Few people deny that Marvel Studios has been in the doldrums of late, but it’s managed to turn out some hits and absolutely destroyed the box office this summer with “Deadpool and Wolverine.” This explains why Sebastian Stan is still defending House of M.
The veteran Marvel actor, better known as Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier, has recently been promoting his work on The Apprentice – in which he plays Donald Trump Trump — and he’s taking every opportunity to push back against the haters and vitriolic critics of the Marvel Universe because he believes the movies and shows are “an important part that contributes to the business and allows us to make smaller movie.

No matter how you feel about Marvel Studios now, he’s not wrong. Big franchise movies and shows partly fund smaller projects that not as many people are interested in watching. Putting aside the average quality of each product, this is reality. Titles like Marvel or Star Wars can bring in big bucks, so studios can try to push more original and/or smaller projects into their release calendars.
In a wide-ranging interview with GQ published on October 7, the actor once again expressed his honest thoughts on the Marvel discussion and dilemma as a whole.
“I’ve never been part of a company that put so much heart and thought into anything… I think if Marvel went away, that would be a big hole to try to fill. Don’t just go there and fail to deliver something better.” peeing on something,” he said. This time around, it sounds like he’s deflecting fair criticism, too, but he’s also pointing out that Marvel will be a huge chunk of Hollywood’s business at a time when theatrical experiences often fumble. For film and television crews, the regular work that a production of this magnitude provides is a godsend, so it’s easy to see where he’s coming from.
His next Marvel project will be Days of Thunder* (not a typo), an event movie filled with characters who aren’t exactly heroes. He joked that we might see a little bit of Trump in Bucky Barnes as he tried to “exorcise” him while filming the blockbuster. “Then I went to Marvel [The Apprentice]… When we were shooting a scene, I would do something, one or two things, and be like, ‘Fuck! It still lives somewhere.
Although Stan co-stars with Anthony Mackie in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , he will reportedly not appear in Captain America: Brave New World , marking the beginning of Marvel’s theatrical resurgence in 2025 Start Studios ranks alongside Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four.
