In a recent interview with
Entertainment Tonight;
Avengers: Infinity War star Anthony Mackie was asked if he would be up for a spinoff starring his character, Sam Wilson AKA Falcon, and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). Here's what he had to say:
Sebastian is a damn good actor and he's a damn good friend, so I think our relationship — really, it's the three of us, he, [Chris Evans] and I - our relationship kind of works really well because there's a mutual respect.
So a spinoff would be great, but it would be like Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy in 48 Hours, that would be our spinoff. It would end up with us beating the crap out of each other three or four times, I know it.
Speaking to ET separately from the set of Infinity War; Stan expanded on the chemistry with Mackie, saying we "absolutely" could see a spinoff starring the two.
To me it's like Martin Brest film classic Midnight Run, it's really just sort of in my head like 48 hours, or a buddy comedy from the '80s or the '90s. That's how I see it.
And when specifically asked if we could get a spinoff, Stan said:
We absolutely can, absolutely. The right people to make that happen are certainly within feet from us right now.
What do you think about the possibility of a Winter Soldier/Falcon spinoff? Here's Entertainment Tonight's full interview with Mackie:
