"The Hurt Locker" actor Anthony Mackie has revealed what to expect on the relationship between his character and Paul Rudd's "Ant-Man" in Joe Russo and Anthony Russo's forthcoming Marvel Comics film "Captain America: Civil War."
Mackie debut his character Falcon in the Russo's "Captain America: Winter Soldier." In his interview with Cinema Blend to promote David Gordon Green's upcoming comedy drama film "Our Brand Is Crisis," the actor said that Falcon and Ant-Man would grow in "Captain America: Civil War." He added that Rudd and he just made fun of each other all the time that it had just been brought into the film.
For Mackie, he said that he respected Rudd's "royals" and that he was pulling for his royals; however, they just made fun of each other all the time.
