Over the years, he has taken on many different roles, from superheroes to real-life figures, and has impressed audiences and critics alike.
In the MCU, Sebastian Stan has played Bucky Barnes, also known as the White Wolf, in many major Marvel films. But outside Marvel, he chooses powerful and emotional roles that show his depth as an actor.
