Anthony Mackie stalked Marvel for five years for a role in one of their franchises. He’s telling CineMovie he pitched them playing Panther or Luke Cage, characters from the Marvel comics . Now that he’s playing the Falcon in CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, he’s targeting the Hulk as his next partner as a dynamic duo.
