Anthony Mackie confirmed that Captain America’s wings are made of Vibranium in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The new Cap joined The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week to talk about his latest stint in the MCU. The host actually got to show Mackie his Sam Wilson action figure that goes along with the show. In the last episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, fans got their first look at the hero’s new costume and all the fun new tools at his disposal. A lot of people rightfully assumed that a new suit and wings were coming after John Walker tore them off in Episode 5. However, unless they read the comics, they couldn’t have anticipated the full scale of this new look for Sam Wilson. Mackie is clearly excited about the whole thing and Colbert is only too happy to bask in that warm feeling. This explanation makes deflecting that falling piece of scrap in the finale make a ton more sense. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out going forward in the MCU.
