In Captain America : Brave New WorldAnthony Mackie will take on the superhero costume for the first time on the big screen.

There are advantages to embodying Captain America, leader of the Avengers with exemplary morality. Sometimes improbable advantages, as revealed by Anthony Mackie, a great fishing enthusiast. In Brave New Worldthe fourth part of the franchise dedicated to the Super Soldier, and also the first without Chris Evans, it is to him that will officially return the shield and duties of this iconic superhero. Facing the Red Hulk, played by Harrison Ford (following the death of William Hurt in 2022), he will have his work cut out for him to defend his compatriots. Anthony Mackie, who does not hide his pride at having become Captain Americarecently spoke at the Disney APAC Content Showcase in Singapore about how he learned of this good news.
The two actors watched a football game together at Chris Evans' housewhen the latter shared with Anthony Mackie the last pages of the script forAvengers Endgame. This is where the interpreter of Sam Wilson understood Marvel Studios' plan concerning his character, to his great joy! “When I read it, we hugged and jumped in circles“he declared. Don't expect his version of the superhero to be the same, though, since both protagonists have neither the same experience nor the same character :
Sam's evolution is simple. He is still an advisor. He is still serving the soldiers, but at the same time, he has become a leader of his community in the country. […] With the serum, it's very different: you can fight against anyone. When you don't have the serum, you have to be smart and find other ways to defeat [vos ennemis]. Sam, as a counselor, uses his brain more than his brawn. He uses his mind more than his fist. He prefers to maintain good relationships.
