But while some may think that Black people filling positions like producer or costume designer was a positive move, Anthony Mackie said it only confirmed Marvel’s lack of diversity.
Mackie played Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe seven times, starting with 2014’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”
“But then when you do ‘Black Panther,’ you have a Black director, Black producer, you have a Black costume designer, you have a Black stunt choreographer,” added Mackie.
Mackie is starring in the upcoming Marvel series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” on Disney Plus, while Diggs stars in TNT’s “Snowpiercer.”
Mackie said it’s imperative for show leaders like him and Diggs to ask questions whenever they see a lack of diversity on sets.
