For Spellman, Bucky entered the series still believing that he was the Winter Soldier that Hydra would deploy. And while there are nods to his White Wolf identity, he still spends the series trying to forge a new path.
“That was the identity of Bucky walking in here, fraught with trauma plus the fact that he doesn’t feel like a citizen of any era,” Spellman said. “We took him on this journey of trying to find ways to redeem himself and learning that the right of revenge is not the same as redemption. It is not the same as some kind of reparation or whatever, is it?”
“I think Bucky comes into this really believing that he’s some kind of Winter Soldier, no matter what they say,” Spellman continued. “In the end, he has the moment with the old man, but more importantly, no one has grasped this … I’ve been saying it all day.

So, at the end of this series, Bucky is emerging like he’s got rid of the Winter Soldier’s burden. He’s found a new family, Ironically, Black family in Louisiana, you know what I’m saying? And he’s proven himself a hero for the first time. And I think now he’s free to become something amazing. “
