Anthony Mackie Must Eat Worms or Tell Us About the Captain America Sequels
Were not really sure if our July/August cover guy is bluffing, fronting, or stalling for time. He speaks confidently for a man only halfway through a culinary challenge. And on a spectrum from Ginkgo nuts to worms, frog legs feels very palatable. This Avenger has no idea what hes in for.
The mighty hero and-spoiler!- successor to Captain America recently sat down for Disgustingly Healthy, our very own culinary/quiz challenge featuring six healthy, potentially gag-inducing food and six simple, potentially embarrassing questions.
So either Mackie munches on these frog legs, or he has to answer a question about his coworkers legs-the other heroes of of earth and elsewhere. Mackie goes for the frogs.
Hes already chewed on antioxidant-rich Ginkgo nuts and spit out some balls of chicken gizzard. Thats bird stomach. I love chicken gizzard, said Mackie, before the Falcom popped the other bird into his mouth. But then Mackie changed his mind. These are still frozen. Who cooked these?
Mackies question in place of the gizzards: Which Avenger does he wish Thanos would have killed off for good?
My answer is gonna be controversial and I think its gonna have a lot of hits on the internet. Mackie paused-in that head-tilting, shoulder-shrugging, time-killing way only a hero without an answer could enact. Spider-Man. Everyone else would survive Thanos but you, homie. Harsh. (We sense a very wholesome friendship between Mackie and Spider-Man actor Tom Holland).
Next up was webbed octopus. Then beef intestines.
Mackie passed on the octopus, giving us his best impression of Christopher Walken doing Tupac. He then passed on the intestines. Cmon, Falcon.
But now its time for the frog legs and Mackie is going ham. Itll be the last solid food Mackie eats.
Corn silk tea is next. It smells like feet.
And then from silk tea, Mackie faces the silk worm. Its in a can, he says horrified.
But the question he must answer if he doesnt eat: Are you getting your own Captain America movie?
F-, Mackie laughs, mulling over Marvel spoilers in his head. He stairs at the worms. And stairs. There better be like 1,000 grams of protein in here, he says. He opens it. F- those are actually worms, dude. He covers it with his napkin. If Im gonna eat worms, they better not come out of a can. Thats a double negative. Thats offensive.
Time to answer the question, Mackie
