Marvel grants a wish during Disney’s Wish Week – Good Morning America
“Thunderbolts*” star Sebastian Stan makes one Marvel fan’s dream come true, turning her birthday into an unforgettable experience.
Sebastian Stan still has plenty of XOXO’s for this Gossip Girl alum.
While reflecting on the show’s 19th anniversary, the 42-year-old detailed which of the show’s original cast—which included Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chase Crawford and more—he still keeps in touch with.
“I talk to Chase a lot,” Sebastian told E! News’ Will Marfuggi in an exclusive interview at the Thunderbolts Los Angeles premiere April 28. “I knew him before Gossip Girl so we stayed close. Penn Badgley, I did his podcast at one point—but really Chase.”
And as Sebastian reprises his role of Bucky Barnes for Marvel’s Thunderbolts, which hits theaters May 2, he admitted that his superhero could hold his own against Chase’s The Boys character, The Deep—but he wouldn’t want to put his theory to the test.
“We could also just laugh it out,” he joked. “He’s just brilliant.” (For more from Sebastian and the Thunderbolts cast, tune into E! News tonight, April 29, at 11 p.m.)
All jokes aside, the Marvel star was committed to doing as many stunts as he could for the new movie, which also stars Florence Pugh and David Harbour, which proved to be a difficult undertaking.
“We just don’t have as much time as we used to in preparing,” he admitted. “It’s a little bit like, ‘hurry up and learn it and let’s do it.’”
And The Apprentice star noted that he is starting to feel the toll of getting older.
“That’s really tough,” he continued. “And mentally you’re still like ‘I can do it.’” Still, Sebastian wouldn’t change a thing about how he prepared for the film.
“It’s nice to have a challenge,” he added. “It’s nice to kind of be able to keep coming back to it. The fear and the adrenaline and the excitement kind of blend in together and by the end it’s all fun.”
As he put it, “As long as I can get in there a little bit, I’m grateful.”
Last night was the LA Premiere of ‘Thunderbolts’ and the cast was also featured on Jimmy Kimmel. I’ve added over 200+ UHQ photos as well as over 200+ screen captures to the gallery and videos of the events below. Thank you to Sandra for the assistance. When/if more become available it will be added later today, thanks for being patient.
Shortly after the star-studded Avengers: Doomsday lineup was announced on March 26, Sebastian Stan received a text from an old Marvel pal.
While speaking at a recent press junket for the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Thunderbolts*, Stan, 42, shared the message he received from his The Falcon and the Winter Soldier costar Anthony Mackie. Mackie portrays Sam Wilson/The Falcon while Stan plays Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier.
“I got a text that went, ‘What’s up player’ and I was like, um ‘Not much. How are you?’ ” Stan said, impersonating Mackie, 46, with a laugh.
“And he was like, ‘When you come in, where are you staying at?’ And I was like, uh, ‘I don’t know yet, Anthony. I don’t have my place yet,’ ” Stan added, saying his costar and friend responded with, “Don’t be like that.”
The two have co-starred in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. More recently, they reprised their respective superhero roles in the 2021 Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. At the end of the series, Wilson assumes the role of Captain America from Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers following the events of Avengers: Endgame.
When asked recently by Variety if he would appear in Captain America: Brave New World (Stan makes a brief cameo), Stan noted that he has been preoccupied filming Thunderbolts*.
“[Filming] Thunderbolts*, let me tell you, it was a much quieter year for me because I didn’t see Anthony Mackie,” the actor teased. “So, I’ll say that. Although I miss Anthony Mackie like daily, and it’s something I don’t like to admit.”
As for what Stan thinks of his latest Marvel project, the actor also shared with PEOPLE of the Thunderbolts* cast, “I knew that it was gonna be great just because we all got along.”
“You’re putting a new bunch of people together that you haven’t really tested out before. It’s different when you’re bringing people back and you know their strengths together,” Stan said. “But here we sort of had to figure it out and they were open to that.”
