Critics praised Thunderbolts* (or The New Avengers), and I’m a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe-set flick as nicely. As enjoyable as this explicit 2025 film schedule entry is although, what I’ve actually loved is the press tour, throughout which the stellar forged has been sharing enjoyable, BTS secrets and techniques. That behavior of divulging tidbits was even exercised by Sebastian Stan on the movie’s pink carpet premiere, as he referred to as out colleague David Harbour’s “nut” obsession. And, consider it or not, this isn’t the primary time an MCU star has referenced a co-star’s love of nuts.
It’s not out of the unusual for actors to area enjoyable questions at a film premiere, however I’m unsure who may’ve predicted that nuts would come up on the Thunderbolts* pink carpet. Sebastian Stan – who performs Bucky Barnes within the film – was requested about secret enjoyable moments from the set. Within the video, which was shared to Instagram by Marvel Studios, Stan recalled Alexei Shostakov actor David Harbour apparently stuffing cashews and almonds into his costume. Individually, Harbour humorously addressed his “dependancy”:
Can we blame the actor for being so massive on nuts, although? As he stated, they supply protein, and I do know that I often take pleasure in some good salted peanuts. I can actually relate to the Stranger Issues actor in regard to having an “addition” of some type to a sure sort of meals. (I could or might not have an unhealthy obsession with Bitter Patch Children, however that’s a dialog for one more day.)
As a complete, this dialogue over nuts is simply one other eager instance of the camaraderie that seems to exist amongst the Thunderbolts* forged. It’s been notably fulfilling for me to observe David Harbour and the “cranky and good-looking” Sebastian Stan combine it up over the previous a number of weeks. Paradoxically, I truly needed their latest MCU movie to additional discover the connection between their characters. I’m unsure that’ll occur in upcoming Marvel films however, on the very least, I’m glad the actors themselves have such a jokey relationship.
It’s actually humorous how issues work out as a result of, a number of years in the past, Anthony Mackie (evenly) referred to as out Sebastian Stan, in a method. The always-jovial Mackie offered a bit of recommendation for David Harbour in regard to working with Sebastian Stan. Mackie surmised that to be able to get in good with a “good” man like Stan, you give him “some almond butter” after which chat with him a bit. The irony of a state of affairs like this coming again round is actually nutty. (I’m sorry, the pun was proper there, and I needed to go for it.)
All three of the aforementioned actors are all part of the much-anticipated Avengers: Doomsday, which is about to open in theaters in 2026. In fact, at this level, it’s unclear simply how a lot the trio will work collectively amid manufacturing on the large blockbuster. Nevertheless, there’s a agency probability they might share some very humorous moments throughout the eventual press tour. Oh, the humorous secrets and techniques which might be certain to get spilled then.
I wouldn’t be stunned if David Harbour’s nut dependancy or Sebastian Stan’s obvious fondness for almond butter come again into play in some unspecified time in the future. And, even when that doesn’t occur, I nonetheless chuckle on the considered the 2 actors chopping up about any humorous subject whereas selling an upcoming film collectively.
