Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are opening up about the MCU bromance, and poking fun at their co-stars.
The two sat down for an interview with Jess Cagle and Julia Cunningham for this week’s episode of SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Podcast with Julia Cunningham.
During the conversation, the The Falcon and the Winter Soldier co-stars were asked about the extent of their relationship.
“We’re friends. It’s, it’s hard because, you know, we always traveled to different places and do different stuff, but, you know, we talk to each other, I would say more than the average person and, you know, I, I love admire and respect Sebastian. I feel like, you know, he’s for, for our generation, the work that he’s been able to do and the resume that he’s been able to put together is admirable. You know? So it’s a mutual respect, appreciation and understanding and, and me trying to get on that couch though,” Anthony said.
“Yeah, no, I, I completely agree…like he’s been in so many movies that I’ve watched and I’ve loved and he’s turned in performance after performance for a very long time…maybe it’s a protective nature that we also developed because we have been close and we’ve gone down this path and now, we have this thing and it worked out. But we’re also aware of how we can keep laughing at each other and at the whole thing, because it just goes by like that, you know what I mean? You can’t take yourself too seriously. And he’s definitely taught me that more,” Sebastian went on to say.
The two also jokingly discussed their competition within the MCU, including Tom Hiddleston and Tom Holland.
“We throw it down, man. Now the problem is, you know, when Loki comes out, you know, I mean…there is competition within Marvel,” Anthony said.
“There is competition. I want to see somebody do an algorithm or figure out if we were in a movie theater, how much money we would have made’ ’cause I know it would have been more than Tom Holland as Spider-Man,” he went on to say.
“One last thing to say: if The Night Manager is any indication…then either we are screwed or in a really great place,” Sebastian jokingly added.
“Anybody named Tom gets it all day,” Anthony laughed.
