StudioSystemNews.com — While the family crowd turned out in good form this weekend it wasn’t enough to perch the 3D animated musical comedy Rio 2 at the top the box office leaderboard. Instead, Disney’s Marvel superhero movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier kept its place on the pedestal at number one.
The ninth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that took the record as April’s biggest opening ever added another $41.4 million to its current $159 million domestic total. It’s worldwide total now stands at $476 million.
Sebastian attended the celebration of Anthony Mackie in Captain America: The Winter Solider which was held by Big Chef Bowie on April 4th. Sebastian was also joined by Anthony Mackie, Don Bowie, and Frank Grillo.

USAToday.com — It wasn’t long ago that most of the explosions in Sebastian Stan’s on-screen life were of the sort caused by catty teen girls on New York City’s Upper East Side.
The stage-trained actor has left the TV soap-opera drama of Gossip Girl behind. Now, he’s armed with a cool costume, heavy weaponry, an abundance of psychological issues and, well, a metal arm as the complicated antagonist of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Drawing from a Marvel Comics story line, Stan’s Winter Soldier character is actually Bucky Barnes, the best friend and former partner of Captain America (Chris Evans) from World War II.
Like Cap, Bucky was thought to be killed in the line of duty. But instead of being encased in ice for 70 years like his buddy, Bucky was brainwashed and turned into an assassin who now works for Hydra. His mission: Eliminate Cap, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and pretty much anyone who gets in Hydra’s way.
“Bucky had to essentially become like part machine,” says Stan, who reprises the role from 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger.
While the Winter Soldier is essentially a new character, the actor revisited some aspects of Bucky he established in the first movie for continuity’s sake — which are important when Cap and his new foe figure out their connection in the heat of battle.
“Those are some meaty scenes, because it is a meaty concept,” Evans says. “Waking up 70 years later is heavy enough, and then seeing someone you thought was dead — that’s big. And he’s evil!” Continue reading
