies - not sure if that was ever actually in contracts, but if you're DC, you don't want your actor for say, Batman, to then have a movie out in competition with that person playing, for instance, Ironman.

iwannalynch2026-01-24 17:59

I think it's mostly due to how Sebastian Stan seems to be outgrowing his MCU fame. Also, they don't really seem to know what to do next with his character or how to really take advantage of Bucky's popularity, thus making him feel a bit like a relic of the past.

Supermite2026-01-24 18:04

“ thus making him feel a bit like a relic of the past.”

No pun intended, I’m sure.👍

iwannalynch2026-01-24 18:14

It was intended actually 😁

silverBruise_322026-01-24 18:02

Well, the actor's contract is almost up. He also wasn't on set very long (a few weeks, as opposed to months other actors spent there). Plus, they clearly don't want to write for the character. His death would give the movie stakes, and it would help them clear house for the upcoming X-men/F4 focused phase.

And also, a few months ago, apparently the Marvel TikTok account liked a video theorizing that Bucky would die (I haven't actually seen this, so this is second-hand information).

The rumor was around well before the Batman rumors.

Expensive-Trip-18582026-01-24 21:27

I saw the TikTok, they really did. Also, Sebastian was talking about Marvel in the past tense recently, which is curious.

silverBruise_322026-01-24 21:29

Yeah, there was that interview, too.

While it's not guaranteed that Bucky will die in Doomsday, of course, people aren't just saying that for no reason

Expensive-Trip-18582026-01-24 21:37

It’s interesting that some people really think Marvel, given how secretive their productions are, would let one of their actors work on a competitor’s set and then come back to theirs after lunch. He’s not doing a DC and Marvel movie at the same time 😭

silverBruise_322026-01-24 21:40

They might tolerate some of their actors doing it, but not someone they've treated pretty poorly, and who seems done with them. The Batman role is, I think, incidental here

Expensive-Trip-18582026-01-24 21:45

Exactly. That sounds like a mighty effort just to hold onto an actor for a character they don’t seem especially invested in. They had 15 years.

silverBruise_322026-01-24 21:46

Exactly. And I think Stan understands that it's just not happening. So, he's moved on, and let the chips fall where they may with Bucky. I can't say I blame him

Expensive-Trip-18582026-01-24 22:17

He’s doing great work outside of Marvel and being praised for it, so he’s earned it.

silverBruise_322026-01-24 22:19

He definitely has. It's like everybody knows what he's capable of, except Feige

Swing-Full2026-01-24 18:24

He signed a 9 Movie deal which is up after Doomsday and we've never heard about a new contract

Also he's playing Harvey Dent in The Batman 2, which is filming at the same time as Secret Wars

Away_Koala20202026-01-24 20:37

If bucky dies, can Sebation Stan play Luke Skywalker??? Please!!!!

Hyxenflay7737_45652026-01-24 21:33

I personally don’t want or believe he’s going to die. It would be a total slap in the face if he did, considering he’s finally found friends and a team who cares about him after years of being miserable, abused, and hunted.

At least have him make up with Sam and have a last moment with Steve before he dies, if that is what Marvel’s doing with him.

DCangst2026-01-24 21:52

Yes, it would suck if they killed him off. He's one of the few original MCU characters remaining -- not to mention I just love The Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes as a character. I think he's one of the most compelling characters in both the comics and the MCU, but they didn't do him justice in the MCU. At least in the comics he has some great storylines.

Hyxenflay7737_45652026-01-24 22:01

I forever mourn what his relationship with Natasha could have been in the MCU.

beekeeper_atlamont2026-01-24 21:42

People have been saying Bucky is going to die since TWS. They've been saying Steve was going to die since Age of Ultron. That's what people do.
