Ahead of the release of \'Captain America: Brave New World\', Anthony Mackie discusses his portrayal of the iconic hero and the values he represents.
We're just weeks away from the release of Captain America: Brave New World, and Marvel fans around the globe are eagerly anticipating Anthony Mackie's first full-fledged appearance as Captain America. This marks a significant moment after Mackie took on the mantle at the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, now ready to shine on the big screen.
Promotional efforts for the next MCU film are in full swing, and Mackie recently shared his thoughts on what playing Captain America means to him at an event recorded and shared on Instagram by redheddiaries. Mackie explained that, for him, Captain America represents more than just a country; he embodies a set of values like keeping one's word, honor, dignity, and integrity. He described Captain America as someone trustworthy and dependable. Mackie likened portraying the iconic hero to reliving a childlike dream, where imagination knows no bounds. He emphasized that as actors, their job is to recapture that sense of wonder and belief, to slay dragons and save princesses, much like children do in their innocent worldviews.There's been some online pushback regarding Mackie's comments, but if viewed with an open heart, his words perfectly encapsulate the essence of being Captain America. The mantle was initially bestowed upon Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) by Dr. Erskine (Stanley Tucci) in Captain America: The First Avenger, not because of his physical strength, but because he was fundamentally a good man. Having served as Captain America for an extended period and dedicating his life to standing up for the less fortunate, Steve chose Sam as his successor because he recognized those same noble qualities within him. Anthony Mackie deeply understands the responsibility of embodying the best aspects of the hero, transcending the mere symbolism of the country depicted on his shield.Joining Mackie in 'Captain America: Brave New World' are two major stars making their MCU debuts: Harrison Ford and Giancarlo Esposito. Ford takes on the role of Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross, previously portrayed by the late William Hurt, while Esposito steps into the role of the Marvel Comics villain Sidewinder. The film also welcomes back Liv Tyler and Tim Blake Nelson, reprising their roles from the 2008 'Incredible Hulk' movie. Danny Ramirez's Joaquin Torres is also set to inherit the Falcon mantle from Sam Wilson in the 2025 MCU film. 'Captain America: Brave New World' is scheduled to premiere in theaters on February 14, 2025. Stay tuned to Collider for updates on the MCU and find showtimes near you for 'Brave New World'.
