In the Marvel cinematic universe, Sebastian Stan plays Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie plays Sam Wilson / Falcon and Chris Evans starred as Steve Rogers / Captain America. Together, the three actors starred in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
Mackie and Stan currently appear in the new Disney + series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. During an interview promoting the Marvel miniseries, Stan and Mackie tested who Evans would answer first.
Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie are friends of Chris Evans
On March 23, Comedy Central uploaded an episode of Move the Fool with Josh Horowitz on Youtube. In the video, Horowitz interviewed Mackie and Stan as part of promotions for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
At the beginning of the interview, Horowitz asked the two actors who was closest to Evans.
“Who is Chris Evans’ best friend?” Horowitz asked.
“Me,” Mackie replied quickly.
Stan then replied, “And to quote Chris Evans, ‘News for me!'”

Did Chris Evans answer Sebastian Stan or Anthony Mackie first?
Since Stan and Mackie claimed to be closer to Evans, Horowitz proposed that the two Marvel actors send messages to Evans at the same time. Whoever Evans texted back first would be considered the closest friend.
“OK, if you two texted Chris now, at the same time, who would he reply to first?” Horowitz asked.
“Let’s see,” said Mackie, accepting the challenge. “We have to ship at the same time.”
Both Mackie and Stan took out their phones and sent a message to Evans. Horowitz continued the interview while a stopwatch recorded how long it took Evans to respond.
After 1 minute and 37 seconds, Evans replied to Mackie.

“Ah ha, Evans hit me back,” said Mackie.
“I don’t,” said Stan with a laugh.
A few seconds later, Evans responded to Stan as well. When Horowitz asked what the two conversations were saying, Stan and Mackie revealed that they simply texted Evans saying they loved him.
“I texted him, ‘I love you,’ he replied, ‘I love you too, I miss you,'” said Mackie.
Stan laughed and shared, “I said, ‘I love you, I hope you are well.’ He said, ‘He beat you for a second.’ ”
The actors played more on ‘Stir Crazy’
At the end of the interview, Stan and Mackie played a game of Would You Rather? To begin with, Horowitz asked Stan if he would rather appear on the gossip Girl for the rest of your life or “never act again”.
“No man, I would be gossip Girl for the rest of my life, ”replied Stan.
Horowitz then asked Mackie if he would rather be the new Captain America or an NFL Hall of Fame. Mackie quickly chose the NFL Hall of Famer. As the game progressed, Horowitz’s questions to Mackie and Stan became more bizarre.
