Sebastian Stan has a few words for those who "shit on" Marvel Studios
Sebastian Stan is having a moment right now. He's currently promoting the bad boy film of awards (and election) season, The Apprentice, a movie that has only become more interesting because Hollywood studios were too scared to get behind it. He's also starring in A24's A Different Man, one of the year's best-reviewed movies (The A.V. Club gave it an A ). But no matter how much indie cred he gets—and this year, he's getting a lot—Stan will never turn his back on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"I've never been part of a company that puts so much heart and thought into anything," he says in a new interview with . "I think if Marvel was gone, it'd be such a big hole to try and fill up. Don't just go out there and shit on something without offering something better."
Stan previously admitted to feeling "protective" of Marvel Studios , even proposing that the superhero ecosystem is what helps allow smaller movies to get made. After more than a decade playing The Winter Soldier, a.k.a. Bucky Barnes, Stan is happy to continue playing in the MCU sandbox. He even expresses hope to be "in a scene with" Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom in the next big saga. "Is there any other guy that could pull that off? I don't know, probably not. After Tropic Thunder, is there anything that guy can't do?"
