Anthony Mackie Talks CAPTAIN AMERICA: TWS; New Details On 'The Falcon'

Can't frickin wait for this movie

Wait so does that mean Hawkeye might make a cameo???

I doubt it..thought that for a second but I reckon he was just using him as an example of another SHIELD member.

YAY! More SHEILD Agents! I can't wait for it to be revealed that Asgard is a SHIELD rendition outpost.

So what if hes a SHIELD agent? its much better this way. In the Marvel universe there are three ways to become a superhero. Be a mutant or a superhuman, be a SHIELD agent or be an Alien/God.

Wow . . . where'd our imagination go? Soooo Dr. Strange gets his mystic training from the SHIELD manual? Antman, no doubt, NOW works for SHIELD's Micro Research Div.? Ms./Captain Marvel NOW gets her powers from SHIELD via Stark Tech, INSTEAD of the incredibly interestin path she's taken to get here? Is NOVA going to be just another SHEILD agent imbued with a super special Stark Tech Helmet (from the SHIELD Helmet Div.)?
Puh-lease! Lets have some MORE diversity. MORE than what appears to be happening.

@Nomis

Falcon reflects both the Marvel and Ultimate Marvel version of himself.

@Nomis

And with good reason. That uniform looks fine in the comics but it would horrible in live action. Also in the Ultimate Marvel version, Sam Wilson works for SHIELD and has major military training. His depiction is based off the comics more than people think.

This is a fake argument. There are more choices available to anyone with an imagination than just:
1) armoring up all our printed comic book heroes so they look and feel like marines with a logo on their chest, or
2) wearing a dance leotard.
NOBODY wants their heroes to look like they are wearing spandex, lycra, pantyhose or jeggings! NOBODY. So those of you who feel more armor, helmets and knee pads are better, please stop accusing those you would call "purists" of wanting to sissify their manly men.
It's a lie and nobody wants it.
What the "traditionalists" want is greater respect for the superhero design and concept. And NOT the ULTIMATE UNIVERSE version - the ACTUAL, "REAL" 616 version. The Standard.
First:
Now, when I bring up the following, please don't freak out. I am only referring to the design of the costumes (and NOT the quality, or lack thereof, of the movie itself). Both Spider-Man (all of them) and Green Lantern's (yes I know, he's not Marvel) costume's looked fantastic. They remained true to the comic source while giving them updated tweaks. Visually both were VERY successful. Again, NOT talking about the flawed plot for Green Lantern. Focus . . . just talking about costume design.
We could also bring up Ghost Rider, Blade, Hulk, and IronMan. But Spidey and Jordan demonstrate the point well enough.
I'm not hating on Marvel for high crimes against my fanboy fantasies. This EASILY falls under the, "Be Careful What You Wish For . . ." category. No, instead I merely want to point out that these are fantastical creations and, in respect for the long standing visual traditions that have brought them successfully from the 60's all the up to modern times (50 years later), that we not throw out entirely, the costumes they brung us here.
UPDATE them. Tweak them, as was successfully done with Green Lantern and Spider-Man. But don't ignore their past and comicbooky design ENTIRELY.
Don't forget, ONE (and I do mean ONE), of the reasons so many people (and by people, I JUST mean people on THIS site) hated Nolan's Batman, was because of the removal of the superhero from one of our oldest superheroes. He's practically IronMan in that suit. Except IronMan had no problem turning his head.
Just because a movie may or may not be successful, doesn't mean the characters represented has ANYTHING to do with the name they're calling it.

Man I guess I better go see "This Is The End" if someone on a Marvel thread tells me too.

@GLprime2814

I won't speak for the X-Men but I have to disagree in regards to Marvel. Iron Man's suit looks stunningly like the comic books, so does the Hulk (in the Avengers), as does Thor, Captain America (again in the Avengers) and Black Widow. Hawkeye was more Ultimate Marvel version but I don't consider that a drawback.

@Nomis

The reason I don't mind the looks is because Marvel Comics depicted them long before they became live action. I like the traditional looks myself but I'm not so loyal to them that I can't accept anything else, especially when those looks are also based in the comic books.

@soforizo

The X-Men have always touched darker subjects than the Avengers. Captain America sanitized the Nazi's?

Token black is token.

It really pisses me of how close minded people can be. The Mandarin twist was genius. The reason the Mandarin twist was so ingenious is because they went physiological with it. I study phycology and I find the twist really intriguing. They took a racist character inspired by fear and stereotypes and turned him into a tragic irony of how we as human beings present threats. Ill elaborate. When Rhodey is looking for the Mandarin he searches only in Middle Eastern countries because due to terrorism people think that the threat is form that area. But if you think about it doesn’t seem logical. The Mandarin has an American accent, yet the government firmly believes that all terrorists are from Middle Eastern areas. Even Tony thought Jarvis was malfunctioning because he said The Mandarin was in Miami. The whole audience were buying this whole Middle Eastern terrorist shtick. Now imagine everyone’s surprise when they found out that The Mandarin was a British drug addict, and the real terrorist was a rich, wealthy, White American. You’d probably feel stupid and even a little bit embarrassed that you bought the whole stereotypical terrorist deal. Aldrich Killians plan was genius because as long as people where looking for the Mandarin he could operate in peace. To quote The Mandarin: ‘You know who I am. You don’t know where I am and you’ll never see me coming.’ This actually tells us the answer. Killian is a very famous and wealthy scientist being in charge of Aim and rebranding War Machine. Nobody knows where he is because they’re all looking in the wrong places. And you’ll never see him coming because he doesn’t exist. Killian played the whole world and nearly won.

@soforizo - You truly think Marvel would do a worse job on the X-men than FOX has? Hell, at least they would stay TRUE to the comics! X2 was as close as FOX ever got and probably ever WILL get to the comics. I would LOVE to see what Disney/Marvel would do with THEIR X-verse. We probably wouldn't have:

1. Magneto as the same villain in ALL the movies. Bring on Apocalypse and the other awesome X villains!
2. Havok and Cyclops would be the same age. Duh.
3. Professor X wouldn't have died and then been reborn into his twin brother's body... WTF?!?
4. Singer wouldn't be the head man. 'Nuff said!
5. No, they wouldn't all be SHIELD agents! :P

The Captain America movie was about introducing HYDRA. Any time you can keep from using the Nazis even in just name is fine with me. We all know what happened and don't need to be reminded.

@soforizo

Of course. The point wasn't to show that extremists don't exist but that they exist in all forms. Any race, any gender, any motive, etc. But Killian understood that terrorists these days are most stereotypically portrayed as looking like Trevor than himself. He played on that. Not only did he give the people a target that took any heat off looking into AIM but also to make a false necessity for his Extremis soldiers.
