Sebastian Stan Thankful That Chris Hemsworth S Thor And Bucky Are Still Alive In Mcu

It’s a new day for the MCU.

Phase 4

technically kicked off with

WandaVision

(since

Black Widow

STILL hasn’t been released) and is now following up with

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

, which recently debuted on Friday, March 19.

The

first episode

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

focused on Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes dealing with their respective pasts as the world struggles to carry on in the wake of the events of

Avengers: Endgame

Much like his character Bucky Barnes, Sebastian Stan understands better than most both the past and present of the MCU. Recently, he shared what it’s like being one of the last OG Avengers still standing as the MCU moves forward into Phase 4 and the new frontier of series-style storytelling on Disney+.

SEBASTIAN STAN THANKFUL THAT BUCKY BARNES LIVES

In an interview with

, Sebastian Stan reflected on how he and Chris Hemsworth are the only remaining original characters left in the MCU and how it’s something that he "

couldn’t be more thankful for

“A friend of mine was saying, ‘It’s basically you and Thor left now.’ Look, I haven’t spent the time working it out, but if you think about it, between Robert [Downey Jr] as Iron Man [gone] and Chris [Evans], there aren’t many of the very first original characters left. Me and [Chris] Hemsworth might be the oldest ones around – which, I mean, I couldn’t be more thankful for!”

But according to Stan, what Kevin Feige and Marvel’s writers have in store for his character always comes with Marvel’s signature brand of secrecy and unpredictability.

He claimed getting an MCU script in a sealed envelope "

feels like

Pulp Fiction

or something

, “…whenever you’re involved in a Marvel project, whatever year, film or show, it’s always the same process: whatever country you are in, even with Covid, there are two people who show up with a sealed brown envelope. They sit there and hand you this thing and it feels like

Pulp Fiction

or something.”

In regards to his character’s mortality, a recurring theme with Marvel these days à la

Endgame

and

WandaVision

, Stan always hopes to

make it to the end!

“You sit there and open a file and there’s a script and then you’re like, ‘Oh, God. I hope I make it to the end!’ And every time you think, ‘This is gonna be it…’ And, so far, those experiences have felt like Christmas morning. But when it’s time, it’s time, you know?”

STAN IS STILL STANDING

As they say, life imitates art, and that certainly seems to be the case with Sebastian Stan’s

Bucky Barnes

and Chris Hemsworth’s

Thor

Both characters are the last of the original MCU characters, coming in at 106 and over 1,500 years old respectively!

But Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, in particular, is worth noting considering he’s not just a veteran character in the MCU’s new phase of storytelling. The World War II soldier also a veteran character in the new medium of Disney+ through which Marvel is choosing to tell its stories.

WandaVision

was groundbreaking for Marvel as the studio’s first Disney+ series and was largely considered a success, but

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

is a very different show and more true to the MCU’s typical, action-packed style. Time will tell how it compares and just how much it contributes.

In a way, it can be said that both Bucky and the MCU are in it together as they learn to balance the past with the present and come to terms with change.
