Sebastian Stan is ready for another action-packed film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Thunderbolts. However, he also has other big plans. The actor, who has always impressed us with his performance as Bucky Barnes in several Marvel Studios films, recently expressed interest in playing one of the most intelligent and insane villains from the DC universe.

While talking to Josh Horowitz, Stan shared his views about playing the Riddler, standing opposite the Dark Knight of Gotham. 

When Stan was asked by Horowitz if he would like to join the superhero franchise, now being freshly built up by James Gunn as Batman, the Tom & Pammy actor replied that he wasn’t sure about playing a huge role such as the stated character.

However, when Horowitz mentioned that he has the chin and few other looks to portray Batman, Sebastian Stan stated, “I mean… Never say never. I… I don’t know… there’s so many… yeah, there’s so many characters… I.. I, uh… I told you I always had a soft spot for that Riddler.” 

Meanwhile, the Romanian-American actor also added that Paul Dano had depicted a perfect Riddler in Matt Reeves’ Batman. 

Sebastian Stan will be next seen in The Apprentice, playing a young and growing Donald Trump. The movie had already made headlines and received praise when it was shown at the Cannes Film Festival.

Stan was first introduced as Bucky Barnes in the MCU in the 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger. Soon as the audience saw him in the second entry of the man out of time's film, Stan put a great impression on everyone watching him on screen.
