This article argues that Sebastian Stan's performance as Bucky Barnes in the MCU has been consistently excellent but hasn't received the same level of recognition as other top-tier actors in the franchise.
Following their recent Golden Globe win, I'm even more confident that the MCU has been underutilizing one of their best actors for the last 14 years. Having made his MCU debut as Bucky Barnes in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, Sebastian Stan has consistently been one of Marvel 's most solid performers. However, he has not yet enjoyed a spotlight as big as other A-list stars featured in the MCU .
Debuting as Steve Rogers' best friend Bucky Barnes, Sebastian Stan's beloved MCU character has endured quite the dark journey following his capture and brainwashing by Hydra, forcing Bucky to serve as The Winter Soldier, one of their top assassins from WWII up until 2016's Captain America: Civil War. Following the breaking of Hydra's control over his mind, Bucky has been striving to redeem his dark past. That said, Bucky Barnes' journey has always felt secondary in the MCU, despite the dynamic performances from Sebastian Stan (which I'm hoping will change soon). Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes Has Been A Standout Of The MCU For 13 Years Without A Lead Role Providing Some Stellar Performances as The Winter Soldier Close A member of the original Captain America's Howling Commandos, Bucky and his evolution from WWII hero and one of Rogers' closest friends into a dark brainwashed assassin is ripped straight from the comics, and Sebastian Stan's portrayal over the years has often been cited as one of the MCU's very best characters. As such, Stan has provided some brilliant dynamics and dimension to the character over the years. This is especially true once Bucky's brainwashing and Hydra's mental triggers are broken, returning to Barnes the free will he'd been without for decades. Likewise, Bucky's attempts to redeem himself while grappling with the sins he had no control over (yet still felt responsible for) are fascinating to watch, particularly in 2021's Captain America & The Winter Soldie
