When I read it, we just hugged each other and jumped around in a circle, said Mackie.

With Sam, him being a counselor, he uses more of his brains than brawn.

He uses more of his wit than his fist.

Hes more of a friend to everyone.

Mackie said that he only started reading Marvels comic books after being cast as The Falcon.

A lot of people might not like this, but Ive never read comics, he added.

Go online and search the Booty Scooty [episode].

Because I have kids, I watch all the cartoons.

Ive only just gotten into reading comic books.

Mackie also highlighted that one unique aspect ofCaptain Americafilms is its realistic world compared to other Marvel movies.

If you look at these Marvel movies, they go with different genres, said Mackie.

You have the fantasy world, you have the space world, you have the raccoon world.

With the Captain America stories, it has always been the realistic, grounding world.

Mackie commented on his new outfit forCaptain America: Brave New World.

Its a high-tech suit, he added.

I went to Wakanda, met with everybody in Wakanda, we had dinner.

It was a great time.

They threw me a welcome party.

But when I was leaving, they gave me a suit, right?

I put it on.

My favorite character of all time is the Incredible Hulk, said Mackie.

Ive always been a Hulk fan.

When I was a kid, I used to watch the TV shows.

I just always loved the Hulk.

However, he does have one question relating to when the green-skinned hero hulks up.

I always wondered, How come everything came off except the pants?

Everything his shirt, his shoes came off, but his pants stayed, said Mackie.

I always thought that was weird.
