“Not really. Nothing about the internet surprises me anymore,” Mackie said. “There’s stuff that people find interesting, and I just learned what an Easter egg is, so it’s a whole bunch of things going on that aren’t surprising at all.”
When asked if he really only learned what an Easter Egg was, Mackie said “We don’t go around saying, ‘Yo, you saw that ‘Easter egg’ in Scene 12?’ I mean, that’s not a conversation you have as an actor.”
“I think what [Mackie’s] trying to say is we try not to think as much about it as you think we do” Sebastian Stan said. “It’s a very strange thing, but we are actually not these characters.”
Most Easter Eggs are woven into the writing or things in the background, so it makes complete sense that the actors aren’t really worried about that stuff. Granted, there are exceptions to that rule, but they are focused on playing their characters, not on how that thing in the background ties to an old issue of Captain America.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is directed by Kari Skogland and stars Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/Falcon), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier), Daniel Bruhl (Zemo), Emily VanCamp (Sharon Carter), and Wyatt Russell (John Walker), and you can find the official description below.
“Following the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) team up in a global adventure that tests their abilities—and their patience—in Marvel Studios’ “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.” The all-new series is directed by Kari Skogland; Malcolm Spellman is the head writer.”
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is now available to stream on Disney+.
