Speaking to the RadioTimes Podcast, Mackie revealed that he is disappointed he didn’t get to do a second season of ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’.

Mackie said, “I really enjoyed doing that show (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier). I was actually excited to do a second season, just so me and Sebastian Stan could get paid to hang out. Because it’s like me, him, and Daniel Brühl. It’s kind of like the perfect storm of happiness. Anything I can do to hang out with Daniel, a dancing Daniel Brühl, makes me very happy.”
