After announcing the title of “Captain America,” Marvel may have found one of the next leading men. Rumors have sprung up stating that Anthony Mackie is in talks to play The Falcon in the second Captain America movie.

Sam Wilson made his first appearance in the Marvel comic book in 1969, during Captain America #117, and was also Marvel’s first African-American superhero. The character continued to be a regular in the book throughout most of the 1970s. Sam Wilson was a social worker in Harlem who shared a deep emotional understanding with the birds around him, including Redwing, his own falcon. As a result, one of his “powers” was the ability to fly due to a flight harness he created.

Although not much information about the second film has been released, the title alone stipulates that the plot will follow Ed Brubaker’s “Winter Soldier” story, revealing the fate of “Bucky” Barnes post “Captain America: The First Avenger.”
