Sebastian Stan Reveals Major Franchise Role He Almost Got Before Bucky Barnes Debut, And I Would Have Liked To See This Happen
Initially, Sebastian Stan gained recognition from his role on Gossip Girl, but it was his casting as Bucky Barnes (later known as the Winter Soldier) in Captain America: The First Avenger that brought him international acclaim. If events had taken a different course, Stan might have portrayed Captain Kirk in the Star Trek series instead. Although I’m happy with his success in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I would have been intrigued to see how he would have tackled the role of this famous sci-fi character.
