Sebastian Stan & Anthony Mackie Compete To See Who’s Better Friends With Chris Evans In New Video

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier stars Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan compete to see who’s better friends with Chris Evans in a hilarious new video. After months of anticipation, Disney+ last week premiered its newest Marvel series, starring Mackie as winged hero Sam Wilson and Stan as angst-ridden super-soldier Bucky Barnes.

In addition to fleshing out the backstory of Wilson and updating fans on what Barnes is doing post-Endgame, that first episode played a little bit with fan expectations by introducing the new Captain America – who needless to say is nothing like Captain America as played in the MCU by Evans. It remains to be seen what happens with this “new” Captain America, but what’s certain is that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier promises to be action-packed. Another certainty is that the show will eventually see its two main characters teaming up, giving Stan and Mackie a chance to show off their on-screen chemistry.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

Stan and Mackie have indeed already been giving fans a taste of their fun rapport during recent publicity appearances for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and the latest such appearance saw the two actors joking around with Josh Horowitz on the Comedy Central YouTube show Stir Crazy. At one point in the show, Horowitz prompted the stars to fight over which one of them is actually better friends with their former (and maybe future?) MCU castmate Evans. The result was a hilarious texting contest which saw both men firing off a quick message to Evans and waiting to see which of them received a reply first. The contest begins at 1:18 of the video in the space below, and ends with Evans’ reply texts at 3:21:

Ultimately Mackie was the first to receive a reply from Evans, with a second reply coming in to Stan just seconds later. Clearly Evans is familiar with such texting races because the Captain America actor’s reply to Stan was “He beat you by a second.” Elsewhere in the fun video, the two actors play a game in which they try to recognize the butts of themselves and their MCU co-stars via close-up images. Another game has them auditioning for other iconic roles, with Mackie nailing Wolverine and James Bond, while Stan falters at those characters but gives a memorable reading of a famous Dom Toretto line from the Fast and the Furious movies. Fans also learn from the video that Mackie would rather be NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice than Captain America (interesting as he seems destined to become the real new Captain America).

Overall the video is a lot of fun and gives Mackie and Stan a chance to show their lighter sides after being very serious in the first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Hopefully fans will soon get a chance to see the two performers play off each other on the show, and flash the same chemistry while battling bad guys that they demonstrate while competing for Evans’ affection and trying to recognize butts on YouTube.
