“But once I landed and got off the plane, it just felt like it was game time.
“First, I thought I did feel pressure, getting the jitters,” he admits, careful not to rattle the House of Mouse publicist lurking on the call, camera-off, ready to leap on any spoilers. But did newcomer Ramirez feel the pressure of MCU fan expectation?
It’s a promising role, with plenty of trademark Marvel Cinematic Universe humour shining through. In the first episode, we see Torres go undercover, encountering an individual who may happen to be the group’s leader. Ramirez stars as Joaquin Torres, a young lieutenant who attempts to uncover the mysteries of the Flag Smashers: an emergent extremist group driven by conspiracy theory-charged beliefs. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier takes place six months after Avengers: Endgame and continues the story of Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) following the aftermath of Steve Rodgers forgoing his role as Captain America. Which is all fascinating enough until you learn that this is just the quiet before the storm.Įnding last year with a coveted spot on The Hollywood Reporter ’s Next Gen Talent list, Ramirez is, in 2021, starring in two of his most prominent roles to date with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, followed by Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited sequel to Tom Cruise’s ’80s mega-smash, Top Gun, out this summer. The spring sun is peeking gently through the window, and he reveals that he’s been passing his obligatory quarantine by (wait for it): learning the keyboard, taking photos on a medium format camera, practicing French through Duolingo, reading books on acting, completing a script, playing soccer, and becoming closer to himself through meditation. The 28-year-old is in great spirits, dressed in a clean black T‑shirt and a New York Yankees baseball cap gloved over a luscious head of hair.

The current star of current Disney+ ratings smash, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, is talking to us live from New Zealand, where he’s shooting a secret movie, full of secret information that needs to remain secret longer than the hour we spend together over Zoom. “I ask every athlete that ended up doing something else if they remember the moment they knew they had to find another dream,’ Ramirez states matter-of-factly. That’s when the injuries started to pile up. Then, realising that he was neither big enough or fast enough for the role, he began playing soccer. His goal was to be a slot receiver in the NFL. “I couldn’t see myself interact with the world any other way.” “It was all I saw myself as,” the Chicago-born, Miami-raised actor says today. And we can't think of anyone better to don those robo-wings than Ramirez.As a kid, Danny Ramirez wanted to play sports for a living. He'll probably just borrow the Falcon machinery he clearly already knows his way around.Īs for the MCU going forward, it's good to see that-whatever happens to Sam Wilson, and whether or not he takes up the shield by the show's end-the Falcon mantle likely won't fall by the wayside. As for Falcon and the Winter Soldier, we will likely not see Torres turn into a vampire and/or sprout wings from his back. Captain America eventually saves Torres, but not before he turns into a literal falcon/vampire hybrid that makes him able to fly and heal quickly. He was captured by an evil group hellbent on experimenting on people trying to cross the border.

The series depicts a powerful immigrant story, with Torres coming to the United States from Mexico with his mother and grandmother at six years old. Ramirez seems to be playing Joaquín Torres from Marvel's comic books-specifically in 2015's Captain America: Sam Wilson.
