Sebastian Stan is a huge part of the MCU now that Bucky has returned as The Winter Soldier. It’s the general consensus that Marvel has a grand plan at all times. But Stan revealed in a recent interview with Mike Ryan of Uproxx that they weren’t sure how far they were going to be able to go when they cast him as Bucky for the first Captain America film. You can check out a quote below.
When you signed on for the first Captain America movie, did they tell you then where your character was going? I know you signed on for multiple movies, but did they say, “In the second movie the name of your character will be in the title”? Or is it, “Right now you are Bucky, we will tell you more later.”
It was a lot more like that. You know, I was in an office with Kevin Feige at one point and I remember they were educating me. I didn’t know anything. I didn’t grow up with comic books. I didn’t know anything about it. So, they were educating me about it going, “This is what happens with Bucky, he becomes The Winter Solider.” And I was nodding my head and taking it in going, “Okay, this is cool, but are you talking to me like I have this part of The Winter Soldier? Are you saying I should be excited?”
And actually earlier this year when Kevin came to the set of Civil War, I actually asked him, “How does it feel to come to this set and watch these people?” And he said to me straight, “Yeah, we were talking about it, but the truth is we didn’t know we going to be able to do it.” They didn’t really know they were going to be able to get to do Civil War. They didn’t even know they were going to be able to do The Winter Soldier.
With all that being said, let’s just be happy we get to see “Captain America: Civil War” next year. You can check out the full interview with Sebastian Stan by clicking here.
