Colin Farrell said he would have been more than happy to vocalise your giant monster. He is a tad offended you didn't call…

35:46 That was a pretty drastic and creepy change in tone of voice. Potential Batman villain slip?

He keeps falling into the New York accent in his commentary on The Apprentice. And I don't think even even realizes it; it's just slipping out subconsciously as he speaks about the film lol

Looking at the chapters and I don't see The Covenant which is insane, that was like his breakout role
@sandyap
October 12, 2026 at 5:56 am
sir, why is the MCU role year is 2011-2026 not 2011-present???? and then the talk about death at the end? is there something else you wanna tell us Mr. Stan? …

There a correction needed. Marvel Cinematic Universe 2011- TIL THE END OF TIME. More Accurate

his acting as Bucky Barnes is possibly the most vivid out of the whole mcu, he completely embodies the tragedy of the character, and it's a thrill to follow his path in each occurrence

20 minutes for Chrisrian Bale's career and 40 minutes for this guy to talk about being in capeshit and gossip girl

If they ever make a Gord Downie biopic, they should cast Sebastian Stan. He looks just like him here

He looks so much like Mark Hamill. So much like Luke Skywalker. It is insane

I was a fan of him before he even got into the MCU, so I'm so happy for him for the chances that this offered him.
I love Bucky though 😉
