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.

Glen Powell isn’t interested in discussing politics.

In a new Esquire cover story, The Running Man actor said that despite his mother Cyndy Powell’s work in the U. S. Treasury Department under the Reagan administration, current events never made its way into his family’s dinner-table conversations. “Thank God,” he said.

The actor said “over time” he has “realized that politics divide people. People trying to prove their point — for me, it’s the worst version of a conversation. I genuinely do not like the discourse. It’s not as healthy as it once was.”

Powell said that engaging in political conversations was “not presently possible.” He added, “I applaud people for jumping into those things and fighting for what they believe in. If I were a political person, I would be talking about it. For me, my calling is elsewhere.”

The Top Gun: Maverick is not the only celebrity asserting their disinterest in speaking about politics. Powell’s Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney said she has “never been here to talk about politics” in a cover interview with Cosmopolitan in January following the fallout from her viral American Eagle jeans ad.

Sweeney also said she doesn’t anticipate she will confirm her political beliefs: “I’m not a political person. I’m in the arts. I’m not here to speak on politics. That’s not an area I’ve ever even imagined getting into. It’s not why I became who I am. I became an actor because I like to tell stories, but I don’t believe in hate in any form. I believe we should all love each other and have respect and understanding for one another.”

Last November, Jennifer Lawrence questioned if she should speak out against Trump after being vocal about her political stance during his first term.

“I don’t really know if I should,” Lawrence told The New York Times on its The Interview podcast about speaking out against Trump and politics. “During the first Trump administration, I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. But as we’ve learned, election after election, celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people vote for. So then what am I doing? I’m just sharing my opinion on something that’s going to add fuel to a fire that’s ripping the country apart. We are so divided.”

Elsewhere in the profile, Powell addressed The Running Man‘s weak box office performance. “They let go of an entire marketing department a month before our movie came out in the middle of a merger,” he said of Paramount, the studio behind the film.

The Running Man released on Nov. 14, 2025; on Oct. 29, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Paramount began series of staff cuts, resulting in about 1,000 jobs being impacted.

THR reached out to Paramount for comment, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
