Thunderbolts* Director Addresses Bucky Barnes Putting His Vibranium Arm In The Dishwasher

:0:0

Director Jake Schreier acknowledges Thunderbolts*" dishwasher scene, poking fun at Bucky Barnes" choice of storage for his vibranium arm in the upcoming MCU movie. The first Thunderbolts* trailer features a brief shot of Bucky Barnes taking his vibranium arm out of a dishwasher — a big difference from the elegant case Bucky"s arm was introduced in. Some fans found the shot funny, while others find it a little concerning that Thunderbolts* is using Bucky Barnes" vibranium arm as comic relief in the trailers.
Speaking to Empire about Thunderbolts*, director Jake Schreier addresses Bucky"s arm and takes advantage of the online discussion around it to tease a "deep emotional journey" for Bucky and the rest of the Thunderbolts* cast. Shcreier says, "Come for the dishwasher jokes, stay for the deep emotional journey."
What The Thunderbolts* Director's Comments Mean Bucky Barnes Will Not Be A Comedy Relief Character In Thunderbolts* Close While Bucky Barnes" dishwasher shot might bring some laughs, the full Thunderbolts* cast will likely have roughly the same amount of comedy relief in the movie. In the Thunderbolts* trailers alone, Red Guardian, Yelena Belova, and US Agent drop a few funny one-liners, suggesting that the whole team will have a sense of humor. As director Jake Schreier suggests, Thunderbolts* will also give Bucky Barnes a serious arc that does the character justice without trivializing his journey.
