Sebastian Stan Says He Wants to Play Ric Flair in a Biopic

Sebastian Stan has his hands busy with Bucky in the MCU right now, but he says he’d love to do a Ric Flair biopic. Stan spoke with Collider for an interview promoting his new film Monday and talked about his love of wrestling and desire to play the Nature Boy in a biopic.

Asked about a mention by I, Tonya and BlacKkKlansman actor Paul Walter Hauser about the potential film, Stan said, “That’s it, man, we got to do that Ric Flair/Anderson biopic! Oh, you know — by the way, did you ever, you have to have interviewed him at some point, right? He’s so funny. I mean, and he’s such a big wrestling fan. And I was a big wrestling fan too growing up. Like, I loved WWF and stuff. And we both have a kippup. So maybe Ric Flair. I would do that in a second if they let me. I mean, pretty soon, I’ll be eligible, I guess. Wooo!”

Flair said last year that he’s working with the Rock on a biopic, though it’s not clear if Stan is actively involved or in talks for it. You can see Stan right now as Bucky in The Falcon & The Winter Soldier on Disney+.
