Anthony Mackie On Why 'Bucky' And 'Falcon' Shouldn't Become 'Captain America' After CIVIL WAR

Mackie: "I don't know how you all do it in Utah, but when I see two people fighting and one dude gets more punches in than the other dude, that dude won the fight … [And] I hit him more!"


Spoken like a guy who's never won a fight.

I agree with him, I hope Evans stay in the role. Falcon is just a great and fun character.

Not a fan of Steve Rogers passing down the mantle, at least not this early on in the MCU.

And nope, Falcon lost convincingly. Ant-Man is actually one of the stronger Avengers.

I agree, I dont want Bucky or Falcon to take over as Cap. Chris Evanswill sign on for more. He has defined the role of CA

@SuperCat

American Eagle would have been a great name! Maybe their could be something like Cap going missing, and Bucky and Sam taking up the mantle in his absence temporarily.

This is really bugging me: 1. Cap didn't die in Civil War. He turned himself in. He was shot and "killed" in his own book as part of an unrelated plotline, they just used his Civil War perp walk as the opportunity to pick him off in public.

2. Civil War was an attention-grabbing gimmick overflowing with characters acting out of character or just plain stupidly and the less they specifically borrow from the comic the better.

Anyway, does anyone really think Marvel would let their golden poster boy Downey be responsible for the death of Captain America? And then have a tortured, guilt-ridden Tony Stark leading the Avengers without his walking, talking conscience when Thanos comes to Earth?

@Jeight - "Cap will be In Ifinity War man, he has said it numerous times. He may die in the hands of Thanos but he will get out alive in 2016."

I never said Cap will not appear in one of the Infinity War movies.

However, therein lies the rub. Chris Evans has only one film left on his contract, which means he can only appear in one of the Infinity War movies. Sure, Evans & Disney could agree on an extension, but until then, I'm only basing this on what we know, not hypotheticals. And given Evans' contract, if Rogers "dies" in Civil War, then he'd almost certainly be brought back to life for one of the movies only for his contract to expire. I'm not a fan of this idea as I've mentioned before how much I loathe/oppose bringing characters back from the dead.

Ideally IF Rogers is killed for whatever reason, I'd MUCH rather it be during Infinity War 1 than during Civil War. Why kill Cap & bring him back to life when he only has one film left on his contract, ya know?? I still don't like bringing characters back to life, so if they must, it'd be different/better if they agree to an extension, so he's not revived to only be one & done, contractually.

Rogers being killed during IW1 makes significantly more sense. It would complete Evans' current contract & could/should be a great farewell/ending to his run as Cap. His death would inspire & motivate the Avengers to "avenge" Cap's death, much like Coulson's death in the Avengers.

And it'd be the best opportunity for Bucky to take up the Cap mantle, avenge his fallen friend & redeem his character's brainwashed actions. Plus, Sebastian Stan has six or seven films left of his nine-picture deal, so it seems the pieces are falling in place for Bucky becoming Cap. It's almost a guarantee Bucky will appear in one or both Infinity War movies, which leaves four or five movies left on his contract. So, it's safe to assume Bucky's Cap will get his own solo movie, maybe his own trilogy, in addition to future team-ups/Avengers movies.

Yes, but after Infinty War
