As a lifelong Marvel fan with memories of comic book afternoons stretching back to my youth, I can confidently say that the upcoming collaboration between Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford in “Captain America: Brave New World” has me beyond excited. The camaraderie and mutual respect these two seasoned veterans have for each other, as evidenced by Ford’s humble words of support, is a testament to their professionalism and the enduring spirit of teamwork within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
2025 will mark Marvel’s initial cinematic release featuring Anthony Mackie, a seasoned MCU actor, joining forces with Hollywood titan Harrison Ford in an exciting collaboration. Mackie will spearhead his inaugural “Captain America” film since inheriting the star-spangled suit from Chris Evans. In a recent podcast conversation about both “Captain America: Brave New World” and his upcoming project “Elevation”, Mackie shared insights into his time working alongside the iconic Ford, including an intriguing speech Ford delivered on their first day together on set.
For some, it was surprising that Ford joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe given his extensive history with hit movie series, yet his entry as Thaddeus Ross in “Captain America: Brave New World,” replacing the late William Hurt, initially appeared to be a role not fitting for Ford’s esteemed career. However, Ford has consistently refuted such views and his on-set behavior during filming of “Captain America: Brave New World” underscores this endearing modesty and selflessness. In an interview with The Playlist, Mackie shared his initial encounter with Ford before shooting started.
Mackie further stated that Ford lived up to his own statements by giving him top priority throughout the entire production process, showing respect that one would expect from a number-one client. For an actor who has been at the pinnacle of fame for the past four decades, with iconic roles in two of the most impactful series ever made, Ford deserves VIP treatment without question. However, his commitment to others’ success serves as an inspiring model for both fans and fellow celebrities alike. You can read Mackie’s entire statement here:
It was truly captivating, demonstrating the genuine and appealing character of Harrison Ford – upon arriving on set, he took me aside and said affectionately, “Hey kid,” (even though I was 46 years old). He continued, “Hey kid, this is your movie. I’m here to support you. And I’m here to make sure, after this film is released, everyone recognizes your name.
Many individuals in the same league or caliber as him wouldn’t act that way. Similarly, numerous people operating at his professional level wouldn’t behave like that.
Right from the start, Harrison Ford treated me exceptionally well, making me feel like the most important person on the set. He gave me free rein and was always there by my side every day. His actions spoke volumes about the respect he holds for others. Despite being a renowned figure, he didn’t demand special treatment, but instead, clearly demonstrated that I was top priority. This attitude trickled down to everyone else on set, and I can only express gratitude and admiration towards him for his professionalism and leadership.
What Can We Expect From Captain America: Brave New World?
In the upcoming movie titled “Captain America: Brave New World,” slated for release on Valentine’s Day, 2025, there’s a lot to anticipate beyond Chris Evans’ surprising double role as both the President of the United States and the fan-loved Red Hulk. Anthony Mackie and Chris Evans are joined by Danny Ramirez, who will be reprising his character Joaquin Torres and taking over Mackie’s previous role as the Falcon. It’s expected that he’ll continue to show up in future Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. Giancarlo Esposito and Tim Blake Nelson make up the rest of the cast, with the latter portraying the film’s villain, Samuel Sterns aka The Leader.
The storyline for “Captain America: Brave New World” is still uncertain, but recent trailers reveal a confrontation involving Tiamut, the Celestial, which has been a mystery in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the end of “The Eternals” in 2021. Additionally, there might be friction between Sam Wilson’s character (played by Anthony Mackie) and Thaddeus Ross (portrayed by Harrison Ford) over the role of the newly appointed Captain America. Although fans are curious about how these elements will connect in the film, “Captain America: Brave New World” is just a few months away from its release, so answers should be forthcoming soon.
