THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER Star Anthony Mackie Suits Up As CAPTAIN AMERICA In New Fan-Art

It's thought that Anthony Mackie will don a new Captain America costume in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, & an amazing new piece of fan-art offers an idea of how that could look in the Disney+ series.

Filed Under: Falcon and The Winter Soldier

A recently released poster for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier revealed that Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson will start the series still going by "The Falcon" moniker (hence the title). However, it's believed that he'll wield the shield as the new Captain America by the time the Disney+ series concludes, and a new piece of fan-art now reveals how that could look.

Mackie recently revealed that he'd tried on the costume but backtracked on those comments shortly after. Clearly, Marvel Studios wants to keep us guessing when it comes to what will happen with Sam, especially as it sounds like U.S. Agent is going to be the new, government-appointed Cap.

We don't know what the costume will ultimately look like as of right now, but it's easy to imagine it being a cross between what Steve Rogers wore and his outfit from the comic books.

These Disney+ TV shows are expected to set up what we see on the big screen, and a lengthy adventure revolving around Sam Wilson's transformation into Captain America makes perfect sense. We'll presumably then see him leading a brand new group of Avengers into action in a future movie revolving around Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Check out this new fan-art below:

Continue reading below to check out some big Avengers:
Endgame reveals from the movie's writers and directors!

How Long Have Captain America And Iron Man Been Separated?

Captain America and Iron Man finally reunite when Tony Stark is brought back to Earth, but it's not exactly a happy occasion after everything that happened in Captain America: Civil War. Surprisingly, the Russo Brothers aren't entirely sure how long it's been since they last crossed paths and Joe says "We'll let someone else figure that out" after throwing around numbers like six and eight...years!

Presumably, he's referring to how long it's been since they've teamed up. At any rate, the significance of the moment Tony finally gives Steve his shield back wasn't lost on the filmmakers.

"That's the value I think in serialized storytelling and telling a mosaic like this, is that you...if you make choices that take years to resolve, the audience feels that," Joe continued. "Because they too have waited years for this to resolve. And it has been since 2016 since these characters have had a pleasant scene between each other."

Captain Marvel Vs. Thor - Who's Stronger?

One of Avengers: Endgame's most enjoyable moments comes when Captain Marvel squares up to Thor and the God of Thunder declares that he likes the powerful hero. During the Director's Commentary, Joe goes so far as to say that he believes Carol Danvers could actually put Thor in his place.

"It's interesting seeing the Avengers with Captain Marvel," he muses. "I think that she dimensionalizes them in a really great way. Just from a pure power standpoint and what her abilities are. If you're talking about a collection of heroes, and you're gonna go face Thanos who we believe still has the gauntlet."

"She is as powerful, if not more powerful than Thor, and you suddenly have hope again," the director continues. "Because they all know what happened at the end of the last movie, [Thanos] walked through them like they were paper."

Why Captain America Swears More

You may not have noticed this, but Captain America swears quite a bit more in Avengers: Endgame than he did in previous MCU releases (how times have changed since that "Language" moment, eh?).

That's something Joe pointed out when he noted, "You notice, this 2023 Cap swears a lot more than the old Cap." McFeely adds: "Yeah, I noticed this. I didn't remember it on set." Joe, however, has an explanation, as he points out that, "I mean, this guy's been through a lot..."

So, intentional or not, there's a good reason for all that extra swearing!

Smart Hulk Wasn't Finished Until The Last Minute

"Smart Hulk is one of those characters that we really didn't see in full, until, like, the last week before we delivered the movie because the VFX take so long on a character like that," Joe reveals, making it clear just how difficult it was to pull of the character's new look in Avengers: Endgame.

"We should give credit to Mark Ruffalo, who is an amazing actor," Anthony added. "He worked so hard figuring this character out, because, you know he's been playing these two versions. He's been playing Banner. He's been playing Hulk. But figuring out who the combination of them is, was a real journey for him. We did a lot of experimentation. Spent a lot of time on a motion capture stage, playing with different ideas with Mark. He worked really hard to find this character."

Black Widow's Mission In Tokyo

Avengers: Endgame is a very long, very busy movie, so why take the time to have Black Widow track Hawkeye down in Tokyo? "There's no one who could have pulled him out of this other than her," says Joe. "No one else shows up and gets him to come home. "

"Well it's also implied that this is essentially what he did for her when he pulled her out of being a Russian Agent," Markus adds before Joe concludes: "That's right it comes full circle, their relationship. Right? He had an opportunity to kill her and he changed her life, and now here she is changing his." Whether we'll see their first meeting in Black Widow obviously remains to be seen.

Wait, People Laughed At Thanos' Decapitation?

Apparently, both the movie's writers and directors have been present at screenings where people break into laughter after Thanos' decapitation. Needless to say, that's left them baffled.

