Sebastian Stan Weighs In On Fans Hoping For Romance Between CAPTAIN AMERICA And BUCKY
When #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend started trending, Bucky's name was inevitably the most popular suggestion. Sebastian Stan weighs in on that here and his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe...
Sebastian Stan's future as Bucky has been left up in the air after the events of Captain America: Civil War, and while speculation is running rampant that he'll reprise the role in Black Panther, the actor remains uncertain about what's next for the character. However, it definitely sounds like he'll return soon enough. "There will be, I just don’t know when," he said of returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "It’s kind of like this weird mystery. It’s fun and nerve-wracking. The best way to describe it is that you just get a phone call one day that’s like “You’re going to report to set.” and off you go. We all get along really well so it’s really fun. My relationship with Anthony Mackie is one of the perks of my life, knowing that man. It’s fun. It’s very collaborative. Everyone knows what the goal is, we all want to make something that’s great and different and that surprises fans. We all just assume our roles in the puzzle. There’s no drama." That's vague, but Black Panther still seems most likely.
GQ then went on to ask Stan how he feels about the obsession some fans have with Captain America and Bucky being an item (the disturbing fan-art I came across while looking for the image above will haunt my nightmares). The actor explained that while he likes seeing people make these heroes their own, he doesn't see things playing out that way for these two. "Look, man, I think it’s great. Movies are for people to relate to in whatever way the want. No one here is ever going to point a finger and say what’s right and wrong. For me, it’s like Awww. It’s cute, it’s great. If someone takes the time to think about that, thats great. I don’t think of the character that way, though. But there’s no right or wrong answer." Would you like to see these two as an item on the big screen? Stranger things have happened in the past, so be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
