While promoting Altered Carbon, Anthony Mackie talked a bit about throwing Captain America’s shield in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
During the Super Bowl, we got our first official look at The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series in Marvel Studios’ Disney Plus TV spot. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be following the events of Avengers: Endgame, where we saw the Captain America mantle passed onto Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson. In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier footage, we saw Anthony Mackie throw the Captain America shield for the first time.
However, it sounds like Anthony Mackie will not suit up as Captain America right away. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier footage also featured U.S. Agent with the Captain America shield as well. Anthony Mackie has been making the rounds promoting Altered Carbon season two. In an interview with Comicbook.com, Anthony Mackie talked a little bit about his experience throwing Captain America’s shield in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier:
“I was surprised that they used me because you have a double, a dude that looks like you who’s like a gymnast and he does all this stuff. That’s when they’re like, ‘All right, Anthony, you do it.’ And I’m like, ‘Dude, you just saw what this dude did! How you gonna asked me to do that?’ So, I was surprised when I saw the Super Bowl trailer that they actually used me throwing the shield.”
Anthony Mackie was also surprised by how heavy Captain America’s shield was:
“That thing is heavy dude. That thing is it’s like 12 pounds. So you’re standing there with 12 pounds on your arm all day after a while your shoulder just gives. So, we have some pretty cool shield throwing sequences.”
