Anthony Mackie gets along very well with his franchise colleagues Captain America. His chemistry with Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes) and Chris Evans (Steve Rogers) is beyond doubt, neither on screen nor in real life. Before learning that he was going to inherit the iconic Super Soldier costume in the future of the MCU, However, he was very worried!

At the time ofAvengers Endgameno one knew that Steve Rogers would bequeath his shield to his friend Sam Wilson. Having read the script before Anthony Mackie, Chris Evans knew what awaited them… But when he handed the script to the Falcon interpreter, the latter thought he was going to be killed on screen!
He asked me “have you read the new script?“, I replied “non“and he told me”you don’t know?“. And I said to myself “damn“… You know, being black, I said to myself “I’m going to fucking die!“.

In November 2023, the returns from the test projections of Captain America 4 suggested a real failure, a few months after the change of title of the film. Announcement in 2021 it was first titled New World Order with receiving a new title, Brave New World. A change made by Marvel Studios due to suspicion of anti-Semitism : The phrase “new world order” refers to various conspiracy theories, some of which are attributed to Jews. Between the rise of populism across the world and the Israeli-Palestinian conflictDisney preferred to avoid a bad spotlight and a controversy. The film’s title wasn’t the only thing changed over time, with its release date also moved from May 2024 to February 2025.
No, Sam Wilson is not dead, but his solo film has had many adventures!
