Sebastian Stan, renowned for his portrayal of the Winter Soldier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently opened up about his career struggles before landing this pivotal role. In a candid interview with Vanity Fair, Stan revealed how a $65,000 residuals payment from his role in the 2010 film Hot Tub Time Machine essentially "saved" him financially.
Stan played the antagonist Blaine in the American science fiction comedy Hot Tub Time Machine. Just before he was cast as James "Bucky" Barnes in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, he found himself in a challenging position. "I was actually struggling with work," Stan confessed. "I had just gotten off the phone with my business manager, who told me I was saved by $65,000 that came in residuals from Hot Tub Time Machine."
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige expressed the studio's early interest in Stan for the role of the Winter Soldier. Despite being relatively unknown at the time, Feige saw immense potential in him. "You could see that he has so much inside him and so much behind his eyes. I’ll never forget that," Feige remarked. He further shared with Stephen Broussard, one of the producers on *Captain America*, his confidence in Stan's future impact, saying, "He’s going to be a good Bucky, but he’s going to be a great Winter Soldier."Since his debut as Bucky Barnes, Stan has reprised his role in several MCU films, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), various Avengers movies, and the recent Captain America: Brave New World. Fans can look forward to seeing him in the upcoming Thunderbolts. Moreover, Stan's inclusion in the cast of Avengers: Doomsday suggests that Bucky will continue to be a significant presence in the Marvel universe.
