Sebastian Stan Comments on the MCU’s Confusing Growth

Image
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to add more heroes and villains into the mix, meaning that more projects are being developed behind the scenes. While the Infinity Saga mainly focused on the big screen, the MCU's Phase 4 is taking it up a notch by expanding onto the small screen, leading to the arrival of Disney+ shows such as WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier .  Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige addressed the so-called overabundance of MCU content, noting that the uniqueness of each Disney+ series prevented such an impression and also saying that he "feels like the audience has responded the way we wanted them to." ADVERTISEMENT However, as the massive superhero franchise expands, many would agree that it might be hard to keep track of the MCU's story. This is on top of the ever-growing cast of characters, the topic of what is and isn't canon to the franchise, and the introduction of the vast Multiverse. ...

After taking up the Cap mantle in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , it was announced that Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson would star in  Captain America 4.  But many have come to wonder if Sebastian Stan (aka Bucky Barnes) will make an appearance in the upcoming sequel.  Nothing has been officially confirmed on the Stan front; however, Sam and Bucky have become quite close after the events of their Disney+ series.  Captain America 4  is being penned in part by  Falcon and Winter Soldier  scribe Malcolm Spellman, so all signs are pointing to the heroic pair reuniting on screen.  ADVERTISEMENT And it is not as if Stan doesn't want to be in the film.

Sebastian Stan Says He's 'Taking a Break' From Anthony Mackie

Image
Back when  Captain America: Civil War  aired, there was one moment that led to more than either actor could have imagined - and it came down to one simple action. Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson denied Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes' simple request: he wouldn't move his seat up. Those few seconds showed the chemistry between those two actors, leading to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige eyeing the possibility of an adventure with the two of them. This culminated in  The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,  which saw both Sam and Bucky team up against an international terrorist threat while also fighting to preserve Steve Rogers' legacy, which was endangered thanks to John Walker. While they didn't get along at first, the bromance between the two of them blossomed throughout the six episodes. ADVERTISEMENT With the show now done, fans are left wondering what's next. Not only that, but when it's all said and done, how often do the ...

Sebastian Stan has had quite a career with Marvel Studios. His first appearance was all the way back in  Captain America: The First Avenger , and his latest was in  The Falcon and the Winter Soldier— not including his voice work in  What If...? . Starting as a friend to Chris Evan's famous hero, he then turns into a brain-washed villain, to a lost stranger, back to a close ally in the last two  Avengers  films. Now the character has co-starred in his own show, sharing the spotlight with Anthony Mackie's Captain America. Bucky Barnes has no doubt been through a lot. He's had a rough go of it, given his many decades under HYDRA's control; it feels like some of his most significant contributions to the MCU have been as a villain. He was the lead antagonist in  Captain America: The Winter Soldier  and went on to be the catalyst to breaking the Avengers apart, which led to them subsequently losing in  Infinity War .
