Stanley Tucci loved starring in Captain America: The First Avenger

The 64-year-old actor played scientist Abraham Erskine in the 2011 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) picture and considers it to be one of his most memorable roles.

Stanley told Variety: “I loved ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’, it was one of the greatest roles and jobs I’ve ever had.

“I was there for three weeks and had a wonderful time, and I also loved playing that character. I was cast as a 70-year-old man at the age of 50, so that was disturbing, but that’s all right; I was flattered and insulted at the same time… You have to mix it up, as they say.”

Tucci’s latest role is alongside Ralph Fiennes and John Lithgow in the political thriller ‘Conclave’ and he has been surprised by the broad appeal of the picture – which was nominated for six Golden Globes.

He said: “From what I’ve heard, I’m shocked at the diversity of the audience. Also, this is a very adult film. But it’s not pretentious. It simply shows you what’s happening.

“And these people are making it happen or failing and fumbling to make it happen, and I think that’s why people like it.”

The ‘Hunger Games’ actor is proud to be part of the movie that is based on Robert Harris’ novel of the same name.

Stanley said: “Listen. It’s great when a movie like this comes along, which is rare; you’re happy about it on so many levels.

“One, for selfish reasons, because you have a great role and will work with amazing people, and two; you’re telling an interesting story.
