Anthony Mackie, who has become the new 'Captain America', shared the reaction of his predecessor, Chris Evans.
In a video interview for the film ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ (directed by Julius Onah, hereafter ‘Captain America 4’) held on the morning of the 5th, Anthony Mackie expressed, “I never expected to take on the role of ‘Captain America’, and it has been an amazing experience. 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 the project at such an important time, and I am just happy to be part of the path that the MCU is taking.” He introduced his character, saying, “The unique aspect of Sam Wilson's Captain America is that he hasn’t taken the serum, so he fights and grows by facing everything head-on. He is a reliable person, with a strong sense of justice and a character that embodies humanity and camaraderie.”
He expressed pride, saying, “I believe he embodies the most ideal message and vision of true ‘justice’ that the hero series aims to convey.”
He also shared Chris Evans' reaction as the previous generation's Captain America. Anthony Mackie said, “When I received the new script and realized I was the new Captain America, Chris Evans was right next to me. He hugged me tightly and said, ‘You will do just fine.’ It was a strong encouragement, and I am grateful for that.”
Additionally, he mentioned that there was no pressure since he is a character of the next generation with a completely different color, having inherited the shield.
‘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, uncovering the hidden existence and reasons behind a sinister plot to take over the world.
It will be released on the 12th.
