Marvel's Thunderbolts Marvel's Thunderbolts is a superhero movie based on the comic team of the same name. The movie acts as a part of the MCU's fifth phase of films.

Now that Bucky does not have a confirmed spot in the Captain America franchise, how he is depicted in Thunderbolts is vital to his future. Thunderbolts needs to prove Bucky can work apart from the Captain America films, and could even depict him as the leader of the team. If the movie fails to do so, Bucky's absence from Captain America: Brave New World will be made more of a misstep in retrospect.

Custom image by Sean Migalla Despite the anger over Bucky being left out of Captain America: Brave New World, the choice makes sense. Bucky's appearance in Thunderbolts alone is a good enough reason to justify him not being in Captain America 4, as it moves him away from a supporting character and into a more main role. Furthermore, Captain America 4 is the beginning of a new trilogy, meaning having a fresh supporting cast than the Steve Rogers Cap movies is a logical choice.
This means that it would not make much sense for Bucky to appear as anything other than a cameo or ally to Sam.
In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Bucky and Sam resolved their main issues. This means that it would not make much sense for Bucky to appear as anything other than a cameo or ally to Sam. In a story that deals with characters like Thunderbolt Ross and The Leader, Sam's film is separating itself from those of Steve Rogers. This is further evidenced by Bucky's absence, which, while it may disappoint those wishing to see a Sam-Bucky reunion, makes sense for both characters and Captain America: Brave New World.
