Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in full swing, withCaptain America: Civil Warclosing in on $1 billion worldwide at the box office, after just a few weeks in theaters. While the studio has this phase set in stone, many are wondering what they have up their sleeve for Phase 4, with the studio setting three dates in 2020 for unspecified movies. Marvel Studios presidentKevin Feigerecently teased that they’re is committed to making a stand aloneBlack Widowmovie as part of Phase 4, and it seems that one of the MCU’s other heroes wants to be a part of this story as well.
During an interview withHitfix,Anthony Mackierevealed that he would like his character The Falcon to be involved in a potentialBlack Widow movie. Of course, bothBlack Widowand The Falcon were on opposite sides of one another inCaptain America: Civil War, but that doesn’t mean he won’t lend her a hand in a solo movie. Here’s whatAnthony Mackiehad to say, revealing he would like to see more of an “espionage-type” thriller for the standaloneBlack Widow.
“If they made a Black Widow movie, it would be more of a spy espionage-type movie, which would be great, to see a female James Bond or something like that. Well, I think Black Widow needs a little bit of aerial support! I would love, in any capacity, to be a part of that. I’ve always been a huge fan ofScarlett’s, and I’ve always, since I met her, just really admired her as a person. So in whatever capacity I would be used - Falcon would fly for Black Widow.”
Earlier this month, a poll was conducted with 1,000 moviegoers who already had purchased tickets to seeMarvel’s Civil War. These fans were asked which of the current Avengers should get their own standalone movie, and the overwhelming winner wasBlack Widow, who grabbed 48% of the vote, easily beating outPaul Bettany’s Vision (15%) andAnthony Mackie’sFalcon(12%). As for The Falcon, it hasn’t been confirmed what movie he’ll pop up in next. Here’s what he had to say, when asked if he knows whether or not The Falcon will surface in the upcomingBlack Panthermovie, set for release on August 21, 2025.
“I don’t (know). Marvel is so interesting. They don’t tell us anything. They basically give you little tidbits every now and then.”
