Anthony Mackie | The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

The purpose of a double is to trick the eye of the viewers, whether it is from afar or at a closer distance. Credit goes to Anthony Mackie’s double in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier for achieving precisely that. With Aaron Toney having his back, the actor can be assured that all action sequences are done perfectly. Their stance is almost identical that an ordinary person looking from far away would mistake one for the other.

Adopting each other’s quirks is only natural, considering the length of time they had worked together. Toney has been Mackie’s double for a number of films, including Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Ant-Man. The two are said to be loyal to each other and would usually confer on the best moves before executing them. They had also developed a strong friendship over the years, which most likely made Mackie sad when his double announced his retirement from the industry.
