Discussing his role as Sam Wilson aka the Falcon in the Russo brothers sequel to "Captain America: The First Avenger" actor Anthony Mackie (Gangster Squad) kept it simple, stating that
"I use [my wings] a bunch. I fly a lot and I get to fight a lot. I'm looking forward to later on hopefully in 'Cap 3' and other movies that we get to see him grow into who we know now is the Falcon." Fellow actor Frank Grillo (The Grey) also teased his role as Brock Rumlow aka Crossones, hinting that you may not actually see the Crossbones side of his character until a subsequent film (probably not The Avengers sequel as its hard to imagine why Ultron would need Crossbones). Said Grillo,
They're introducing a character who -- I'm not saying anything out of place here -- but starts out as Rumlow and becomes the Crossbones. That's what this film is about [for my character]. Rumlow comes into this as one thing and ... eventually, hopefully, if it goes well, you'll see this guy change. Something happens."
Actress Emily VanCamp (Revenge) also teased her role in the sequel admitting that it's just a minor part. Said VanCamp,
"This is really just an introduction of this character. I'm in the movie just a small amount and you're just sort of getting to know who she is. It's sort of the beginning of who she becomes. We meet her and she's living next to Captain America and they sort of have a little moment together. here's a really sweet, sweet scene where we first see them together and that's sort of the beginning of something for them, whatever that is."
