How Anthony Mackie Got Ripped To Play The Falcon

As Sam Wilson, AKA the Falcon, Anthony Mackie plays a lean, mean MCU fighting machine. Even before his debut in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Mackie has pretty much been in exceptional shape. So how did he get so ripped? We've got all the details. Anthony Mackie threw his hat into the Marvel ring in the early 2010s, but it would be a while before he got to suit up as the Falcon. In that time, he made a movie with two of the most ripped actors in Hollywood: Mark Wahlberg and the Rock himself, Dwayne Johnson. Mackie had to hit the weights hard for his role in Michael Bay's Pain and Gain, which was very loosely based on a real-life kidnapping executed by some ham-fisted bodybuilders in the 1990s. By Mackie's own admission, he was, quote, lazy and fat when he landed the part of steroid-using meathead Adrian Doorbal, telling BuzzFeed: I was looking for a project to help me get back in the gym and start working out. Mackie was given just five weeks to get in shape for the shoot. To make that happen, he started a regimen of heavy lifting and no cardio. He told Men's Health: I was max repping. [. ] I was doing chest and thighs, back and tris and shoulders, and then Friday would be legs, and I would start over again. It was just constantly ripping the muscle, giving it four days to recover, and then going right back into it.

Movies need to be more inclusive over the body types of heroes. And no fat thor doesn't count. He's overweight because he's depressed.
