Sebastian Stan shared the perfect theory for how his character read The Hobbit before The Falcon and the Winter Soldier released. @616soldat joked that Steve Rogers getting beat up probably interrupted him finishing the book. It’s a great joke and you can imagine Stan’s deadpan delivery of “he won’t let me read.” Bucky Barnes revealed he read J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel when it released in 1937. It was a fun nod to the fans gesturing toward the Super Soldier’s reading habits back in the day. If there’s been one thing The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has done well, it’s filling in the blanks for Bucky and Zemo’s motivations. Fans have learned so much about the former assassin and his handler. But, there are still some lingering questions, especially as they pertain to Stan’s character. There are only two episodes left until the season finale, but this probably won’t be the last time we see Bucky.
i can just imagine someone informing bucky that steve was involved in a fight again and him just putting down his hobbit book down like “that mf just won’t let me read”
