Last month
Marvel Studios finally confirmed who would play
Captain America. Today more casting news has broke surrounding the highly anticipated comic book film "
The First Avenger: Captain America."
Marvel has revealed their final decision on who will play Captain America's sidekick,
Bucky Barnes.
Sebastian Stan from
Hot Tub Time Machine and televisions
Gossip Girl will play
Bucky Barnes. Read the full report after the break...
Sebastian Stan has been inked for a multiple film deal with
Marvel Studios. The 26 year-old actor will play the
faithful sidekick to
Captain America who fights alongside him throughout WWII. While Stan has been linked to a multiple film deal, no confirmation was made that his contract included any spin-off films following Bucky's later character
Winter Soldier. *I really hope that there is a Winter Soldier film somewhere in Marvel's future.
I've never watched
Gossip Girl, however I have seen
Sebastian Stan in a few of his roles and I have to say, he should fill in nicely as Bucky. I won't say he's my first pick or even someone I would've considered, but now that the deal is done, I'm on board to see what he could do.
Marvel has yet to reveal any of Bucky Barnes character development in "
The First Avenger: Captain America," but here's a little refresher on his comic book backstory.
James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes was a orphan, his father was killed in training prior to the War and as a result the military adopted him. Later nicknamed Bucky, he quickly became a fixture of the
Army Camp in Lehigh Virginia. It is here that he befriends
Steve Rogers only to later learn of Rogers identity as
Captain America. Bucky insists on fighting alongside Cap's and undergoes intense military training. The U.S. military even justifies sending a young teen into battle as a way to rally the youth of the United States. Barnes and Captain America spent much of WWII fighting side by side against
Nazis, the
Red Skull and the evil
Baron Zemo. Clearly this is just origin and
Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely's script could have completely changed Bucky's backstory and role, but I would bet that they stick pretty close to
Joe Simon and
Jack Kirby's original invention.
