Sebastian Stan on Dream MCU Prequels and the Characters He Wants to Revive

‘Thunderbolts*’ is just one of many MCU projects releasing next year, but fans have plenty of reasons to be excited about the movie. The movie is set to introduce a completely new team of misfits to the MCU, an equivalent of DC’s Suicide Squad.

It’s also going to mark the introduction of Marvel’s most powerful superhero – Sentry. There’s also the fact that many of MCU’s anti-heroes and former villains will reprise their roles, most popular among them being Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes aka the Winter Soldier.

Stan recently made an appearance at Comic-Con Liverpool and covered a variety of topics including which MCU prequels he would like to make and which character he would love to see revived in the MCU.

Stan was answering fan questions when he was asked if he could go back and film a prequel to any film in the MCU which prequels he would love to make. Stan expressed interest in two MCU prequel projects: one focusing on Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes’ friendship before ‘Captain America: The First Avenger,’ and another exploring the Winter Soldier’s backstory, specifically his time training Black Widow.

Um, I mean we could probably do with a prequel before ‘Captain America: The First Avenger, so we could really like learn, maybe more about their friendship. Their relationship, you know. I don’t know.

Or we can even do a prequel to before ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ where we’re actually seeing what happened you know, with him. We never really explore that. We always see him towards the very end of his Winter Soldier Arc. But when he had this other double life you know, where I don’t know, he taught like Black Widow how to be Black Widow.

I mean it might be interesting to see, again if you guys are interested, we’ll see.

The next question was related to the ‘Thunderbolts*’ trailer. During one of the scenes, we can see Bucky pulling his vibranium arm out of the dishwasher. Stan explained how the scene came to be:

I’m pretty sure he [Bucky] looked at the dishwasher one day and thought, “why not? Makes a lot of sense.” I thought it was kind of funny when I first saw that in the script. But it is a quick way of doing it at the end of the day. Just throw it in there with a couple of leftover dishes and stuff, so I think it was his idea.

The last interesting question was related to the characters that Stan would like to bring back to the MCU. Stan joked that no one is really gone in the MCU but admitted that he would like to bring Steve and Natasha back.

Do I want Steve back? Steve Rogers should come back. I think that would be fun. Who else? Natasha, obviously, there’s about 27 films with Natasha that haven’t been done yet that I keep pushing for but yeah. There you go.

We can’t argue with Stan’s logic and makes sense that he would love for the characters involved with his own personal story to return. However, both the position of Captain America and Black Widow in the MCU are currently taken by Sam Wilson and Yelena Belova, this doesn’t rule out the prequels.
