Sebastian Stan is no stranger to biopics – but his next one is a little different. The Marvel star is set to play a younger version of Donald Trump in new movie The Student.
According to the movie’s official logline, “The Student is an exploration of power and ambition set in a world of corruption and deceit. It’s a mentor-protege story that charts the origins of an American dynasty. Filled with larger than life characters, it reveals the moral and human cost of a culture defined by winners and losers.”
Stan has played a few real-life figures in recent years, including Mötley Crüe drummer and Pamela Anderson’s ex-husband Tommy Lee in Hulu series Pam & Tommy, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev in GameStop movieDumb Money, and Jeff Gillooly inI, Tonya.
He’s perhaps best known for his role in the MCU as Bucky Barnes, AKA the Winter Soldier, which he’s set to reprise in Thunderbolts. The movie, which centers around the titular group of antiheroes, will also star Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Steven Yeun, Harrison Ford, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Phew.
While we wait for The Student to arrive on our screens, check out our guide to the rest of this year’s biggestmovie release dates.
