Sebastian Stan Half-Jokingly Pitched a 'Sicario-esque' Bucky Barnes Movie to MCU Boss Kevin Feige

Winter Soldier actor Sebastian Stan proposed a Bucky Barnes solo movie to Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige. Speaking to New York Magazine, Stan said the concept was inspired by the film Sicario. He pitched it as a smaller, less expensive film focusing on Bucky's personal mission. Stan admitted his pitch was half-joking but noted Feige found it intriguing.

The narrative would revolve around a man seeking answers about someone from his past, leading to a thrilling journey. Marvel Studios often embraces unique projects, as seen with Ghost Rider. Stan's idea, despite its jocular tone, could provide fresh content for the franchise, giving a prominent role to Bucky after decades in the background.

Stan continues to appear in upcoming Marvel projects, including Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. Bucky Barnes might even return from a potential death in future films, a strategy Marvel has used before with other characters. Stan also stars in The Batman Part 2, where he is rumored to play Harvey Dent/Two-Face. His appearance is shrouded in mystery, given his current bald looks.
