Sebastian Stan, who embodies Bucky Barnes, or the winter soldier, in the Marvel cinematographic universe told Vanity Fair a $ 65,000 of “Holly Tempear Machine” residue saved his career in the late 2000s.
Stan has played Bucky Barnes in “Captain America: The First Avenger” which was created in 2011. Since its first distribution, Stan has appeared in Nine Marvel Films in the past 14 years.
The franchise “Captain America” was an extremely lucrative corner of the MCU, and the four films have collectively won $ 2.65 billion at the box office, according to figures.
Stan has also drawn the attention of criticisms recently for his work in independent projects. He won a Golden Globe for his performance in 2024 in “A Different Man” and was nominated for an Oscar for his representation of Donald Trump in “The Apprentice” earlier this year.
However, in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Stan said in 2010 that he “struggled with work” before winning his role as Marvel.
“I had just won with my business manager, who told me that I was saved by $ 65,000 who came to” hot time machine “residues, Stan recalled.
Stan played a skiing patrol intimidator in the 2010 science fiction comedy which followed four friends transported over time by a swirl bath of the ski resort – a supporting role which provided him with essential income.
“Hot Tub Time Machine” managed to succeed, winning $ 64 million worldwide, according to the Mojo box office, and by obtaining a 64% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Although these figures are pale compared to the billions that Stan’s Marvel films have made, this shows that sometimes small projects can be important to other ways for the actors.
Residual checks are given to actors in various circumstances, such as when the project is published on DVD or Blu-ray, when movies or television programs are unionized by television channels, or when added to a streaming service.
Obviously, for actors like Stan, residues can often be a lifeline for the quieter games of their career.
We do not know how much Stan won for his continuous role as a winter soldier in the MCU. In 2014, he told Newsarama (via the Hollywood Reporter) that he signed an agreement of 9 films with the studio.
Marvel players who sign multiple offers are often delivered with a 7 -digit price. However, the longer actors remain in the MCU, their wages increase and they have more leverage for contingent compensation – a percentage of the benefit of a film.
The Marvel Star is not the only actor to live the pay check in Paychette before making it big. More recently, the main role of “Star Wars” John Boyega said it was only $ 60 before being thrown into the following trilogy.
In 2024, Glen Powell also said that he was almost broken while waiting for “Top Gun: Maverick” to be able to go out during the pandemic.
