My brother Simba hops on the UPstander's podcast! We are both fans of Anthony Mackie and have been for a long time. We enjoyed what he did in the movie, but Hollywood did him like they do many Black male characters (and Black women too). What do we meant by that? Watch and see for yourself! We want Anthony Mackie/Sam Wilson to have the same ranger that Chris Evans/Steve Rogers had! Let's GO! #captainamerica #captainamericabravenewworld #anthonymackie #samwilson #avengers #wintersoldier #thewintersoldier #upstander #disney #disneyplus #hulk #incrediblehulk
