ComingSoon.net/SuperHeroHype bagged a chat with actor Anthony Mackie over the weekend and talked to him about his role as Sam Wilson aka The Falcon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Mackie told the site that he will be starting his training soon and that he’d been reading a lot Captain America and the Falcon comics from the ‘70s, particularly the run written by Steve Englehart that helped define the character.
The actor also said that he found some of Wilson’s backstory interesting given the fact that he moved to L.A. to become a drugdealer and a pimp however he is unsure how much of that will be incorporated into the movie version of his character.

Hi all. I'm Bash, I'm 33, and I became a nerd when I first saw Star Wars as a child. Although I've watched hundreds of movies, read dozens of books and played numerous computer games since, nothing has come close to seeing George Lucas' epic for the very first time. At Following the Nerd, I'm Marc's right hand man and can be heard every Thursday trying to be funny on our radio show. I hope you all like the site and come back often.
