Avengers: Infinity War was the fourth movie Stan has starred in, following Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, which represents just under half of his whopping nine-picture deal with Marvel.
During a new interview with CNBC Next, Sebastian Stan revealed he actually tried out for the Captain America role in Captain America: The First Avenger, but he was turned down for that role, told by Marvel that he was not “right for the part,” that ultimately went to Chris Evans.
Still, it’s even possible that Stan will ultimately get to play Captain America some day in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, since the original Cap, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), put down his shield at the end of Captain America: Civil War, and he didn’t wear his iconic Captain America outfit in Avengers: Infinity War.
Stan eventually landed the role of Cap’s childhood friend Bucky Barnes.
