Behind the scenes

 * Michael B. Jordan read for the part.
 * Mackie was unhappy with the modern take on his costume as Falcon. He wanted the red spandex look from the comics.
 * The filmmakers were interested in adding more of a tactical design to the Falcon costume than was represented in the comic books. Accordingly, they incorporated a lot of real-world webbing, straps and gear. The final result was a costume that retained the iconic parts of the Falcon costume but stripped away the more comic book elements that would not work in the modern day. The Falcon costume takes actor Anthony Mackie 25 minutes to put on.
 * Anthony Mackie did quite a bit of wirework flying as Falcon. The stunt coordinators would fly him 70 feet up in the air and land him precisely on a little tape mark so he could walk right out of the wires and into the scene. Luckily for all involved, Mackie is athletic and highly coordinated, which made everyone’s job easier.
 * Anthony Mackie, whose excitement and energy for his character was infectious, liked to say ‘cut the check!’ whenever something had gone right or a scene had been completed. It became a contagious phrase that caught on and before long everyone on set was saying it.

Trivia

 * In the comics, Sam is the uncle of Jim Wilson.
 * Falcon's costume from the film is based on his Ultimate design.
 * In the comics, Sam Wilson is social worker who help vets with PTSD, in real life, Mackie help vets with PTSD.