"It gets a laugh every time I'm in the theater," McFeely says. "Or like a nervous shock, right?" Anthony points out that he's noticed the same thing, and also puts it down to what a jaw-dropping moments it is. "People laugh at that and I was always shocked by that."

However, McFeely was quick to point out that Alan Silvestri's score helps take away some of that levity. "I think the Silvestri score and the long slow walk here make you go, "Oh, crap. We've got nothing now," he explains, referring to the hopelessness of their situation.

The Insane Number Of VFX Shots

You don't need us to tell you about the huge amount of CGI that's utilized in Avengers: Endgame, as almost every scene is enhanced with visual effects. However, between this movie and Avengers: Infinity War, it's said that there were 6000 shots with visual effects.

That might be a new record for a two films shot back to back, and shows just how much work went into them.

The Ramifications Of The Five-Year Time-Jump

Avengers: Endgame's jump five years into the future has led to a lot of discussion, and during this Director's Commentary, the filmmakers talked more about what happened to those who were in planes or boats at sea. "[It's a] very complicated premise, right?" Anthony asks.

"You know, bringing people back from five years ago is a messy proposition any way you look at it, not even talking about the time travel complexities of it. You know, that's something I know some people like to think about, after watching the movie." McFeely is unsure about what happened to those who were on a plane, while Anthony questions people's marital decisions.

Joe, however, points out that "one of the most compelling things about the movie, is doubling down at the end and not reversing it." As McFeely says, they have to "own" that decision.

Brie Larson Played Captain Marvel In Endgame Before Her Solo Movie

Before Brie Larson started working on Captain Marvel, she was already playing Carol Danvers in Avengers: Endgame.

"It should be noted, people might know this already, that's basically Brie Larson's first or second day," McFeely said, before Joe then confirmed that her conversation with Thor in The Avengers Compound was actually the Oscar-winning star's first day on the movie's set.

How The Idea Of Time-Travel Came Up

After finishing Avengers: Infinity War's screenplay, McFeely and Markus admit that they found themselves in a tough spot as they needed to find a way to undo everything Thanos did in that film.

Well, the scene between Steve Rogers and Scott Long where they discuss time-travel reportedly mirrored their own conversations early on when they were talking about how to write the screenplay.

The upper half with the shoulders is phenomenal. Amongst the best costumes to date. But once you get into the mid section it’s way too derivative. Falcon should have more of his original costume implemented.

bkmeijer2 - 9/8/2019, 5:13 AM

I really think they should replace all the blue with red, since Mackie said he will stay Falcon throughout the show

KWilly - 9/8/2019, 5:13 AM

It's just a shame we gotta wait til next fall for this.

CorndogBurglar - 9/8/2019, 5:44 AM

Did this guy not hear the news that Mackie said he won't be Captain America in this show?

Either way, I still don't know how much I believe that. He might be Falcon for the whole series until the end. I can't imagine they wouldn't make him Cap. I mean, even the logo has Cap's shield in it...

CorndogBurglar - 9/8/2019, 5:49 AM

@MalseMarcel

I'm sure he will officially become Cap at the end. Maybe the last episode or two. He'll get the suit and shield and be off to the races.

There's no way they would give him the shield at the end of Endgame, create this show which even has Cap's shield in the logo, and then not show Falcon as Captain America.

It may take the entire season to get to it, as I feel like it will more than likely be a huge plot point about whether he actually deserves it or not. But we will definitely see him suit up at the end.

OmegaDaGrodd - 9/8/2019, 6:24 AM

The wording of the article title really sets you up with expectations the last 4 words absolutely crush into a dust of depression and disappointment

MyCoolYoung - 9/8/2019, 8:16 AM

That white in this is gorgeous

Ha1frican - 9/8/2019, 9:37 AM

I honestly think the show will end with both of them realizing that neither should be Captain America

rocketeuropa - 9/8/2019, 2:26 PM

Uhh...NO!
There is only ONE Captain America.
Hopefully all of Cap's enemies gang up on Sam and he realizes he can't do crap without the Super Soldier serum and they
beat the tar out of him.
Why does there have more Captain America or Iron Men??

bkmeijer2 - 9/8/2019, 3:22 PM

@CorndogBurglar

I guess you’re right about him becoming the new Captain America at the end of the show. Thinking about it, the next movie he appears in is probably as Captain America. And not everyone who watches the movies probably has seen the series, so when Endgame sets him up as the new Cap and the next movie shows him as Falcon again would indeed make no sense

noahthegrand - 9/8/2019, 9:13 PM

I can see why a lot of people in this comments section don’t run major film studios

OptimusPrimeTime - 9/9/2019, 8:03 AM

Literally my only disappointment with Endgame was the shield being handed to Falcon. It felt completely forced.

Even Falcon said so himself... more less, "Ill leave the superhero stuff to you [Cap]."

It should have been Bucky.
