Sebastian Stan Explains Why Bucky Didn’t Get The Shield In Avengers: Endgame

As all the outpouring of love for it on social media today – for its first anniversary – makes clear, Avengers: Endgame is a phenomenally popular entry in the MCU. Having said that, there are still a lot of fans who have problems with the way it wraps up some of the characters’ storylines. One of the biggest talking points is Steve’s decision to hand his shield, and therefore the mantle of Captain America, to Sam Wilson instead of Bucky Barnes, his oldest, dearest friend.

The filmmakers have defended this decision before, as has Bucky himself, Sebastian Stan. But in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Winter Soldier has yet again offered his thoughts on why Steve made the right call in the movie. And his latest comments may just sway a few fans over to his way of thinking.

“That’s where I felt like the character was at the end of Avengers: Endgame. It’s also what he wanted for Steve. Like anybody that ends up traumatized by a war experience, he was affected by it for the rest of his life. So, what felt like a desire there was for a restart — for him and for Steve in a way. It didn’t necessarily feel like the shield was gonna be that.

Steve going back in time and saying, ‘I’m gonna take something for me now. I’ve been here for all these guys, and I’ve done the best I could. I’m just a man, and I’m going to go back and try to live my life.’ I feel that is something that Bucky would want for his best friend, and at the same time, Steve is saying to Bucky, ‘You’re going to go and do that, too. I’m not going to put this thing on you. We’re both going to live our lives — the lives that were actually taken from us back in the ‘40s when we enlisted.’ So, that’s where I felt they were at the end of the movie.”

This is an interesting way of looking at it, and not one that many folks have considered before. Most of the critics don’t like how it feels as if Steve is sidelining Bucky and giving a great gift to Sam. Stan, however, sees the fact that Steve doesn’t burden Bucky with the mantle of Captain America as the real gift, as he’s giving him the opportunity to find a life away from the battlefield, just like he did with Peggy Carter in the past.

The only hitch to this interpretation is that it doesn’t look like Bucky’s going to retire anytime soon. He’ll return alongside Sam in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, for instance, where the pair will come up against both old enemy Baron Zemo and the government’s own choice for the new Cap, John Walker AKA U.S. Agent. Is Stan hinting that Bucky will be done with the superhero gig at the end of the show, though? Could be.

Is Sam the right choice for the next Captain America? Or was Bucky shortchanged in Avengers: Endgame? Sound off with your opinion in the comments section below.

The Internet’s Calling Out Extraction For Using Yellow Filter To Depict Bangladesh

Chances are if you’ve hopped on Netflix within the past couple of days, you’ve probably seen a trailer or listing for Extraction, the latest film from Marvel stalwart Chris Hemsworth and first-time director Sam Hargrave. In fact, there are a few more Marvel connections that you might not know about.

For instance, before finding himself in the director’s chair, Hargrave served as the stunt coordinator for Avengers: Endgame, Infinity War and Captain America: Civil War, while Extraction‘s screenplay was penned by none other than Joe Russo, the co-director of those three MCU movies.

The film’s star power probably helped propel it to the top of Netflix’s most-watched charts, but despite its popularity, it’s come under fire for its excessive violence, white savior tropes and now, its use of a yellow filter during moments set in Bangladesh. As reported by BuzzFeed, comparisons between behind-the-scenes camera footage and clips from the final release show that the creative team opted to include a post-process filter which portrays Bangladesh as rather yellow – a far cry from how it actually looks. And obviously, the internet is not too happy about it.

Interestingly, this sort of practice has been around for quite some time. Recently, it was popularized by Breaking Bad (which opted to use a yellow filter to explicitly distinguish if a scene was set south of the border or not), but plenty of other movies have used yellow filters in warmer, tropical climates. However, it tends to be utilized when filming in third-world countries, which helps perpetuate the idea that developing nations are less clean and pristine than their first-world counterparts.

At the time of writing, Netflix have yet to comment on the matter, but we’ll be sure to let you know if anything comes down the pipeline in that regard. In the meantime, you can let us know your own thoughts on Extraction by dropping a comment in the usual place below.

Extraction Actually Features Two MCU Stars, Not Only Chris Hemsworth

Extraction is a bonafide hit on Netflix, with fans raving about it on social media and everyone seemingly checking it out this weekend. After all, it’s the closest thing we have to a summer blockbuster at the moment, but what’s also exciting is that there are a number of MCU alumni involved in the project.

Obviously, there’s Chris Hemsworth as the main star, but we’ve also got the Russos on board, with Joe writing and both brothers producing. Not to mention director Sam Hargrave, who was a stunt coordinator and second-unit director on several Marvel entries including the last two Avengers movies.

But there’s actually a second MCU star in the film as well that hasn’t been talked about as much, as Hemsworth has been stealing most of the spotlight. Yes, if you’ve seen it you’ll know that David Harbour shows up about halfway into Extraction playing a mysterious individual known as Gaspar. He has a history with Tyler (Hemsworth), but his motives for helping him are not what they seem.

Harbour is, of course, playing Alexei Shotakov/Red Guardian in the upcoming Black Widow. A Russian counterpart to our Captain America, Red Guardian’s a father-figure to Natasha Romanoff, but he’s also got a bit more of a personality than Cap. Judging by the trailers for Black Widow, he’s a little out of shape but eager to fight again, and this won’t be just a one-off for the actor, either, as Marvel is planning to use Red Guardian in future MCU films down the road.

The 45-year-old’s been carving out a nice little career for himself after the success of Stranger Things. He was appearing in movies for many years as a “that guy” before landing the role of Hopper and though it looked like he was about to get his own franchise with the Hellboy reboot, that didn’t turn out so well.

Luckily, Marvel came calling and he’s seemingly got a multi-picture deal with the studio now. Good for him, too. He’s put his time in playing shady characters like the one he does in Extraction and he’s kind of perfected that performance at this point. As such, we’re eager to see what he’ll do with an MCU role once Black Widow finally rolls around.
