Marvel's Secrecy Made Filming Avengers: Endgame Hard For Sebastian Stan

Sebastian Stan, who plays Winter Soldier James «Bucky» Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, says that filming for Avengers: Endgame was troublesome for him due to studio secrecy. Endgame came on the heels of the third Avengers team-up film, Avengers: Infinity War, and was the franchise’s most ambitious project to date as it featured nearly every hero that had been introduced in the MCU. The movie picks up in the aftermath of Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) devastating snap that he used to wipe out half of all life in the universe. Stan’s Bucky was among the lives lost during Infinity War, but he was brought back during Endgame thanks to the efforts of the heroes who survived the now-infamous snap.

Bucky made his MCU debut in Captain America: The First Avenger alongside Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers, who was the MCU’s Captain America up until the finale of Endgame. Bucky and Steve served in World War II together before Bucky seemingly died in combat. However, the pair reunited nearly seventy years later in Captain America: The Winter Soldier when Bucky, who had been kept alive and turned into a brainwashed Super Soldier called the Winter Soldier, attacked Steve. Unwilling to accept that his lifelong friend was lost, Steve helped Bucky remember who he was and the two teamed up as friends again in Captain America: Civil War.
