Lela Loren in Altered Carbon

At this point in Anthony Mackie’s career, he’s best known for his role as Sam Wilson in the MCU. He first began his MCU career as a complementary piece to Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers, but he’s since stepped into his own as the new Captain America.

He headlined his first solo movie last year with Captain America: Brave New World, and he’s set to star in a vital role later this year in Avengers: Doomsday, the first Marvel tentpole event film since 2019. Even in the years since his MCU career began, though, Mackie has starred in plenty of other projects that have received their due, either in theaters or on streaming. Back in 2024, Mackie teamed up with a fellow MCU star, Morena Baccarin, for Elevation. The alien invasion sci-fi film is currently streaming on HBO Max in America. However, Elevation was far from the first sci-fi project Mackie starred in that wasn’t attached to the MCU. Back in 2020, Anthony Mackie took over the role that Joel Kinnaman originated in the second season of Altered Carbon, the hard sci-fi series set in a dystopian future where consciousness is digitized and stored. It follows a prisoner who wakes up in a new body and must solve a murder to win back his freedom. The show aired its first season starring Kinnaman in 2018, and it returned two years later with its sophomore outing starring Mackie, which was met with strong critical reception before being review-bombed by audiences. Still, despite all this mixed reception, Altered Carbon is still one of Netflix’s most popular watches, and the perfect weekend sci-fi binge for fans of great sci-fi TV shows.
