Despite playing a superhero in Marvel movies on the big screen, actor

Anthony Mackie

doesn't feel safe in Birmingham.

In a roundtable interview from the set of Marvel's upcoming "Captain America: Civil War,"

, including Mackie's character the Falcon, the band Earth, Wind & Fire, the Grindr app and "the horror that is Birmingham, Alabama."

Quint said that Mackie, whom he calls "one of the most charismatic actors working today," made "a press conference style interview flow like a 1:1 conversation."

The breezy talk included a bit about Birmingham, Ala., for which Mackie expressed a deep fear that should surprise and probably amuse residents.

After joking about shooting in Birmingham instead of Atlanta on the "Avengers" movies, Mackie was then pressed by Quint (who said he hails from Alabama) to elaborate on his experience in the southern city.

"It's bananas!" said Mackie, a New Orleans native. "You drive through that m-----f------ and make it out alive. Yeah. Go to Birmingham. Just check it out, dawg."

He then describes seeing a guy driving a truck with "deer legs hanging out," an unusual sight to the star of "The Hurt Locker" and "The Night Before."

We're not sure which part of Birmingham Mackie drove through to inform this unfortunate opinion of the city, but I'm sure locals would love to see the Falcon fly back in to perhaps see the sunnier side.

If not, then it's his loss. We're looking forward to DC's "Batman v Superman" anyway.

Read Mackie's full comments about Birmingham from the AICN interview below. "Captain America: Civil War" opens in theaters May 6, 2016.

Q: They've talked about this being a very global movie. Is there any specific location you're excited about at all?

Anthony Mackie: The thing about Avengers 1 that was so cool was they were in New York. I was like "Damn!" I really wanted to go shoot a few days in New York, but we were, like, in Birmingham, Alabama. It was like... "Why are we shooting here? Why are we doing Atlanta for Birmingham?"

We have a bunch of different locations, but I really wanted it to be a major city like New York or LA.

Q: But you were in Birmingham, Alabama?

Anthony Mackie: No, why would we shoot in Birmingham? I was using that as an example. Have you ever been to Birmingham?!?

Q: I'm from there.

Anthony Mackie: Wait, you're from Alabama or Birmingham?

Q: Alabama.

Anthony Mackie: Are you from Birmingham, Alabama?

Q: No.

Anthony Mackie: Alright. Go to Birmingham. It's bananas! You drive through that m-----f----- and make it out alive. Yeah. Go to Birmingham. Just check it out, dawg. I drive to New Orleans once every two weeks and I hit Birmingham and I'm like (looks terrified, hands on an invisible steering wheel). Literally just look at the front of the car. Don't look out the window. Don't look out the window.

I have this picture... There was this dude in a truck and he was hauling ass. He was in a Toyota truck, so that tells you what kind of dude he was. Who the f--- buys a Toyota truck? So, he had, like, deer legs hanging out of the back of his truck, like tied up and out. It was like one, two, three, four deers. Then there was some other animal. It wasn't a deer. The legs... I don't know what it was, but it was hanging, like he had it tied from a rack, I guess it was a gun rack, out the back window... Carcasses. Driving. And leaving a trail of blood as he drives down the highway.

Don't look, dawg. Keep going. Whatever that fifth thing is, don't look.
