White Wolf (2025), Sebastian Stan and Letitia Wright headline an intense and mysterious thriller set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The teaser trailer hints at an epic continuation of Bucky Barnes’ story, with Stan reprising his role as the White Wolf, a title Bucky adopted after living in Wakanda. Wright returns as Shuri, the genius inventor and Wakandan princess, playing a key role in the story.
The trailer opens with breathtaking shots of Wakanda’s landscapes and the futuristic Golden City, contrasting with darker, wintry scenes set in remote locations. A voiceover from Shuri reflects on the nature of identity, saying, “Sometimes, who we were is not who we are destined to become.” This line sets the thematic stage for the film, as Bucky struggles with the weight of his past as the Winter Soldier and his new path as the White Wolf.
Bucky, now fully integrated into Wakandan life, seems at peace in the beginning. However, the peace is short-lived. A new global threat emerges, targeting Wakanda’s advanced technology. A secret organization, revealed to have ties to Hydra, is using stolen vibranium to create a dangerous superweapon. Bucky is tasked with stopping them, and Shuri, along with Dora Milaje warriors, assists him in this mission.
Throughout the trailer, we see Bucky grappling with his violent past as the Winter Soldier. Flashbacks show him in some of his darkest moments, intercut with scenes of him training alongside the Wakandan elite. The conflict between who he once was and who he is trying to become forms the emotional core of the movie. In one chilling moment, Bucky says, “I can’t escape who I was, but maybe I can control who I become.”
The action ramps up with intense fight scenes, including a confrontation between Bucky and a masked figure wielding vibranium weapons. There are also glimpses of political intrigue, with Wakanda’s leadership at odds over how to deal with this new threat, hinting at a power struggle.
Letitia Wright’s Shuri takes a more central role, not only as a technological mastermind but as someone who helps Bucky navigate his emotional journey. There’s a brief scene of Shuri and Bucky in a lab, where Shuri upgrades his cybernetic arm with new, advanced features.
The teaser ends with a heart-pounding moment: Bucky, in full White Wolf gear, stands on the edge of a cliff, staring down an army of enemies, his vibranium arm glowing with new power. He whispers, “This is my fight now.”
White Wolf promises an action-packed, emotional continuation of Bucky’s journey, with Wakanda’s rich culture and advanced tech taking center stage.
