M'Cormack's casting was never announced. I pay very close attention to this stuff, and I think my edit history proves that. His role is too small and insignificant (barely a grade above an extra) to warrant getting a press release, nor is the actor a well-known enough name that his casting would generate buzz for the movie. He isn't credited as Machete (or in any way that references his weapon), nor have the Russo brothers or anyone else involved in The Winter Soldier's production ever commented on the machete-wielding pirate being a reference to this particular character. Fans just assumed this character with a machete must be Machete despite nothing else supporting that claim.

Machete does not appear in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. There's just a character with a machete. I hope that makes sense.

Please, if you have a problem with one of my edits, don't be afraid to come to me about it. Or bring it to the article's talk page. We can work these things out without getting the mods involved in every little dispute. They're too busy for that.
