‘I feel that highly about it’: Sebastian Stan has compared The Batman Part II to The Godfather sequel

Sebastian Stan has compared The Batman Part II to The Godfather sequel.

The 44-year-old actor is reportedly playing Harvey Dent in Matt Reeves’ upcoming movie and he is excited for fans to see the film.

He told Variety: “I go to set sometimes and I look around and I’m like, I think we’re making f****** Godfather Part Two. I feel that highly about it. Matt has spent three years working on it. There’s a lot of speculation about these roles, about what this movie is, but I think it’s going to be a good payoff - it’s really grounded and real, and that’s what I loved about it. You want to tease it a little, but we still have a long time.

Although he is known for playing Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Stan is a huge DC Comics fan and always loved the movie Batman Returns.

He said: “I remember exactly where I saw it, over Christmas. I didn’t see the original first. It was Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny DeVito and I was obsessed with that movie. I also, shamefully, really like Batman Forever — I love the Riddler, I love Jim Carrey …

“[Tommy Lee Jones is] an amazing actor. I don’t quite know. In that movie, Jim Carrey overshadowed him.

“But, growing up in Europe, Batman was the most recognisable thing to me. So when the MCU came first, it opened a door to comics I didn’t grow up with and I thought, well, that’s it, there’s no way I can get to the other side. No one’s going to hire me; I’ll be Bucky."
