Marvel Studios Critics Of Falcon Casts Regarding Religion

Anthony Mackie (Marvel Studios)

JAKARTA - Actor Anthony Mackie, who plays Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, expressed his disappointment with the production house. In the Variety's Actors on Actors talk session, Mackie said that the production house does not see religiousness in recruiting the production team.

As a large production house, Marvel has a big role in making diversity both from the selection of film players to production crews. "It bothers me that I'm shooting seven Marvel films where every producer, director, stunt, costume designer, assistant, is white."

However, they only recruited black people when there was production related to black people. For example, Black Panther, which was released in 2018.

At that time, Marvel chose black producer Nate Moore and the cast and crew were black. If this is done, in fact it does not look progressive and is considered by Mackie to be far more racist.

"Because if you only recruit black people for black movies, do you mean they are not good enough if you have a lot of white players?" Said the actor who was born on 23 September.

Despite playing Falcon or Sam Wilson since 2014, this will be the first time for Anthony Mackie to voice his criticism of Marvel Studios. Plus, he is currently producing the series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier which will be broadcast on Disney Plus.

Marvel Studios has not answered Mackie's statement regarding this matter, but Marvel fans also regretted the treatment of the production house. What do you think?
