Anthony Mackie hits the big screen in Pain & Gain this week but comic book fans are thrilled to see how the actor will look as Falcon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Mackie was approached by Marvel to play Sam Wilson (aka Falcon) who has served as an Avenger, SHIELD agent and most importantly, the partner and best friend of Steve Rogers.
Mackie tells Collider how joining the blockbuster Marvel Cinematic Universe could impact his career.
“I mean, you know, you do the Marvel movies to garner you the ability to do the movies that you really want to do – the other movies, the smaller movies, you know. So it depends on what exactly you want to do. You know, doing a movie like Captain America – that puts your name in the mouth of everyone in this country and in the living room of everybody so, you know, once that comes out then you can go to the studio and tell them the kind of movie you really want to do.”
Mackie was in great shape for his breakthrough role in The Hurt Locker and got bulked up for Pain & Gain but now he’s getting into superhero shape.
“Well, it’s more so Continue reading Anthony Mackie Talks Falcon in CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLIDER

The family reunion you’ve been waiting for!
Cyclops face to face with his son in Cable and X-Force #7 out this week!
Scott and his revolution team recruited new students away from Logan’s school in the All-New X-Men #10 and Uncanny X-Men #4 crossover by Brian Michael Bendis.
Will Scott try to lure a member of Cable’s crew to his new Xavier School?
Here’s what writer Dennis Hopless says of the Cyclops/Cable dynamic:
“They’re both arrogant tacticians who prefer giving orders to explaining themselves. Their relationship is more complicated because Scott didn’t get the opportunity to raise Nate. Cable respects Cyclops, but as a peer not a parent. And yet, nature beat out nurture in this case because Scott ended up with a son who shares his most irritating personality traits.”
This stunning Salvador Larroca cover to Cable and X-Force #7 says it all: Daddy’s Home.
This will be the first time Cyclops and Cable have reunited since Scott formed the new Uncanny X-Men. How will Nathan respond?

Michael Hogan will be among the stellar cast of celebrities at Fan Expo Vancouver next weekend. Devoted Battlestar Galactica fans will flock to the Vancouver Convention Center April 20th and 21st for a chance to cheer on the actor who played Colonel Saul Tigh on the SyFy series.
I had the opportunity to speak with Hogan in this exclusive preview of his upcoming appearance at Fan Expo Vancouver. I asked the veteran actor how playing Tigh had changed his career.
“I had been acting for 37 years before BSG came along. I’m a journeyman actor. I guess you can say a veteran. I appreciated what was going on. I knew how fantastic this was. Eddie (Edward James Olmos), Mary (McDonnell) was aware. This was incredibly special.”
From Executive Officer to resistance leader to the revelation Continue reading Fan Expo Vancouver Preview: BSG’s Michael Hogan
