Ever since Marvel fans first saw Mackie (Sam Wilson/Falcon) and Stan (Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier) properly team up in Captain America: Civil War (2016), they haven’t been able to get enough of the duo.
After what was seemingly their final scene together with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) in Avengers: Endgame (2019), the fan community clamored for more of the unlikely partnership between the flamboyant Sam and stoic Bucky.

Then, in early 2021, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and his team delivered in the form of six-episode series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In the season finale episode, Wilson officially took-up Cap’s shield and the mantle of Captain America.
Soon after the series wrapped, Mackie’s involvement in Malcom Spellman’s Captain America 4 was confirmed, though Stan’s appearance in the project remains purely speculation at this time.

And, although fans haven’t yet gotten their wish for a Season 2 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Mackie and Stan’s friendship is going strong. Now, CMT Awards co-host Mackie has confirmed that his close friend is, in fact, the Avenger he would be most likely to take to a deserted island.

In the video below, the actor said:
“I would say Lizzie Olsen because I love to laugh at her because she’s a funny human being, but you know, everywhere I go, I take Sebastian. He’s my right hand. I’m sorry for being for unsurprising but that’s my dude, so if I’m going to a deserted island for five days, I’m gonna take my dude. We could do some fishing, drink a few coconuts. It’d be great.”
