Anthony Mackie Delivers Surprise News about “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”
Anthony Mackie, famed for his role as Sam Wilson in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” recently disclosed his disappointment over the lack of a second season for the acclaimed Disney+ series in an interview with RadioTimes.
A Shared Disappointment
Mackie revealed that he had looked forward to reprising his role in a second season of the series, not least because it meant he could continue to work with co-stars Sebastian Stan and Daniel Brühl. According to Mackie, working with these two was “the perfect storm of happiness.”
Yet, while Mackie’s hopes for a second season have been dashed, fans’ favorite actors may continue to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in other roles.
Changes in the Cast for Captain America Sequel
In related news, while Stan and Brühl might not return in “Captain America: Brave New World,” Danny Ramirez and Carl Lumbly are set to reprise their roles from “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” as Joaquin Torres and Isaiah Bradley, respectively. The upcoming sequel also boasts the likes of Harrison Ford, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Shira Haas in its line-up.
Behind-the-Scenes Issues Delay Sequel Release Date
However, the production of “Captain America: Brave New World” hasn’t been without its challenges. Originally slated for a release this year, the film has been postponed till February 14, 2025. Reports indicate that poor test screenings necessitated extensive reshoots, resulting in the delay. The postponement was also partly due to the underperformance of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels,” as the studio is now more cautious about avoiding potential failures.
Fans Still in for a Treat
Despite the setbacks, fans have plenty to look forward to from the MCU. “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” will be released on 4K Ultra HD on April 30th for fans to enjoy all over again, alongside other highly anticipated series such as “Moon Knight,” “Andor,” and “Obi-Wan Kenobi.”
While the prospects for a second season of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” may have dimmed, it’s clear that the MCU is far from done with the beloved characters from the series. And who knows? Perhaps fan demand will convince the studio to green light another season after all.
Until then, fans will have to hold on to Mackie’s words from his interview, “When they decided to go back to the movies, it is what it is, but I don’t have my friends anymore, so it kind of dampens it a little bit.”
It’s clear that the absence of a second season isn’t just a disappointment for fans, but for the actors as well, who clearly share a close bond forged through working together on such an iconic show. The continuing adventure of these characters in other iterations of the MCU will be something to keep an eye on in the years to come.
