Sebastian Stan Reveals He Would Like to Play the Riddler in the DCU

by

As a longtime fan of Sebastian Stan‘s work, I must say that his journey has been nothing short of captivating. From Bucky Barnes to Donald Trump, he’s proven his versatility and adaptability as an actor. His recent interview with Josh Horowitz hinted at some exciting possibilities for the future, particularly his expressed interest in playing a DC Comics character – The Riddler!

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the character of Bucky Barnes played by Sebastian Stan has significantly contributed to his acting career, making him well-known and sought after. Although he’s not the main character, his well-crafted development and impactful scenes have resonated with audiences.

Absolutely, since that time, Stan has been involved with numerous ventures, such as the forthcoming films “The Apprentice” in which he portrays Donald Trump, and “Thunderbolts,” where he reprises his role as Bucky Barnes. This is a thrilling phase in Stan’s professional journey, and we eagerly anticipate more developments.

Following this, Stan had a chat with Josh Horowitz in an interview where they delved into various aspects of his career, such as upcoming projects, aspirations, and goals. It was revealed during this discussion that he harbors a strong interest in playing an intriguing DC Comics character in the future.

It’s common knowledge that Sebastian Stan is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) family, and it’s uncommon for actors to switch to the DC Universe (DCU). Although minor crossovers have occurred, there haven’t been significant transfers between these two significant fictional worlds. However, actors sometimes hint at such switches, and Sebastian Stan recently did so in an interview with Josh Horowitz.

In case you’re unable to open the video for some reason, here is how the talk played out:

JH: Might you consider taking on another superhero character in the future? Perhaps venturing into the world of DC Comics… After all, every actor eventually tackles roles like Hamlet or Batman.

SS: I don’t know if Batman’s for me, but like…

JH: You’ve got the chin. You got the…

In other words, I initially thought that saying “never” was out of the question. Truthfully, there are countless characters, and as you might recall, I’ve always had a soft spot for The Riddler. However, since that character has already been explored extensively, perhaps we could consider another intriguing character instead.

JH: Yeah, Dano took it. Well, give it five years it’ll come back around.

Hey there! I was really hoping to play a character in the DC Universe, just like Dano did, but it looks like he’s already got that role nailed down. He’s done an incredible job, no doubt about it. But here’s the thing – Dano isn’t part of the DCU yet, so there’s still a chance I could step into the shoes of the Riddler. Fingers crossed!

Before we conclude, here’s what the fans think of this:

Could honestly see Sebastian Stan being a great villain, would be cool for sure

It makes me curious to think about whether there’s ever any opposition in casting these Marvel and DC productions, considering the actor or actress might have been part of a rival movie before.
