\"My big push with Marvel is hire the best person for the job, even if it means we're going to get the best two women, we're going to get the best two men ... fine,\" he stated, adding that by doing so, he'll help \"build a new generation of people who can put something on their resume to get them other jobs.\"

Mackie first joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2014, when he starred in \"Captain America: The Winter Soldier.\"

Marvel is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.
