Sebastian Stan Feels Like the Jon Snow of Avengers: Infinity War

Sebastian Stan insists he's in the dark about Winter Soldier's arc in Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War and its sequel.

If, after months of rumors and leaked photos and videos from the set, you're still as bewildered as ever about Avengers: Infinity War and its untitled sequel, you're certainly not alone. Much like Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, Sebastian Stan insists he knows nothing -- beyond his own scenes.

"I feel a lot like that Jon Snow character," the Winter Soldier actor told MTV. "You remember 'Battle of the Bastards'? 'Battle of the Bastards,' first of all, was one of the best episodes. [...] For anyone who knows out there, when there's that shot of Jon Snow, from the back as horses are charging at him and he's just standing there, that's kind of how I feel on set at times. Will I make this stampede or not?"

Stan, who played Bucky Barnes in all three Captain America films, characterized the upcoming Infinity War as "the biggest culmination of anything and everything they've done so far." However, like the other members of the sprawling ensemble cast, he hasn't seen the full script.

"I only read what they gave me the day -- it's usual only a day-to-day thing," he said. "I certainly don't know what I have to do next."

Pressed about rumors that, as in the Marvel comics, Captain America's shield will pass to Bucky, Stan replied, "It's just speculation."

"I honestly have no idea," he said, when asked whether someone should place money on such a development. "I really don't know what I would said to somebody that would ask me that question. [...] I don't know. We just gotta all survive this war."
