Anthony Mackie Reveals the One Thing He Really Wants to See Happen in CAPTAIN AMERICA: NEW WORLD ORDER

Marvel actor Anthony Mackie is about to move from the role of Falcon to Captain America as he replaces his friend in the upcoming film, Captain America: New World Order. The actor has expressed that he is excited and nervous to fill the shoes left behind by Chris Evans, but he has one request in mind before making the film that is set to start shooting next year.

In a recent interview with E! News, Mackie explained:

"I want a fight scene that rivals Chris Evans' fight scene in the elevator [in 2014's Captain America: The Winter Solider], when he fought like 10 dudes in the elevator. That was a bad ass scene. The first time I saw that, I was like, ‘That's crazy.' So I just want a fight scene that rivals that."

Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson (formerly known as Falcon) was handed the Captain America shield by Steve Rogers (a.k.a the original Captain America) at the end of 2019's Avengers: Endgame. However, his character officially became Captain America in the season finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in 2021.

When asked if Mackie’s friend, Chris Evans, is truly departed from the MCU, he replied, "Chris is so far gone from Marvel. Like, Marvel is not even in his radius. He's so far gone. He's enjoying life. He's like an old retired dude."

That doesn't mean Chris is out of Anthony's life. In fact, he said that he, Chris, and Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, have developed a strong Marvel brotherhood over the years. 

"It's not often you come across people you work with who you sincerely miss and consider friends," Anthony said. "Fortunately, between the three of us, we're actually friends. We go to each other's houses and spend birthdays together."

Captain America: New World Order will hit theaters in 2024. Are you hoping to see Anthony Mackie get his fight scene comparable to Evans’ in the elevator? I know I am!
