Anthony Mackie: Captain America role model again

Since the finale of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has a new Captain America. This was the first time Anthony Mackie was talking about his promotion.

It was already hinted at in the films, but now it is certain: instead of Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier in the comics, Sam Wilson Cap’s coat of arms will be worn in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While it is not yet entirely clear who will take to the skies in the Falcon Suit in the future, Anthony Mackie has become the new MCU hope almost overnight. A few weeks after the grand finale of ” The Falcon and the Winter Soldier “, Mackie spoke about his new role for the first time. The 42-year-old was particularly enthusiastic about his chance to change something.

“I definitely don’t want to be 55-year-old Captain America, so I still have a solid six to eight years ahead of me” Anthony Mackie started his conversation with Variety for fun. “But let’s be honest: This is the moment when he becomes Captain America – what does his Captain America stand for? […] The humanitarian side in him is something that I always refer to as his superpower, his ability to feel empathy and sympathy for everyone around him. […] That should also be the overall theme for the new Captain America, not just a black cap, but a Captain America for everyone. ”

Enthusiastic about the influence he alone has on the developments and the end of his own MCU series Anthony Mackie then told another anecdote that sums up the topic perfectly: “A friend of mine is a teacher in Florida, she works mostly with children with special needs. Recently she observed one of her students doing pull-ups on the monkey bars. She said, ‘What are you doing? You’re still hurting! ‘. And the kid just replied, ‘Well, Captain America looks like me now, so I have to train in case he needs my help. “

Goosebumps, is a hero for everyone.

It is still unclear when Anthony Mackie will also make his debut on the big screen as Captain America. At the earliest, the new cap could register in “ Spider-Man: No Way Home ” (December 2021), but more realistic would be “ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever“(July 2022). Whether he can dance his own solo in the cinema or lead the new Avengers?
