Anthony Mackie In Negotiations To Join ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’

While there has been no confirmation on who he will play it has been reported that actor Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker) is in negotiations to join the cast of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Everyone is going to say it and we are going to say they may just be right. But keep in mind that I am saying they might be, not that they are. The Hollywood Reporter believes Mackie may be playing the role of ‘The Falcon’.

While Marvel would not comment nor divulge character details, it is believed that Mackie will portray the Falcon, one of mainstream comics’ first black superheroes and perhaps its first American one.

While this could be entirely true I am not going to place my bets on that one yet. Mackie may just be playing a supporting role. If anything he could just be playing a descendent of Gabe Jones who was played by Derek Luke in Captain America: The First Avenger. Only time will tell my friends!
