Sebastian Stan reveals if Bucky Barnes will ever return to politics

Sebastian Stan explains future of Bucky Barnes political career

The biggest surprise in Captain America: Brave New World entailed Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes running for Congress.

In Thunderbolts*, the former Hydra operative ends up winning the seat and becomes Brooklyn's congressman. Later, he puts up his Winter Soldier flag again and joins the Thunderbolts team, which is the New Avengers.

However, it isn’t clear in the movie if Bucky’s political career will continue or not.

Sebastian Stan was asked about it, and he told Entertainment Weekly, "Yeah, it's almost like crossing it out, right?"

He continued, "He's still been trying to find his way of how he can contribute in a way that he hasn't before. Ultimately, he realizes, 'No, I am who I am, and I do things how I do them, and I should just do that.'"

Laughing, he quipped, "But there's a lot of strange congressmen these days anyway, so..."

"The only issue I had was, 'Well, why is he growing out his hair if he's going to be a congressman?!'" the Apprentice star added. "But I still wanted to grow it out, so I was like, 'I don't care.'"

Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier echoed Sebastian Stan’s take, saying, "I think that's pretty well done. I think he's found a new place that makes much more sense for him."
