Would that scare any normal person?
But does it faze Ramirez?

In fact, he feels pretty good about working with his hero.
Is There Pressure Working With His Hero, Anthony Mackie?
“I get to work alongside who I’m taking the mantle from.”
COLLIDER: It’s a pleasure to speak with you and congratulations on donning the mantle of The Falcon.
DANNY RAMIREZ: Thank you.
How does it feel to be a superhero?

And it was surreal putting on the suit for the first time.
RAMIREZ: It’s insane.
I think every time that I hear it, I’m like, “Wait, what?”
I saw it 12 days ago, and I was like, “Whoa, okay.”
It’s like we have something special.
So it feels insane.
There’s so much research.
I call it the research and development period.
So it was cool to see it adjust and shape up.
I’ve seen all the greaves and everything change and morph.
So, it felt really like we earned it.
Do you feel like there’s a legacy to live up to?
And I think specifically for me, I get to work alongside who I’m taking the mantle from.
If anyone’s going to course-correct me, it’s him.
But if he doesn’t, I feel pretty good about it.
I think there is a give-and-take on that.
I’m just excited that I get to work with my hero more than anything.
So the pressure itself is put on by myself.
I think Joaquin is really eager to prove himself, and that’s where that pressure really comes from.
And it’s crazy to see Anthony also going through that in real life.
So it was a really fun thing to throw down for.
Good, good, good.
RAMIREZ: I dont know, man.
I don’t know what’s next.
So my dreams and hopes are to continue being able to do it.
It’s a lot of fun.
It’s some of the best collections of creatives that exist.
And it’s almost everywhere I look.
Even the worst advice from some of these people is better than some people’s best advice.
Joaquin Torres gets some pretty significant upgrades since the last time we saw him.
So what’shismindset stepping into this new role, and how does he plan on making it his own?
I know what buttons to press with him.
I know what our day-to-day is like.
Ramirez will take on the mantle of Falcon.
Or a mix of both?
So his energy in the comics is youthful and cocky.
He is a little bit of a playboy in it.
It’s a really layered performance that comes through in the film really well.
RAMIREZ: Thank you, man.
Wait, did you see the whole thing?
Ramirez:Oh, I can’t wait.
How Does the MCU Compare to Danny Ramirez’s Experience With Projects Like ‘Top Gun’?
What’s your favorite part of filming?
I think the big difference withinTop GunandAssassination Nationreally is external stuff.
That’s my way into it.
At the very least, I need to justify the real existence of everything I do.
I’m like, “I can’t get to these things unless I fully justify that energy.”
Instead of just saying something loud, I need to rev the engine to get there.
Captain America: Brave New Worldsmashes into theaters on February 14.