The Thunderbolts are comprised of Stan as Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Olga Kurylenko as Antonio Dreykov/Taskmaster and Wyatt Russell as John Walker/U.S. Agent. Julia Louis-Dreyfus also stars as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, the woman who gathers them together.
Sebastian Stan’s journey to Hollywood isn’t your typical success story. He didn’t grow up in Los Angeles or come from a family in the business. Instead, his story starts in Romania – under a strict government, in a country still dealing with the impact of Communism. From there, he made his way to the United States, built a career on taking risks, and became one of the unique and respected actors in the industry.
Sebastian’s early life was filled with uncertainty. His father, Constantin Stan, worked on cargo ships and secretly helped people escape from Romania, where the government kept a tight grip on its citizens. “He was a bit of a hero in my town,” Sebastian told Vanity Fair in a recent interview. “My parents were part of the youth that were standing up to Communism. My father was helping people escape the country illegally, to the point where he was a wanted man. And he himself had to flee.”
Eventually, his father disappeared completely, going into exile in the United States. Sebastian stayed behind with his mother, Georgeta Orlovschi, a pianist. She first fled to Vienna to get settled, then brought Sebastian to join her. Not long after, they moved to the US to start over.
Even after all these years, Romania is still a big part of who Sebastian is. Growing up under a harsh government taught him to be aware of power and how it can be misused – something he still thinks about today in his life in America. He also understands the immigrant experience in a personal way. “I have always made the argument that immigrants, to some extent, are more patriotic than even the people that are born here because they don’t take things for granted,” he said in his Vanity Fair interview.
Sebastian’s acting career didn’t take off right away. He didn’t fit the usual Hollywood image, but that worked in his favour. He started taking on roles that were a little different – more complex, darker, and sometimes even a bit strange. From Bucky Barnes in the ‘Captain America’ films, to his performances in ‘I, Tonya’, ‘Pam and Tommy’, and ‘Fresh’, he’s always chosen characters that are interesting and unexpected.
In 2024, he gave the people two big films – ‘A Different Man’ and ‘The Apprentice’. For the first film, he received a Golden Globe for Best Actor. For the second one, he became an Oscar-nominated actor.
After years of hard work and quietly building an impressive career, Sebastian is finally getting the attention he deserves. In 2025, he was honoured at the Golden Globes, a moment that felt long overdue for fans and critics alike.
For a long time, Sebastian Stan was best known as Bucky Barnes – the Winter Soldier – in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). His work across the ‘Captain America’ films and beyond earned him a loyal fan base, but let’s be honest: most of the spotlight was on Chris Evans as Captain America. And fair enough – Evans nailed that role and became the face of a franchise.
But that often meant Stan didn’t get quite the credit he deserved. His version of Bucky was intense, emotional, and complex – a man struggling with trauma, guilt, and identity. It wasn’t just a supporting role; it was a masterclass in subtle, layered acting.
And outside of Marvel? Stan’s really shown what he’s capable of. He’s taken on a wide range of roles, proving he’s not just a superhero sidekick but a seriously talented lead. In ‘I, Tonya’, he transformed into Jeff Gillooly with both awkwardness and edge. In ‘Pam and Tommy’, he completely disappeared into the role of Tommy Lee. Then there’s the twisted charm of ‘Fresh’, the creepy intensity of ‘The Devil All the Time’, and the quiet mystery of ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’.
He’s also not afraid to take risks. Whether he’s playing a real-life figure like Donald Trump in ‘The Apprentice’, or diving into dark, psychologically challenging roles, Stan always brings a level of depth and commitment that makes you sit up and pay attention.
Sebastian Stan didn’t follow the traditional path to stardom. He carved out his own path, breaking through cultural and industry expectations along the way. His story is a powerful reminder that where you start doesn’t have to define where you end up – and that being different can be your biggest strength.
