Sebastian Stan is reprising his role as Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, in Avengers: Doomsday and is teasing that the film will be “heartbreaking.”

Marvel fans are already bracing for the worst, and Stan’s recent interview while promoting Fjord has them guessing that someone will die.

“I haven’t seen the movie, and I don’t know how it turned out,” Stand told Decider. “I’m sure it’s going to be probably heartbreaking, in a lot of ways. We’ll see who makes it to the next level.”

As for filming Avengers: Doomsday, Stan said he “got a chance to reunite with everyone,” including Chris Evans, adding, “It was very nostalgic to look back, and think about all of these years that we’ve known each other, and grew up together. It’s incredible in that way. It’s been a family and it never stops being that way.”

In a recent interview, the Russo Brothers said they started filming Avengers: Doomsday without a finished script.

“We’re improvisation-based, rehearsal-based directors,” Joe Russo told AP. “We like to see what the actors bring to the characters, and sometimes you don’t get the actors until a few days or few weeks before you shoot them. And a lot of the time, that’s when the magic happens.”

EXCLUSIVE: Apple TV‘s upcoming dramedy Beat the Reaper has added Paul Schulze (Nurse Jackie, The Sopranos) and Tony Macht (Oh Mary!, The Comeback) to its recurring cast. Details regarding their characters are under wraps.

Based on the novel of the same name by Josh Bazell, Beat the Reaper follows Dr. Peter Brown (Will Poulter), an intern at Boston’s worst hospital, with a talent for medicine, a shift from hell, and a past he’d prefer to keep hidden. But when a patient recognizes him from his dangerous past, Brown has eight hours to elude the government, mob hitmen, quack surgeons, and a trail of dead gangsters to somehow beat the reaper.

The previously announced cast also includes J.K. Simmons, Damon Herriman, Stephanie Nur, Artoun Nazareth and Molly Price.

Beat the Reaper is executive produced by showrunner Sam Catlin through his overall deal with Apple TV. Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan, Natalie Lehmann, and Laura Delahaye will executive produce, and Rachel Toffler will co-executive produce, for New Regency. Apple Studios is the studio.

Schulze is most notably known as the eccentric pharmacist and illicit love interest, Eddie Walzer, on Showtime’s Nurse Jackie. He can be seen most recently in recurring roles on Apple TV’s Sugar, Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer, and Amazon’s The Expanse. On HBO’s The Sopranos, Schulze played Father Phil Intintola, and also appeared for three seasons of Fox’s 24 as CTU director Ryan Chappelle. Film credits include Panic Room and the latest installment of the Rambo franchise. Schulze is repped by Kyle Fritz Management and Innovative Artists.

Macht can currently be seen on Broadway in the Tony-winning hit, Oh, Mary! For TV, Macht’s recurring roles include Dying For Sex (FX) and in Season 3 of The Comeback (HBO). His guest-starring roles include Back Rabbit (Netflix), At Home with Amy Sedaris (TruTV), and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon). Feature film credits include the upcoming Focker In Law, Terminal (Cannes Short Competition), After Class (Tribeca), Listen, and the upcoming Handle With Care. Macht is repped by Nicolosi & Co., Sweet 180, and Schreck Rose Dapello.

Frank G. Mancuso, Sr., the former film studio executive who headed both Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer during the 1980s and ’90s, overseeing the release of such major box office hits as Top Gun, Fatal Attraction, The Untouchables, Coming to America and Ghost, died of cancer on Thursday, October 1, at his home in Los Angeles. He was 93.

His death was announced by his family, which includes his son, the producer Frank Mancuso, Jr.

Mancuso, whose expertise spanned sales, marketing, and distribution, served as chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures from 1984 to 1991, when the studio released the above-mentioned films. From 1993 to 1999 he headed MGM as it rebuilt its film and television operations and acquired Orion Pictures and PolyGram Filmed Entertainment.

“When God created Frank Mancuso Sr., he broke the mold,” said Andy Garcia, who landed his Oscar-nominated role in The Godfather III at Mancuso’s suggestion, said in a statement. “This is not just a saying but the absolute truth. Mr. Mancuso will forever be a beacon of class in our industry, the greatest example of warmth, integrity, and generosity. I had the blessing of his friendship, support, and guidance. I will miss him deeply and will continue to be inspired by his example. Rest in peace, ‘Pops.’”

Mancuso joined Paramount Pictures in 1962 as a sales executive in the company’s Buffalo branch, and ascended through the ranks over the next two decades, relocating to Toronto, New York City, and finally Los Angeles. His acumen for promotion, particularly in international markets, helped the commercial success of box-office smashes such as Saturday Night Fever and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Born Frank George Mancuso on July 25, 1933, in Buffalo, New York, Mancuso worked as an usher for Buffalo’s Lafayette Theater during his high school years, eventually assisting in the venue’s daily operations and programming for live events and screenings.

During his 45-year career as a film exec, Mancuso also served as governor of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (1986) and later as secretary (1992). He was chairman of the Motion Picture and Television Fund corporate board from 2003 to 2010.

His family notes that his affable demeanor earned him the nickname “Gentleman Frank,” and that he knew the names of colleagues at every level, from the mailroom to the executive floor, and fostered a family-like atmosphere at the studios.

Mancuso married Frances (Fay) Susan Mauro, a fellow Buffalo native and childhood sweetheart, in 1957. She survives him, as do his son; daughter Maria Mancuso, a designer; daughter-in-law Kimberly Mancuso; grandchildren Noah Gersh, Emma Louise Ray, Giovanni Mancuso, Greta Harlan Gersh, Mila Rae Mancuso, and James Lily Frances Gersh; grandson-in-law Eric David Ray; and great-granddaughter Lucca Frances Ray.
