He talked about how he wanted to play the role and what he did prior to getting cast as falcon. "I wanted to be like the Joker and get my Heath Ledger on. I would send Marvel an email, like every four to five months. I was calling saying, 'I'll work for free.' About two years ago they sent me a letter saying, 'Don't call us, we'll call you.' I was like 'Damn -- Marvel mad at me." He then Added "I read up on him and immediately got into the gym, [Laughs] I thought if I am wearing that much spandex I have to be in shape."
