Someone call Cap, Bucky Barnes is seeing other movies. Sebastian Stan, fresh from dividing the MCU with his super-schism powers, has signed up to star in We Have Always Lived In The Castle.

The Michael Douglas-produced horror/thriller follows the reculsive Blackwood family, confined to the house after a handful of their relatives were mysteriously killed by poisoning six years earlier. The Blackwoods consist of two sisters (Merricat and the agoraphobic Connie) and their obsessive uncle Julian, as well as a long-lost cousin out to take the family fortune.

Stan will play the scheming cousin, Charles Blackwood, when the shoot gets underway in Dublin later this month. The script is adapted from the novel by Shirley Jackson, the writer of classic horror tome The Haunting Of Hill House. Expect plenty of amulets, rituals and other supernatural McGuffins in this one too.

Stacie Passon, director of acclaimed 2013 indie Concussion, is behind the camera on this one.

This isn’t the only non-Marvel project Stan has in the pipeline. He’s recently finished up on indie romance I’m Not Here alongside J.K. Simmons and Maika Monroe.
