Sebastian Stan movies to watch online

    We can all agree that a role in a Marvel movie can be an actor’s ticket to worldwide stardom. For Sebastian Stan, that role is Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier, the ally (and sidekick) of Captain America. However, his career has proven far more interesting than most of his franchise peers. In a single year, he delivered not one, but two stellar performances in A Different Man and The Apprentice. Below, check out a selection of Sebastian Stan movies to watch online and explore his fascinating journey as an actor with a knack for action, drama, and comedy, playing morally and psychologically complex characters.

    A Different Man is a brilliant comedy whose title suggests several meanings. The story begins with Edward (Sebastian Stan, The Apprentice), a man whose face is disfigured by neurofibromatosis, affecting his confidence and ability to connect in a world that routinely rejects ugliness. He falls in love with his neighbor Ingrid (Renate Reinsve, The Worst Person in the World), a beautiful playwright, but when a miraculous cure reverses his deformities, he decides to fake his death and start fresh under the identity of "Guy." Things take an ironic turn when Ingrid writes a play inspired by Edward, and Oswald (Adam Pearson) appears, a man who, despite also suffering from neurofibromatosis, is charismatic and leads a full life. The title A Different Man could suggest that naïve, idealized Hollywood empathy for people with physical differences. However, the script and direction by Aaron Schimberg steer the attention in the opposite direction, focusing on our constant aspiration to be something different from what we are, unable to be comfortable in our own skin and, as Lady Gaga (supposedly) says, to accept what is.

    The Apprentice is a film about the rise of Donald Trump (played by Sebastian Stan) under the mentorship of the unscrupulous lawyer Roy Cohn (Succession's Jeremy Strong) in 1970s New York. However, the film transcends the conventions of the typical Hollywood biopic. Directed by Iranian filmmaker Ali Abbasi (Holy Spider), it does not opt for caricature (Stan's performance is very restrained) but rather aims for a calculated and astute representation of greed, power, and an ambition that transcends any morality or loyalty. In terms of facts, it reveals nothing that isn’t already known about Cohn and Trump, but as a study of the thirst for power and a genealogy of the rotten far-right elite in the United States, it is as fascinating as it is entertaining.

    This is the second movie of the iconic Marvel character, set in modern times and directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (who would later take on the 'Avengers' franchise). "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" adds a spy and political thriller atmosphere without neglecting the plotlines set up in "The First Avenger". The action sequences are a show themselves, with great fight choreographies. Furthermore, the story includes elements and events that would later have repercussions not only in other Marvel movies, but also in the TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". This is one of the highlights of the studio.

    Margot Robbie gave one of the best performances of her career, if not the best yet. You can feel all of the character's emotions through Robbie's portrayal, and the same goes for Allison Janney who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. It's a very well-made movie based on true events in a mockumentary style. 'I, Tonya' is one of the few productions that doesn't turn Tonya Harding into a monster and seeks to show her side of the 1990 Olympic scandal.

    At first glance, it's hard not to be impressed with the cast of 'The Devil All the Time'. Among other big names, Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgård, Sebastian Stan, Mia Wasikowska, Eliza Scanlen, and Jason Clarke are on the screen. Whew. That's a lot of people. And yet, director and screenwriter Antonio Campos—who wrote the script alongside his brother, Paulo Campos—manages to mix all these great names into an interesting plot, albeit not entirely cohesive and somewhat dragged out. But in the end, the mix of elements such as violence and religiosity ends up raising the plot to a higher level, touching on the thorny issue of faith and reminding us of the excellent 'Sinister', with Ethan Hawke. In short, it's a complicated, intricate feature film. But in the end, the reflection and the issues that arise make up for it.
