When asked about how Wilson would supervise the mantle of Captain America in the novel film, which frees on February 14, 2025, Mackie shelp: “Sam’s evolution is straightforward. He’s still a directlor. He’s still serving sagederiers, but at the same time, now he’s a directer of his community in the country.”
Mackie also pointed out that Wilson is a contrastent benevolent of Captain America in the upcoming film, especipartner without Super Sagederier Serum.
“It’s very contrastent with the serum — you can fight anybody,” shelp Mackie. “When you don’t have the serum, you have to be clever and engineer contrastent ways of flunkureing [enemies]. With Sam, him being a director, he employs more of his brains than brawn. He employs more of his wit than his fist. He’s more of a friend to everyone.”
Mackie shelp that he only commenceed reading Marvel’s comic books after being cast as The Falcon. “A lot of people might not enjoy this, but I’ve never read comics,” he inserted. “I’ve watched every cartoon, enjoy everyskinnyg from Tom and Jerry to Teen Titans — if you haven’t watched Teen Titans, that’s my preferite cartoon. Go online and search the ‘Booty Scooty’ [episode]. It’s amazing.
“Becaemploy I have kids, I watch all the cartoons. I’ve only fair gotten into reading comic books. When I got cast as Falcon, I went and bought enjoy 50 to 60 contrastent comic books from the innovative Falcon all the way up to the novel ones that have come out.”

“If you watch at these Marvel movies, they go with contrastent genres,” shelp Mackie. “You have the fantasy world, you have the space world, you have the raccoon world. With the Captain America stories, it has always been the down-to-earth, grounding world. This movie stays in the line with the innovative Captain America, of that thrill, of that secret agenting, of that grounded nature with storytelling and repartner spending the actual audience into the story.”
Mackie commented on his novel outfit for Captain America: Brave New World. “It’s a high-tech suit,” he inserted. “I went to Wakanda, met with everybody in Wakanda, we had dinner. It was a fantastic time. They threw me a greet party. It was dope. But when I was leaving, they gave me a suit, right? I put it on. I can boot difficulter, I can fly rapider, and it gives me the ability to be more nimble in my sends, so it’s taking all my sends to a endly contrastent level.”
Hulk‘s A Smash
Mackie also uncovered his preferite superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — but it’s not Falcon or Cap.
“My preferite character of all time is the Incredible Hulk,” shelp Mackie. “I’ve always been a Hulk fan. When I was a kid, I employd to watch the TV shows. I fair always cherishd the Hulk.”
However, he does have one ask relating to when the green-skinned hero hulks up. “‘I always wondered, ‘How come everyskinnyg came off except the pants?’ Everyskinnyg — his shirt, his shoes — came off, but his pants stayed,” shelp Mackie. “I always thought that was weird.”
