Winter Soldier Goes Gotham: Why Stan Fits The Batman Part 2
Stan built his star power as Bucky Barnes in the MCU, but he’s itching for fresh turf. Picture him as Harvey Dent/Two-Face—charming DA by day, scarred vigilante by night. His intense stare and everyman charm scream perfect fit for Matt Reeves’ gritty Gotham.
“Sebastian Stan’s fandom will pack theaters just to see Bucky flip to the dark side.”
