When asked if he thinks his now winged Captain America and Harrison Ford’s infamous Red Hulk could take on the likes of Deadpool and Wolverine, Mackie replied, “I think I could definitely give Deadpool a run for his money! I think that would probably be an even fight, I’m pretty good with my wings against his swords! I think the red rim would just cut him to pieces, so I think that could work out. And well, you can’t really beat a Hulk, you can only try to tame a Hulk, so you know Wolverine, I don’t see that going well for him, fighting the Red Hulk.” 

When they asked if he could recruit a Bollywood star as the next Avenger, Mackie expressed, “I think Shahrukh Khan, he’s the damn best!”
