I literally found out yesterday in a grocery store, a surprised Mackie said. The checkout guy named Dwayne, a cool cat, he s like, Yo, man. Is this real?! [holds up a cell phone] I m like, I haven t heard anything. That s what I love about working for Marvel. They call you, they re like, Come to L.A. We wanna tell you what s going on. So, I m excited to see what happens, but I haven t heard anything.
Mackie s excitement is palpable, considering the finale of the hit show in which he costars with Sebastian Stan ended last Friday with his regular guy counselor, Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, finally assuming the mantle of Captain America and being given a sparkling new uniform and flight suit courtesy of the Wakandans, as you can see by this new poster the streamer released.
