The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will be the next Disney+ Marvel show after WandaVision. We’ll see Anthony Mackie reprise his role as Sam Wilson. And Sebastian Stan will return as Bucky Barnes. In the upcoming series, we have been promised that we will see more of Wilson’s backstory.
Sam Wilson Is a “Regular Guy”
Mackie stated, in an interview recently; why he believes people gravitate to his character:
“I think a big part of why people like him is that Sam is a regular guy. He doesn’t have superpowers. He doesn’t have a super serum. And he doesn’t have a super anything. He’s just a regular guy who found himself in a crazy situation.”
Mackie continued:
“I think people see that, and they enjoy that because they can look at Sam and see themselves in that character. Like, we can’t be the Incredible Hulk—he’s the Incredible Hulk! The Falcon is a regular guy who just happened to meet Captain America and volunteered as a fellow soldier to try and save the world. Sam is always Sam. The way it’s written and the way they’ve been playing it is he’s always going to be Sam. The great thing about the series is you get to learn his entire backstory, his life, who he is, and how he became Sam Wilson.”
Mackie also went on to reveal the issues the show will explore:
“It’s no secret that in 2020, we learned a lot about ourselves as individuals and as a country. Sam brings a lot of that to the table—a lot of those issues and questions as a Black man in America in 2020.”
