Sebastian Stan on MCU Secrecy: No Full Scripts Allowed!
18 Aug
Summary
- Actors received only individual scenes, not full scripts, for secrecy.
- This filming strategy is a common Marvel practice to prevent leaks.
- Sebastian Stan has followed this spoiler-avoidance rule for 15 years.

Filming for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday involved a unique approach where stars received only scattered scenes rather than complete scripts. Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, explained this strategy was implemented by producers to prevent plot spoilers from reaching journalists. This method has been a Marvel practice for years, and Stan has followed it for over a decade.
Stan also mentioned that this spoiler-avoidance protocol extends to his role in the forthcoming The Batman: Part II. He expressed his admiration for large-scale projects and eagerly anticipates Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey." Stan also shared his appreciation for the dedicated fanbase of Bucky Barnes, highlighting the long-term connection he shares with them.
Stan's MCU journey began with Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011. He most recently appeared in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Avengers: Doomsday is slated for release on December 18, featuring a large ensemble cast including Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie, Florence Pugh, and potentially several X-Men actors like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.
