Believe it or not, Anthony Mackie has now played Sam Wilson/The Falcon in six movies set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the
Altered Carbon star is now set to return to the small screen for Marvel Studios' first Disney+ TV series:
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
During a recent interview with
THR, the actor shed some light on how these shows differ to what we see in theaters, and it definitely sounds like they won't just be more of the same.
"They're going to feel different in and of themselves, because they're shot in a completely different way than the movies" Mackie teased. "I think people are going to be surprised by how in-depth and evolved the characters become by having six to eight hours to them, instead of just two hours."
In the aforementioned six appearances, Mackie was very much a supporting player, but the spotlight is very much being put solely on him as he transforms into the MCU's new Captain America.
"When you're on a team, you play your role," the actor continued. "But with this, you really get to see who the characters are in their lives between the movies."
It's definitely going to be fun spending more time with The Falcon and Bucky, as fans would like Marvel Studios to flesh out both of these characters, especially if they're going to be a big part of proceedings moving forward. Other familiar faces set to be highlighted in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier include Sharon Carter and the villainous Baron Zemo.
