The actor will appear on the big screen as a former president and a Marvel superhero in the coming months, which he filmed around the same time.

Thunderbolts*, directed by Jake Schreier, sees Stan’s Bucky Barnes collide with a collection of morally grey Marvel characters like Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), Antonia Dreykov (Olga Kurylenko), and the ever-mysterious Bob (Lewis Pullman).

Next year will see Sebastian Stan step onto the screen as Bucky Barnes, AKA the Winter Soldier, for the first time in almost half a decade in Marvel's Thunderbolts * – and the actor says he never could have guessed where the character would end up.
