Newsarama was able to sit down with star, Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier) in a recent interview. Here’s a couple of questions that I pulled from the article. You can read the rest of it over at Newsarama.
On his number of Marvel Films contract
Sebastian Stan: “Uh…I think…I think I actually have nine.”
Nrama: “Did you know, going into the first Captain America movie as Bucky, that you’d be doing the Winter Soldier in the second?”
Stan: “I did, and I didn’t. It was a “maybe.” It led me to prepare myself for this just in case, but I’m not the guy who gets to shoot the movies. When we wrapped, I had no idea if we’d be back. A lot of that has to do with fan response, the public response. But I did really hope that I’d be back to play this character again.”
Nrama: How much do you really care about it [the film]? How much do you get out of reading that original source material?
Stan: “A lot. I’m certainly not contractually obligated to say that; it’s just the truth. Look, at the end of the day, you essentially take a year of your life, and make it about this movie. It takes six months to shoot it, another two months re-shooting it and going back for ADR [additional dialogue recording], and another three months talking to press about it. So you’d better love what you’re doing, right? You’re giving a year of your life to this. And you’re lucky to do that. In my case, I get to be lucky enough to do this for multiple years. So yeah, you have to learn about the character, love the character, and for me, there was no question—I had to read up, as much as I could. And fortunately, I’m not building from scratch here. There’s plenty of stories and material that tell you that Bucky acts a certain way, and there are plenty of fans who are very opinionated and will help you find out more and appreciate it all. I wanted to make sure I was doing everything right.”
EDIT {3/15/14}: Sebastian Stan also does another interview with AMC Movie Talk the day after the red carpet premiere of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which you can read and watch here.
