Re: Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier
Luke Cage is another character, falsely accused criminal, government experiments, protects the inner city. A better character than Falcon. i get that Falcon is part of Cap's story, but so are T'Challa and Wakanda. Hell is shield is made from Vibranium which is only found in Wakanda.
i get that he's excited. he should be. His career is starting to take the positive turn he had always hoped. But he's still the sidekick. And lets be honest we are never going to get a Falcon movie. Hell at this rate Fury and he are going to be the only black "superheroes" to probably make it to the screen. And neither is all that great. Fury will never take centerstage in an Avenger film, and Sam Jackson is too old to show how much of a badass Fury was when he was younger.
And his talk about kids looking up to Falcon is great but compare Falcon to BP. T'Challa is the King and Spiritual Leader of his people. He is Cap's equal physically. One of the 4 smartest people in all of Marvel. Maybe only behind Reed. He's part of the Illuminati(Marvel version). Is from the most advanced nation on Earth. And he can't even get a hand wave from Disney... But we can get a talking racoon with a gun. Or QuickSilver and Scarlett Witch in the next Avengers. But no BP. And then the **** in charge says people won't buy Wakanda for whatever bull**** reason he makes up. I loved the 1st Cap and will see this, but Marvel/Disney is making it clear where they stand.
And yeah the guy from 42 would be awesome. I always wanted Chewetel Eijofor to play BP, but he's getting old. And I don't think he would take the part.
Audiences not buying Wakanda is equivalent to audiences not buying magic in a Iron Man story. Nonsense. Falcon may not have had many memorable individual stories, but he was a friend and partner to Cap for a long time. He's as much a part of Cap's story as anyone else, and warrants being in the movie. Plus, he was an interesting character in that he was part of the inner city community, was a social worker, and former criminal. I do have fears about how they are going to deal with him in the movie though, since it appears as if they are making him just another military commando a la Hawkeye or Rhodey.

I agree with your opinions of Black Panther and on Anthony Mackie, but how is he missing the point? He's enthusiastic about his character. And Falcon does have his fans.
But yes, I'd love to see a Panther film. Maybe portrayed by the guy who played Jackie Robinson in 42.
