Winter Soldier Actor Sebastian Stan Is The Latest Cast Member Confirmed To Appear In AVENGERS 4
We recently learned that Brie Larson will appear in the untitled Avengers: Infinity War sequel and now Captain America: Civil War star Sebastian Stan has confirmed that he'll also be part of the cast.
Brie Larson was recently spotted arriving in Atlanta to start shooting Avengers 4 and we can now add another Marvel Cinematic Universe actor to the highly anticipated release. Allaying any fears that Bucky will meet his maker in Avengers: Infinity War, Sebastian Stan has confirmed in a new interview that he's gearing up to return as the former Winter Soldier but will he suit up as Captain America?
That obviously remains to be seen but many fans remain convinced that Stan will take over the mantle if Steve Rogers falls to Thanos. However, the actor admits he's not the screenplay so doesn't know!
"I still haven’t read a script for this next one. For this fourth one. All I know is I’m going down there in October, and that’s all I know. I still actually haven’t read a script for the last one. [laughs] All I knew was what I was involved in, and I was kept on a very ‘need to know’ basis. Maybe that’s the norm. But it’s a family system. There’s a trust, and there’s a sense of knowledge between the writers and the directors, with Kevin [Feige]… that shows up."
Chris Evans' future in the MCU has been in doubt for quite some time so it would definitely make sense for Stan to take over as the new Captain America as we move into Phase 4 regardless of whether or not Steve will be present in Avengers 4. We'll just have to wait and see but it's definitely good to know that Bucky will be back! What do you guys think? As always, let us know your thoughts in the usual place.
