I was very shocked and afraid,” Mackie said during a virtual panel with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation about Marvel’s pitch for Falcon and Winter Soldier.
“Once Kari were put on the show, I got excited about it,” Mackie said.
Falcon and Winter Soldier starts with Sam relinquishing the star-spangled shield of Captain America, only becoming Steve’s successor after the government-stamped John Walker proves to be unworthy in the role of America’s newest hero.
He told Steve, ‘It feels like this is someone else’s, it feels like it’s yours.’ So at no point in time was he excited or looking forward to the idea of becoming Captain America.
