As Mackie explained in an interview with Screen Rant, Leo's fighting style in Outside the Wire was specifically designed to show that while his personality might be surprisingly human, his body still works like a machine.
"A big thing for me was just the robotic and mechanic nature of being a cyborg, but also emotionally keeping him available and open," the actor said when describing the concept. "[Director Mikael Håfström] and I talked about the idea of this guy coming across as a human — looking like a human — but when he fights, he's a cyborg that reacts and creates a reaction to the person he's fighting. He learns from the person that he's fighting so he can attack their style."
Mackie took this as something of a personal challenge, especially since he got to actually do a bunch of his fighting in Outside the Wire – unlike in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where he's worked side-by-side with stuntman Aaron Tony, who has taken care of Falcon's more physically demanding tricks. Now out on his own, the actor put in plenty of hours to make Leo's robotic combat moves as great as possible.
"This was my first time in almost ten years working without [Tony], so I took a lot of the training and lessons that I do with him," Mackie said. "I would walk around Budapest every night and study my jiu-jitsu poses. If you saw a weird Black dude smoking a cigar, doing jiu-jitsu in the streets of Budapest, that was me."
As anyone who has seen Outside the Wire can tell, this novel approach worked extremely well, and Mackie's hand-to-hand moves are more than enough to convince you that Leo is an android super-soldier.
Outside the Wire is now on Netflix.
