In an interview with GQ for his upcoming non-MCU film The Apprentice, Stan was asked about Avengers: Doomsday and, more specifically, Robert Downey Jr.’s return. Stan is no stranger to sharing an MCU screen with RDJ after multiple appearances together as Bucky Barnes and Tony Stark/Iron Man respectively:
“I hope I’m in a scene with him. Is there any other guy that could pull that off? I don’t know, probably not. After Tropic Thunder , is there anything that guy can’t do?”
What Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Dreams Mean For Avengers 5
Bucky May Be Set For A Role As An Avenger
While Stan’s reverence for RDJ and overall excitement for the actor’s MCU return is nice to see, his comments hold a more interesting prospect for the franchise’s future. Stan mentioned that he hopes he has a scene with RDJ’s Doctor Doom, seemingly indicating a role for Bucky in Avengers: Doomsday‘s story. Thus far, the only cast members outside of Downey Jr. that have been confirmed for Avengers 5 include those of The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange, with more of these announcements likely coming in 2025.
That said, Stan has all but confirmed that Bucky will be part of Avengers 5. The actor’s comments do not seem to reflect someone who is hoping to be in the movie, nor does Stan commit to the usual disclaimer that he has not been in contact about the Avengers movies often found in interviews with Marvel stars. As such, Stan’s dream for Bucky regarding Avengers 5 could mean the former Winter Solider has a role in the unfolding story of the Multiverse Saga beyond the intriguing story of Thunderbolts*.
Our Take On Sebastian Stan’s Avengers 5 Hopes
Stan’s Avengers 5 Comments Highlight One Of The More Exciting Aspects Of The Movie
While my excitement for Avengers 5 is likely to be diminished given the return of the Russo Brothers and RDJ, Stan’s comments have filled me with a new kind of hope for the movie that I somehow had ignored previously. As Stan’s hopes for Bucky’s role in the film point out, there will be several former MCU actors who have shared the screen with RDJ’s Iron Man who will confront Doctor Doom. Many have made jokes in the form of online memes about how this will affect characters like Spider-Man, but, for me, Stan’s comments put it into perspective.
The impact of someone who looks like Tony Stark being a multiverse-threatening villain will drastically recontextualize Tony Stark’s legacy, presented through the eyes of those who knew him…
It is not only characters who were closely related to Iron Man that will be taken aback by Doom’s appearance but just about every being in the MCU. The impact of someone who looks like Tony Stark being a multiverse-threatening villain will drastically recontextualize Tony Stark’s legacy, presented through the eyes of those who knew him, like Bucky. While this opens a potential can of worms regarding how Avengers: Doomsday will handle the idea of Iron Man’s legacy, it also provides me – and many others – with a lot to be excited about in terms of the film’s character dynamics.
