Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes in the MCU has opened up about his ongoing role. He says he has a steady handle on his approach to his ever-evolving Marvel Cinematic Universe character.
“It’s really weird, because it just sort of, it’s like riding a bicycle, you never really forget in a way. That’s how I feel,” Stan told Marvel’s Earth’s Mightiest Show. “Once you’re back there, once the arm is on, once the whole experience is complete, it just sort of clicks back in.”
Stan, who has portrayed Bucky in multiple movies since 2011, can easily snap back into his damaged World War II veteran character, however, his time with the character keeps him on his toes because his character is always evolving.
“It was interesting to kind of think of where he might be now, compared to where he started, and how far he’s gone. Because the character is kind of always revealing himself in a new way, even to me,” Stan said. “And that’s sort of been interesting, is you sort of just go with the flow a little bit. And so further on, it’s the same mentality.”
“I mean, the thing about these movies is that we’ve had a lot of them, but there’s always pieces you feel like you can still explore and go back over,” he said. “Every time you play the character you learn something new and you want to go back and do it again, so of course. If it is to get into some of the past, for example, that we haven’t seen, then I’d be down, 100%.”
Stan reprises the role in Avengers 4, out May 3, 2019.
