Actor Anthony Mackie expressed his feelings about becoming the new Captain America.
In a video interview held on the morning of the 5th for the movie ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ (directed by Julius Onah, hereafter ‘Captain America 4’), when asked, “What do you think about this work being a very important point for the future of the MCU? How do you feel about becoming the new lead?” he replied, “I never expected to take on ‘Captain America,’ and I am very excited and honored.”
He stated, “As a young actor, I feel a sense of responsibility and gratitude for reaching such a high position. It is an honor to lead a project at such an important time, and I am just happy to be part of the path the MCU is taking.” He introduced his character, saying, “The unique aspect of Sam Wilson’s Captain America is that he fights and grows by facing everything physically because he hasn’t received the serum. He is a reliable person, a character with a righteous steel mentality, united by humanity and camaraderie.”
He expressed pride, saying, “I believe he embodies the most ideal message and ideal of true ‘righteousness’ that the hero series speaks of and aims for.”
Director Julius Onah added, “The most important point of the new Captain America is the process of overcoming difficult journeys with strong humanity, not superhuman strength,” emphasizing, “I wanted to highlight the theme that ‘everyone has a good power.’”
‘Captain America 4’ is an action blockbuster where Sam, after reuniting with Thaddeus Ross, who has become president, finds himself at the center of an international incident and uncovers the hidden existence and reasons behind a wicked plot to take over the world.
Set to be released on the 12th.
