It has been confirmed that Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) is not going to be in Captain America: New World Order. The character has been a mainstay of the Captain America franchise in the MCU to this point by making appearances in the first trilogy.
Bucky's Future With The Thunderbolts Is Better Than Becoming Captain America. While Bucky will not be the Captain America of the Multiverse Saga, he has a much brighter future ahead of him as the new leader of the MCU's announced Thunderbolts lineup.
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier won't have a traditional second season, but will continue through upcoming MCU movies, Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts.
Bucky Barnes' new role in Phase 5 as the Thunderbolts team leader can help complete his MCU redemption story after being Winter Soldier. Bucky Barnes' new Phase 5 role as the leader in Thunderbolts can help the Marvel Cinematic Universe complete his redemption arc.
The fact that Bucky did wear the arm is why it disappeared according to the Russo brothers (via Comicbook), as they stated anything that was part of someone's identity would disappear when snapped.

What does Ayo say to Bucky after removing his arm?
Considering both the significance of Bast in Wakandan culture and Bucky's reaction to the words, "Bast damn you" seems to be one of the harshest curses that Ayo could have hurled.
The fact of the matter is, the arm still functions as a part of his body. The superpowered enhancements do not change the fact that he will still naturally experience pain when his body is put under such stress, especially when the arm is attached to so many nerves that could've been damaged from losing his actual arm.
It's fitting that Bucky would find his clarity in Wakanda, a kingdom that values its peace but knows how to fight when needed. Here, he is gifted a new arm built out of vibranium by Wakanda's own princess Shuri (Letitia Wright).
The best way to explain why Bucky would choose to work with the U.S. government and the Thunderbolts is if they offered him a tempting deal. Knowing that Bucky needs a new arm, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine might offer him a new one in exchange for joining her Thunderbolts team.
Robert Downey Jr. confirmed that Iron Man 4 is indeed in the works. While negotiations continue for his return, this would mark his 7th appearance in a standalone Marvel movie and his 9th outing as Tony Stark in total.
As of 2023, Barnes has appeared in seven MCU films, as well as in a lead role in the miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021). He is expected to return in the upcoming film Thunderbolts (2025). Sebastian Stan's portrayal of the character has been met with positive reception.
The burgeoning intimacy between Sam and Bucky, which began as animosity at season's start, fueled rumors of the pair's romantic future. But Mackie insisted that theirs is a platonic relationship: “Bucky and Sam have a relationship where they learn how to accept, appreciate and love each other.
Sam even banded together with the All-New, All Different Avengers to take down Warbringer—an alien enemy attempting to bring the Chitauri to Earth. It was during this period as an Avenger that Wilson gained a new partner in Joaquín Torres too, who went on to take his former codename, Falcon!
Like anybody that ends up traumatized by a war experience, he was affected by it for the rest of his life. So, what felt like a desire there was for a restart - for him and for Steve in a way. It didn't necessarily feel like the shield was gonna be that.
Marvel Studios made new comment on Chris Evans, as Anthony Mackie is the new Captain America. All of these rumors can finally go to rest. The Marvel Universe is changing for good with Anthony Mackie officially taking the shield in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
To accomplish these lofty goals, Bucky is assembling a new team with the help of Contessa Valentina Allegra De Fontaine. The new Thunderbolts roster includes Black Widow, White Widow (Yelena Belova), Red Guardian, Destroyer (Sharon Carter), US Agent and Shang-Chi.
Fans speculate about one of Natasha's lines in Civil War. She and Bucky fight against each other while he is in Winter Soldier mode. As he is strangling her, she says to him, “You could at least recognize me.” Fans usually interpret this to mean that Bucky helped train Natasha in the Red Room as he did in the comics.
Bucky is no longer treated like a villain because his name was cleared and the horrible actions of his past as the Winter Soldier haven't been made public, but it's that same past that makes him more suitable for the Thunderbolts.
In the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which released before Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Nebula gives Bucky's arm to Rocket as a Christmas gift. Although it's meant as a callback to the Infinity War and GOTG 1 jokes, it created some confusion about how exactly Nebula got the arm.
Bucky ties into Wolverine's memories and when he finds him, the Winter Soldier reveals he killed his wife and unborn child on orders from his superiors. Bucky recounts killing Logan's pregnant wife Itsu in Japan.
Even ignoring that James Gunn (director of the Guardians films) said on Twitter that Nebula basically already beat the crap out of Bucky to get his metal arm for the Holiday Special, Nebula scales to Gamora, who has strength/durability feats comparable to or greater than a Super Soldier's.
Who is physically stronger Bucky or Captain America?
In terms of raw strength, Captain America is typically portrayed as being stronger than the Winter Soldier, although the Winter Soldier's combat skills and agility can still make him a formidable opponent.
Serum enhances the strength and ability of human. Now bucky was not weaker than John, but we can see the fact that even at his human level John walker had better training than Bucky. He was so good as fighting before even getting the serum. So he was able to fight better than bucky.
Bucky Barnes, like Steve Rogers, has lived for several decades due to cryogenic freezing and the super-soldier serum. Bucky's life expectancy could potentially surpass Steve's 116 years, depending on circumstances. Despite outwardly aging at the same rate as Steve, Bucky can still live for at least another 80 years.
