The highly debated Captain America film from Marvel Studios featured Anthony Mackie as the cherished superhero character. This fourth installment of the Marvel Comics superhero movie franchise, which also served as a follow-up to the television miniseries, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” on Disney+, hit screens on Valentine’s Day 2025. Chris Evans, who portrayed Captain America (Steve Rogers) in the initial three films, passed his shield – symbolizing the mantle of responsibility – to Mackie’s Sam Wilson in Avengers: Endgame, marking a new era. Lately, Mackie shared insights into the praise he received from his fellow Marvel co-star regarding his portrayal.
As reported by ScreenRant, during an interview with E! News, Mackie shared that Chris Evans had sent him a congratulatory text about the film. However, due to their hectic schedules, they haven’t had a chance to catch up in person yet. Mackie explained, “I haven’t spoken with him directly. I just received a message from him saying ‘well done’ and that he enjoyed the movie. We’ve both been quite busy, with him working in some part of Middle Europe.
Evans’ response underscores the enduring connection he shares with Mackie, similar to the strong friendship between Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson in Marvel films. It’s uncommon for actors who have previously played iconic roles to show support for their successors, making this gesture all the more noteworthy. This act of camaraderie is also exciting news for Marvel fans, particularly those who often compare the portrayals of these characters. Despite Steve Rogers’ legendary tenure as Captain America concluding, it doesn’t diminish Sam Wilson’s portrayal in any way.
The film “Captain America: Brave New World” sparked a wide range of opinions. Some devoted Marvel fans and cinema-goers initially gave Anthony the chance to impress as Captain America before expressing their views. Conversely, others swiftly expressed disapproval with the casting choice and purchased tickets merely to demonstrate their loyalty towards the comics they cherished deeply. Despite the buzz on social media and mixed reactions, the movie grossed over $400 million at the box office. Besides Mackie, the cast featured Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres/ Falcon, Shira Haas as Ruth Bat-Seraph, Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, Xosha Roquemore as Leila Taylor, Harrison Ford as Thaddeus Ross/ Red Hulk, and others.
Anthony Mackie Hopes for an X-Men Team-Up In ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
In a conversation with ScreenRant, Mackie discussed which superhero he’s looking forward to working on during the filming of Avengers: Doomsday, and he shared his preferred X-Men characters as well.
As a long-standing Cyclops enthusiast, I’ve been eagerly awaiting his appearance in the upcoming X-Men project. Since my high school days, I’ve had a Cyclops action figure dangling from my keys – a relic from the golden age of the X-Men cartoon, which predates the movies we know today. Over the years, my admiration for Cyclops has only grown stronger, and I can hardly contain my excitement about potentially seeing him join the team. Here’s to hoping for the best, fingers crossed – I can’t wait to reunite with Xavier, Beast, and the rest of the gang!
