Avengers: Age Of Ultron - 10 Minor Marvel Characters That Will Appear

2. Falcon

Speaking of sidekicks who probably deserve their own movies, after months and months of strenuously denying any sort of involvement at all that lying so-and-so Anthony Mackie's name is also right there in the Age Of Ultron poster's credits. Which means that Falcon, one of the dozen or so break-out stars of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, will fly again! Well, maybe. Again, Sam Wilson could appear in what is essentially a cameo capacity, and might not even get a chance to pull his wings on and get stuck in. Mackie was one of the highlights of The Winter Soldier, though, even before he got to join the superhero ruckus that Steve Rogers was kicking up with his Edward Snowden-on-steroids shenanigans. That said, his part in the action sequences was super rad, so maybe Marvel will be looking to bring some of that to the Avengers sequel. Or he could just be updating Cap's list of essential blaxploitation soundtracks. Or something else... did you know that Sam Wilson is currently Captain America in the comics?
