It is noteworthy that the actor was referring to the events of the Disney+ miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, in which Samuel Thomas Wilson –played by Anthony Mackie- finally embraces the shield and mantle of Captain America. Wilson had been serving as the first Captain’s sidekick, Falcon. Wilson is set to take the lead in the new MCU film.
Anthony Mackie debuted with MCU’s Sam Wilson, a.k.a. Falcon, in the 2014 movie Captain: America: The Winter Soldier. 2019’s Avengers: Endgame concludes with Steve handing over his shield to Wilson.
Recently, The Hollywood Reporter announced, “Julius Onah would direct the next installment.” Currently, no date has been revealed by Marvel Studios for the upcoming movie.
