:0:0

Thunderbolts* star Sebastian Stan opened up about his decades starring in the MCU as Bucky Barnes/the Winter Soldier. He initially debuted in Captain America: The First Avenger, as Steve Rogers" lifelong best friend, before transitioning to more of an anithero role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Stan has since appeared in many MCU films over the last decade, and he co-headlined a Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, alongside fellow Captain America: The Winter Soldier alun Anthony Mackie.
Speaking with Seth Meyers, the star expressed gratitude for his time in the MCU, stating:

"It’s also humbling for me, you know? Because I’ve been able to be with them for close to 15 years now. I mean, I’ve grown up with Marvel, I grew as an actor and with this character, it’s like I have a brother, in a way, a family member I see for Thanksgiving every year. That’s how it feels, and they’re so supportive. And I think if I didn’t have them honestly, I don’t know if I would’ve taken these chances. I’ve been lucky."
