The ComicBookMovie.com team was present for this morning's The Falcon and The Winter Soldier global press conference, and we'll be bringing you lots of great updates from the event today.

One of the more interesting questions came when Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan were asked which new Phase 4 characters they're most excited to interact with. The actors had two very different answers, but we think you'll agree that there are some exciting team-up possibilities mentioned here!

Sebastian Stan: One character that sounds really, really, really cool to me is the character that Oscar Isaac is going to play. Is it Knight Moon? No...Moon Knight! 

Anthony Mackie: Knight Moon?

Sebastian Stan: Anthony, you didn't even know what I was talking about, so relax, okay?Anyway, Moon Knight. I heard that story, and I was like, 'That's going to be amazing.' That's my vote. 

Anthony Mackie: I would have to say She-Hulk. [She's] an interesting character I'm looking forward to seeing. But, i would really - Kevin - like to spend some time in Blade world. I would love...I'll say this. I remember, they were shooting Spider-Man in Harlem on 121st Street, and there was this restaurant. I was sitting outside having lunch with my friend who was the manager and they were shooting Spider-Man. I was a huge Tobey Maguire fan and I love Tobey Maguire. I saw [Joy Bryant] and she had one line, and she said, 'It's Spider-Man.' I got on the phone to my agent and said, 'Dammit, I better have one line in one of these movies.' Kevin, I want to be the [Joy Bryant] of She-Hulk or Blade! [Laughs] I'll wear prosthetics. 

A Winter Soldier/Moon Knight team-up? The new Captain America meeting Mahershala Ali's Blade? Both are very exciting to think about, but whether they'll come to pass remains to be seen. After all, it's still early days for this new era of MCU storytelling, and COVID has caused a lot of big delays.

Which Phase 4 meetings are you most excited to see in the MCU over the next few years?

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier premieres on Disney+ this Friday, March 19th!

I can't disagree more on this. At least for the first blade movie I feel it should be mostly independent. Maybe a few references like pointing out how the snap and blip effected the vampires, and of course an end credit scene, but blade can and has been incredibly interesting on its own. Give us at least one where it's almost entirely standalone.

@Origame - I wonder if the snap/blip even did affect vampires in the MCU. Depending on what rules of "living creatures" being [affected] they're following here, lol.

I'm sure they were snapped but if not, their food supply was definitely affected. Maybe that could be a story point.

@Kurne - I guess it also depends on how vampire works in the mcu. If they're magic based then yeah I could see them not getting snapped, but if it's a virus like in the other blade movies then they'd probably still count as alive (remember vampirism was cured in that first movie by a scientist, and she was alive afterwards).

Just gonna throw Shaka King in there as a suggestion for the Blade director. And Mark Isham for the score. Man did I love Judas and the Black Messiah.

It's a shame Blade is being done by a Feige man lives in his own world and only cares about money who sees no point in it being R rated and will water it down just like I always thought to cater to families. Just like The Punisher Blade is a character that I feel works better outside of the world of other heroes, The most the comics where he does interact with other Marvel heroes don't really work well.

Why would we want or need Falcon in a Blade movie?

@marvel72 - Loosen up mate. And it's only one line. What's wrong with Falcon popping up and saying "it's Blade!"?

Blade is something I’m REALLY looking forward to. I genuinely don’t know how it’s going to work but at this point I know better than to question Fiege.
