  • Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes in the Marvel films,
    told Business Insider his fondest memories of Stan Lee, who died
    on Monday.
  • Lee, the former president and chairman of Marvel Comics, was
    a fixture in the Marvel films for the last decade as he made
    cameos in most of them.

The entertainment world was sad to hear about the
death of Stan Lee on Monday
at the age of 95. The
former president and chairman of Marvel Comics had become
the
beloved face of the Marvel universe,
popping up in cameos
for the last decade in many of the
big-screen adaptations starring the characters he helped birth in
comic book form.

Because of his attachment to the films, Lee was a favorite of
the cast that has made up the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the
last 10 years. 

Business Insider spoke to Sebastian Stan — who plays Bucky Barnes
(aka, the Winter Soldier) in the MCU franchise — hours after
Lee’s death hits the news, and he gave us some of his thoughts
about the man.

“I met him a few times and I knew he was really, really happy
with the way the last 10 years had been able to really cater to
his characters,” Stan said while promoting his upcoming movie
“Destroyer” (opening in theaters December 25). “How the
filmmaking and technology kind of caught up to them and you got
this amazing decade of filmmaking that is thanks to him. So I
know he enjoyed that very much and being in them.”

But Stan, who admits that though Lee was 95 he was still in shock
to hear of his death, said what he’ll always take with him are
personal moments he had with the Marvel legend, who would always
remind the actor of the importance of Bucky to the MCU.

“He always said to me, ‘Bucky’s one of the good guys, you have to
remember that,’ and I always smiled when I heard that. I still
think about that.”  

On Monday, Stan posted this touching photo on his Instagram account of he and Lee, with a caption
that read, “Thank you great legend. You will be missed. I
wouldn’t be here without you.”
