Sebastian Stan, Justice Smith, and Briana Middleton on How Sharper Keeps You Guessing

Before director Benjamin Caron’s (Andor) neo-noir thriller, A24’s Sharper, premiered on Apple TV+, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with members of the ensemble cast about the movie. Alongside stars Julianne Moore and John Lithgow, Sharper features Captain America’s Sebastian Stan, Justice Smith, and Brianna Middleton as pawns in this ever-evolving game of wits and deception.
Taking its audience to the penthouses of Manhattan, Sharper weaves a web of intricate lies revolving around billionaire Richard Hobbes’ (Lithgow) wealth. It begins with a love story between the bookish Tom (Smith) and graduate student, Sandra (Middleton), who encounter one another serendipitously at the bookstore Tom works at. The movie takes a sharp turn when Max (Stan), the con artist son of Hobbes’ girlfriend Madeline (Moore), breaks into his high rise. Tensions simmer when a scam begins to unfold between the mother-son duo, right around the time Hobbes is looking for someone to inherit his empire, someone other than his estranged son Tom who Richard believes to be incapable of taking over the family’s business.
Sharper’s twisting narrative keeps viewers guessing through its four acts, as more lies and deceit unravel between them all. During their interview, Stan, Smith, and Middleton talk about how the script for Sharper kept them guessing until the last page, what the filming schedule was like for a movie with so many plot twists, and encourage viewers to go in completely blind. Middleton discusses playing a character with many different facets, Stan shares the nuanced direction from Caron, they all suggest previous work for fans to check out, and Stan teases Bucky Barnes’ arc in Marvel Studios’ upcoming feature, Thunderbolts.

Sebastian Stan was fantastic as Bucky in the MCU.

Cool to see Justice mention “The Get Down” 👏🏾

briana made me laugh at 3:36. i think she'd be so fun to hang out with. also the distress in justice's voice at 8:37 when sebastian said he was lost in what he was saying made me laugh so hard as well

That Justice Smith guy is really sweet. This cast looks fun.

I love Sebastian !! and I just watched sharper omg the movie was amazing but I didn’t like the ending cause I was rooting for Madeline but how well. Such great artist!!

Sebastian just saying "Steve " 🥺

[@chasehedges6775]

Justice Smith deserves better after how bad the last 2 Jurassic World films were. He did his best despite the little he had to work with.

Why do they always ask actors about marvel when they are doing interviews for non-marvel stuff. in my opinion it's disrespectful to the other actors, and also just annoying. especially cuz you know they can't answer questions like that.
