Chris Evans Is Captain America, But Sebastian Stan Names Another Avenger As His Favorite

on

When asked which Avenger is his favorite, Sebastian Stan chose someone who is, technically, associated with the Marvel team: Chris Evans.

Most of us know that Chris Evans is Captain America, and Sebastian Stan had some scenes with him as Bucky Barnes in Captain America and The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron. However, in an interview with the WSJ , Sebastian Stan said a surprising answer when he was asked who his favorite fellow Avenger is.

Sebastian Stan names his favorite Avenger, but instead of picking Captain America like Bucky Barnes would, he says it's Chris Evans. These days, Stan is drumming up buzz for his turn as Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in the Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy, but he remains best known for playing Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier, in the MCU. He's appeared in 5 movies so far (7 if one counts post-credits scenes), and last year he stepped into the spotlight with his first leading role in the franchise with the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

That 6-episode show saw him suit up alongside Anthony Mackie, but for the most part, Stan's time in the MCU has been defined by Bucky's story with Steve Rogers (Evans). 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger cemented the two as lifelong best friends, and the subsequent movies tracked their deep bond as it endured world-ending conflicts, UN-imposed laws, and Bucky's brainwashing. Though Steve opted to return to the past at the end of Avengers: Endgame, Bucky stayed in the present. Fans are still waiting to hear where he might turn up next.

Stan, along with the rest of the Pam & Tommy cast, recently sat down with Vanity Fair to test how well they know each other. When it was Stan's turn to quiz his castmates, he presented them with an interesting question: Who is his favorite Avenger? Nick Offerman questioned whether Groot was a viable answer, and Lily James and Taylor Schilling eventually guessed Ant-Man. However, Stan then admitted that he wrote down Chris Evans, much to Seth Rogan's amusement. "I put Chris Evans," Stan said. "As himself."

Stan's friendship with Evans, much like Bucky's with Steve, has long been a source of amusement among fans. Last year while promoting The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Stan and Mackie competed to see who was Evans' ultimate best friend, but it was Mackie who came away victorious. Nevertheless, Stan and Evans appear to be genuinely good buddies, and they're always a delight onscreen together. With Evans no longer in the MCU, it remains to be seen if they might ever act opposite each other ever again. Of course, if last year's reports of Evans returning as Captain America are true, then perhaps there's no need to despair over such a thing.

Right now, though, Stan's best MCU friendship remains the one he has with Mackie. The chemistry between the pair is so excellent that it paved the way for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Mackie is set to return as Sam Wilson in the upcoming Captain America 4, and it seems likely that Stan could join him. Right now, nothing has been confirmed, but it's safe to say fans would love to see the two of them team up again in the future.

Also, don’t worry, Stan isn’t an evil assassin. He’s just saying that Evans is his favorite Avenger, not Cap. Joss Whedon previously said in 2014 that since Steve Rogers has been asleep for most of the film, that he hadn’t even been able to work with Evans yet. We know what I really want to know is who does Stan consider to be his favorite hero.
