Anthony Mackie
Mackie is set to reprise the role of Falcon in Civil War. We were introduced to this character for the first time in The Winter Solider but we did get a brief look at him in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Speaking on the red carpet at the premiere of Captain America: Civil War earlier this week, Mackie also praised Anthony and Joe Russo for pulling off this complex storyline.
"The one thing that I love about being in these movies is that we all realise how lucky we are to be a part of the Marvel Universe. It is not often - if ever - you go into a movie knowing that the final product is going to be really good and well received.
"I think it is very hard to believe that you can take something as epic as the Civil War battle in the Captain America comic series and make it work, but the Russo's did that. I am just really proud to be a part of it."
Civil War sees Mackie reunite with the Russo brothers as they direct their second consecutive Captain America film. The duo is going to go on to direct the Avengers: Infinity War movies.
We are going to see Mackie's character Falcon on Team Cap as he reunites with Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, and Scarlett Johansson. Robert Downey Jr, Jeremy Renner, and Elizabeth Olsen are some of the big new additions to the cast list.
Captain America: Civil War will be the third big screen outing for Mackie so far this year, having already starred in Our Brand Is Crisis and Triple 9.
The cast list for Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2 are yet to be revealed... could we see the Falcon take on a bigger role in the upcoming Avengers movies? I guess we are going to have to wait and see.
Captain America: Civil War is released 29th April.
