The Bucky Thread

[Keyser Soze]

Anton Yelchin would make a good Bucky, though by 2011 he could be a little old. I guess he could still play a teen at 22...

[Project862006]

he is 20 now and can pass as a 17 year old i think he would be fine

[jab1118]

He is very small though and comes accross as a major pussy I am still not happy with him playing Kyle Reese, and seeing as how I am for him eventually becoming Witer Soldier i dont really like him he could never pull that off

But Bucky is small, a scrappy underdog. He may put on some size later for Winter Soldier, but Bucky should be small.

I agree with you in theory, in a perfect world I would have a small bucky but im reality
that actor could never be winter soldier. Anton Yelchin is 5'9 and is 20 years old he aint getting any bigger. Im thinking for Bucky you have to get someone who is tall but keep him very skinny so he comes off as smaller. Then later he can bulk up as winter soldier. Yelchin could never be imposing enough to go toe to toe with whoever plays Cap

who says they are even gonna go that far

Nobody, I would sure like them to. But if they have no intent of ever doing winter soldier then by all means pick a little guy.

I don't see why Winter Soldier can't be small-framed. He's not a "super soldier", he's a normal guy. I think it would be more detrimental casting a big guy as Bucky than it would to cast a little guy who would go on to play Winter Soldier. When you think about the iconic image of Captain America and Bucky side by side, Bucky is always at least a head shorter than Cap.

he is only 20

I could definitely see him as either Bucky or Rick Jones.

[Dog Brother #1]

I'd like to see Bucky in the first one. He could be "killed" in the first one and the brought back as Winter Soldier in the sequels. I love Brubaker's run on this title. And I say Emile Hirsh for Winter Soldier.

For Winter Soldier? Yeah. But for teenage Bucky in the original film? In 2011, Emile Hirsch will be 26, almost a decade older than what Bucky should be.

[Dog Brother #1]

Hirsh can play younger. Plus I'd rather see Bucky as more partner than "sidekick". You play him too young & you make him seem like a kid rather than a young man.

Seriously, they are the same and don't give me the Bucky has training BS....
Both were young teens when first introduced and had been given training by their mentors. Both are equally realistic... it's all fiction....

If you say they will make Bucky older then the same can be applied to Robin...

Well... it's really very different.

At the beginning of WWII Bucky was about 16 - there were plenty of 16 year olds that lied about their age so they could fight in WWII. Cap and Bucky fought for five years, so Bucky's 20/21 by the time he gets blown up and is presumed dead.

According to Marvel's official site, Bucky's 5'9" and 260 lbs.

I sticking with my pick of Trevor Morgan for now.

[Keyser Soze]

Trevor Morgan was really good in Mean Creek. But I don't know how he's grown up since then.

[Congo Jack]

That IMDb link's broken... hopefully this one will work.

[protocida]

Bucky should be in it, but not as Captain America's costumed sidekick. I don't know if I'd like to see him as Winter Soldier. His Ultimate version appeals to me.

[scatterax]

I say just make bucky a young soldier, who was friends w/ cap b4 he and cap got frozen.

and he should get thawed out and become winter soldier in the sequel. (maybe.)

so ya, he should only be a few years younger than cap in the movie version, imo.

...i mean, i really only want him to have a minor role (as bucky) in the 1st film. and if he comes back for part 2, and like half way through the movie it's reveled that the main villain is actually his friend from the 1st film who he thought we long dead, than imagine how shock the (non-comic fan) audiance will be in the theaters.

[Webhead2006]

YEa i would like to see that done.

Oh yeah. Plus, the Winter Soldier storyline has so much emotional oomph it's just so hard to say no to!

[vanillacyke]

I'd just like to say, Anton Yelchin for Bucky! That is as perfect of casting as your gonna get. Some guy's were talking about this earlier and it's just perfect, Anton Yelchin for Bucky.

While the Ultimate version has its strengths too, I think you could portray Bucky - character wise, at least - exactly like Ed Brubaker has in the comics, without any risk of it being silly. An orphaned teenage army brat is assigned to Captain America as his partner, ostensibly as a propaganda tool to counter the Hitler Youth, but actually to serve the role as advance scout, and do the dirty jobs Captain America must have plausible deniability of. Just alter the costume to remove the blue hotpants/red tights combo, if needs be, while keeping the character's role in the story the same.
