“The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” stars Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie both teased two new Marvel projects over the weekend, and appeared to confirm a new actor coming to Marvel.
What happened?
“The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” stars Stan and Mackie spoke at a virtual global press conference for their new Marvel show on Sunday. The two were asked about which new characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe they’re excited to see.
- Stan said: “One character that sounds really, really, really cool to me is the character that Oscar Isaac is gonna play.” This appeared to be a reference to the character Moon Knight, which Isaac is rumored to play, according to CBR. It hasn’t be confirmed yet, but that’s pretty close to a confirmation.
- “I heard that story and that’s going to be amazing,” Stan said.
Mackie, meanwhile, said “She-Hulk” sounds like an interesting character. But, he said, he wants to spend time in the world of the character “Blade.”
- Mackie said he better have “one line” in the Blade or She-Hulk projects.
