Sebastian Stan Compares ‘Thunderbolts*’ to ‘The Breakfast Club’

Sebastian Stan’s star is on the rise as he takes on a wider array of roles and scored his first Golden Globe the other night for his performance in A Different Man. But Stan has been a fan favorite member of the MCU since his debut in Captain America: The First Avenger and he will be returning to Bucky Barnes this summer in Thunderbolts*.

While being interviewed by Deadline, they asked about him being part of the upcoming Marvel feature that pulled together various supporting characters from other franchises. The actor said that the new film will be “its own thing” and says,

“I don’t feel you can compare it to any previous Marvel movie, and that’s because of the group of characters in this film and these actors. I couldn’t have had a better time than I did with David Harbour, Florence Pugh, Wyatt Russell, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I mean, every single one of these people are funny, they’re generous, and so I think a lot of that chemistry did make it into the movie, and I’m excited for people to see that. It’s a little bit like The Breakfast Club. It has its own vibe, and it’s funny, and it’s real, and we did actual real stunts, like when you’re watching a truck blow up, it’s a truck blown up. It’s not CGI. Marvel really wanted this to have its own- there were many things in the movie that were actually done practically, and I think that does go a long way, because people are just smart. I think audiences just, they know.” 

Thunderbolts* will be released on May 2nd, 2025.
