Mackie is set to reprise the role of Falcon in the third solo Captain America film, which is set to start filming later this spring. The movie will explore the popular Civil War storyline from the comics, and Mackie is already excited about what we can expect from the upcoming Marvel film.

Speaking to Collider, the actor said: "Let's just say it's a wing-ding-doozy of a time. The great thing about it is, after seeing The Avengers I joked and said Captain America 2 was Avengers 1.5.

"Now with Avengers 2 coming out… Captain America 3 is so far beyond Avengers 2.5 and onto the realm of Avengers 3.8. It's by far one of the most stupendous rides Marvel has put together."

The movie will see Chris Evans return as Captain America, while Robert Downey Jr, Sebastian Stan, and Scarlett Johansson are all set to return as Iron Man, Winter Soldier and Black Widow - this is going to be the first time that we are going to see Tony Stark in a Captain America film. We saw Winter Solider and Black Widow both play major roles in Captain America: The Winter Soldier last year.

As well as some familiar names on the cast list, we are also going to be introduced to Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther - which will lead into a solo film for the Marvel character. Civil War will also see Anthony and Joe Russo back in the director's chair - they steered The Winter Solider to huge critical and commercial success in 2014.

It is going to be a busy few years for Marvel, with a third Captain America and Thor movies in the pipeline, along with a second Guardians of the Galaxy film. Black Panther and Doctor Strange are two of the brand new franchises, while Avengers: The Infinity War will be split into two films in 2018 and 2019.

As for Mackie, he has also completed work on Our Brand of Crisis and Triple Nine, which will see him team up with director John Hillcoat. Aaron Paul, Kate Winslet, Gal Gadot, Woody Harrelson, Casey Affleck, and Chiwetel Ejiofor make up an all-star cast list.

Captain America: Civil War is released 26th April 2016.
