Sebastian Stan Says ‘If Marvel Was Gone’ It’d Leave a ‘Big Hole,’ Tells Off MCU Haters: ‘Don’t Just S— on Something Without Offering Something Better’ (variety.com)

“It’s become really convenient to pick on [Marvel films],” Sebastian Stan said. “And that’s fine. Everyone’s got an opinion. But they’re a big part of what contributes to this business and allows us to have smaller movies as well. This is an artery traveling through the system of this entire machinery that’s Hollywood. It feeds in so many more ways than people acknowledge.”

“Sometimes I get protective of it because the intention is really fucking good,” Stan added at the time. “It’s just fucking hard to make a good movie over and over again.”

Stan’s Bucky/Winter Soldier will be front and center in next year’s Marvel tentpole “Thunderbolts,” and he hopes the character stays around long enough to meet Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom on the big screen.

“I hope I’m in a scene with him,” Stan says. “Is there any other guy that could pull that off? I don’t know, probably not. After ‘Tropic Thunder,’ is there anything that guy can’t do?”

It definitely isn't healthy, but that's where we are right now. Too few people are willing to watch original respectively smaller movies.

Which means fewer such movies are made and it's harder for actors to get these roles. There is a reason why so many established movie actors are in TV shows nowadays.

I don't know enough about the inner workings of Hollywood to comment on the idea that Marvel is a big part of the Hollywood ecosystem

Sebastian Stan is starring as Donald Trump in a movie right now. Never ever would he have gotten that role if not for Marvel boosting his career and rising his profile.
