Sebastian Stan Lost ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Green Lantern’ Before Marvel; He Sent J.J. Abrams Photos as William Shatner to Try and Land Captain Kirk Role
Sebastian Stan lost out on playing Captain Kirk in "Star Trek" before Marvel cast him as Bucky Barnes.
I was really close and I had a screen test with him at Paramount studios and my manager had me do a separate photoshoot where I would try and replicate all of these William Shatner pictures just to send to [J.J.] to see how much I look like him and stuff. Reynolds ultimately landed the role of Green Lanter, but the 2011 comic book movie was an infamous box office flop and critical dud. The role has spanned several MCU movies and television shows, such as the Disney+ series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” and next includes the film tentpole “Thunderbolts,” which Stan is headlining alongside Florence Pugh.
