The two have co-starred in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

During his acceptance speech, he said, "Our ignorance and discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now. We have to normalize it and continue to expose ourselves to it, and our children, encourage acceptance. One way we can do that is by continuing to champion stories that are inclusive."

"It’s a team effort," Stan said with a smile. "Captain America and the Winter Soldier. We’re coming back! … I do have to thank Anthony [Mackie] because, actually, back in the day when we were starting these press tours, they said, 'This kid can’t talk, can’t smile, can’t say anything. We gotta put him with Anthony to get some life in him.' "

He then told Mackie, "Maybe I learned from you. You have to keep smiling."
