The 82nd Golden Globes was nothing short of a star-studded extravaganza, which took place in Los Angeles on January 5. The recent award ceremony gave us some of the memorable moments of the celebrities right at the beginning of the new year. One of such highlights is Anthony Mackie, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s star known for his role as Sam Wilson aka Falcon, giving a shoutout to his co-star Sebastian Stan. The latter plays Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier in the Marvel films.
The moment occurred when Anthony went on the stage to present the award for Best Animated Motion Picture alongside his new co-star, Harrison Ford. While addressing the people in the room, the 46-year-old actor took a moment to acknowledge his longtime pal Sebastian, saying, “We’re still friends with Sebastian Stan, by the way,” while he searched for The Apprentice actor in the ballroom.
When Harrison interrupted, Anthony made a hand-heart gesture, expressing his affection for his The Falcon and the Winter Soldier co-star. The wholesome clip immediately caught the attention of Marvel fans, who loved Anthony and Sebastian’s camaraderie.
One user said, “Love that they are really close like that. This is wholesome.” Another wrote, “Anthony Mackie is so funny. Love that dude.” Meanwhile, someone else remarked, “Anthony Mackie seems like a cool guy to work with on set.”
Anthony also shared a wholesome moment with The Apprentice star after he won a Golden Globe. “We won, we won, we won,” said the Altered Carbon actor as he approached Sebastian and bounced around him with a victory dance.
These two special moments from the 2025 Golden Globes come just weeks before the release of Captain America: Brave New World. Directed by Julius Onah, the superhero film will be led by Anthony Mackie as Captain America with the iconic shield and his Falcon wings. It will also star Harrison Ford as Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross, aka Red Hulk. The upcoming film is the fourth instalment in the Captain American film series and 35th in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is scheduled to be released in theatres on February 14.
On the other hand, Sebastian Stan, who won a Golden Globe for his performance in A Different Man, is set to star in MCU’s Thunderbolts. Directed by Jake Schreier, the 36th film is the Marvel Universe and will feature an ensemble cast featuring Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko and Lewis Pullman, among others. The movie is scheduled to be released in May 2025.
