Anthony Mackie was impressed and horrified with Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee

In a recent conversation with Variety at the 2021 MTV Movie and TV Awards, Anthony Mackie expressed his thoughts on the transformation of Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee. He said that Stan sent him a video on set and a few photos which blew him away. The actor mentioned that he was really "surprised and impressed" that his co-star was able to do it. Mackie stated that he was also horrified. He asked Stan what he was doing and if he's playing Tommy Lee, which he was. Mackie noted that it is just humbling when he sees his friend succeed. And Stan "crushed it," he asserted. 

Anthony Mackie praised Sebastian Stan by calling him a great actor. He added that people are now being able to see him for the "chameleon" that he is, and not just the "beautifully amazing, blue-eyed god". Mackie admitted that it is "very refreshing" for him to see his friend win. 

Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan received appreciation for their performances in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series. While Mackie became the new Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Stan as Bucky Barnes is getting over his past traumas.

The cast also includes  Seth Rogen, Nick Offerman, Pepi Sonuga, Mozhan Marnò, Taylor Schilling, Spencer Granese, and Andrew Dice as a mob guy. It is expected to consists of eight episodes.
