Anthony Mackie had long been in the entertainment industry before debuting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and his position as the new Captain America further cemented his position as one of the most talented actors in Hollywood. Soon, his solo movie as the respective character, Captain America 4, will be hitting the screens, only to elevate his stardom even more.

But while he holds many commendable acting credits to his name, Mackie has also gotten entangled with some controversial works. Like the racist drama The Banker, which saw him lead. But as good as the movie was, it got itself under the wrong limelight after getting bogged down by the wildest s-xual abuse scandal by none other than the film’s protagonist’s very own daughter.

The Boys is basically the MCU’s wild alter ego, with Homelander’s over-the-top brutality being the exact opposite of Captain America’s wholesome patriotism. The crazy antics in The Boys are so far out that even the most creative MCU fan couldn’t dream them up.

Joss Whedon's large-scale action picture "Avengers: Age of Ultron" was released in theaters in the spring of 2015, and it featured a gaggle of Marvel superheroes teaming up to fight the eponymous evil super-robot. Ultron (voiced by James Spader) was an artificial intelligence accidentally created by Iron Man while he was constructing a global, spacebound security system intended to make superhero-ing easier. Upon achieving consciousness, Ultron spends about two minutes on the internet and instantly decided that humanity needed to be wiped out, shunting its own consciousness into a series of robot bodies and going about its wicked business. The Avengers, naturally, smash up all the Ultron bots.
Ultron is destroyed at the end of that film and has only shown up in additional Marvel Cinematic Universe entries in smaller roles since then, including the animated TV show "What If...?" However, Spader will reportedly reprise Ultron for the upcoming "WandaVision...

The teaser trailer for Captain America: Brave New World has finally landed, and it’s packed with thrilling reveals. Fans have been eagerly waiting for this sequel ever since the finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and the trailer certainly doesn’t disappoint.
Captain America: Brave New World | Marvel Studios
The teaser hints at fixing a three-year-old plot hole and reintroduces Tiamut, the Earth-born Celestial from Eternals. This is the first time Eternals is directly referenced outside its own film. Looks like fans are finally going to get some answers!
Captain America: Brave New World Finally Fixes the Eternals Plot Hole After 3 Years!
One of the most intriguing plot points left hanging after the 2021 MCU film Eternals was the fate of Tiamut, the Celestial turned to stone by Sersi. While the massive, marbleized body now occupies a significant portion of the Indian Ocean, it’s been surprisingly absent from subsequent MCU narratives.

Marvel Studios has a lot of intriguing titles on the horizon, which could very well help it set up the next generation of heroes (and villains) at the forefront of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Captain America: Brave New World will see Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson lead the charge as the next Star-Spangled Man With A Plan, while The Fantastic Four: First Steps will officially introduce Marvel's First Family into the MCU.
Perhaps the most intriguing of the upcoming titles, however, is Thunderbolts*. Essentially described as Marvel's answer to the Suicide Squad, the titular team will feature a number of beloved MCU characters such as Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, and Red Guardian as they form an unlikely team to stop a threat they can't fight alone.
However, it turns out that another major MCU character might be in it after all. And given the title of the movie, that's not really that surprising.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Anthony Mackie’s Falcon first met in Captain America: Civil War in 2016. During the film’s press tours, Mackie frequently teased Holland, jokingly calling him a diva and making light of his need for frequent breaks and supervision on set. This playful teasing continued in later interviews. Holland recalls a moment when he used one of Mackie’s catchphrases on set, unintentionally stealing Mackie’s spotlight and possibly kicking off their friendly rivalry.
Their playful banter has persisted over the years. For instance, during a 2018 Comic-Con interview, Mackie joked that he hadn’t seen Holland’s film Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Fans are surely missing Chris Evans in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the legacy must continue with Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson as the new Captain America. Of course, someone has to take his place as Falcon and that job will be assumed by Danny Ramirez’s Joaquín Torres, whom fans have already met in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

It’s already a known fact that Wilson will replace Steve Rogers in the MCU sooner or later, but there were still doubts about Mackie’s performance and ability to live up to the expectation. He has a big shoe to fill in, and we’ll only see how well he fares once the movie comes out.

Even though Deadpool & Wolverine reignited the love that fans had for superheroes, there is no denying that there has been an evident shift in the way Hollywood views the genre. Some of the most respected figures in the industry have been critical of the films that Marvel and DC release, and the points that they raise are not without reason.
Many have started to agree with Martin Scorsese’s famous words, believing that the films have started to feel more like theme-park rides made for the spectacle than something stemming from passion and expression. Recently, Michael Keaton revealed his thoughts on the canceled Batgirl film, and his comments did not help this statement.

The Russo brothers’ hugely expensive sci-fi adventure The Electric State is reportedly due to stream on Netflix in March 2025.
Joe and Anthony Russo have been lured back into the Marvel machine with the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, but the filmmaking brothers are still finishing work on their sci-fi adventure The Electric State for Netflix.
Buried in a tangentially related story over at Deadline is the news that The Electric State is scheduled for release on Netflix in March 2025 – which sounds about right, given that initial filming on the movie reportedly wrapped in February 2023.
Production on the movie, adapted from the 2018 illustrated novel of the same name, is said to have been somewhat troubled, however. Per World Of Reel, the shoot had to be paused in October 2022 when a crewmember died in an accident unrelated to the production itself; there was also a round of reshoots which reportedly took place in the...

The Mandalorian star Giancarlo Esposito was added to the cast of Captain America: Brave New World during reshoots. Following speculation that he'd been cast as G.W. Bridge, the actor was finally confirmed as Seth Voelker/Sidewinder at last month's San Diego Comic-Con.
The character is best known for leading the Serpent Society, a group of technologically and genetically enhanced villains who may or may not have been cut from The Falcon and The Winter Soldier follow-up.
In the trailer for Captain America: Brave New World, Sidewinder looks more like a paid assassin or mercenary than anything else; however, Esposito shared some intriguing new details while appearing at Fan Expo Chicago this weekend.
He described Sidewinder as "a scientist [and] a great mind," teasing, "You will see me do things that you've never seen me do before."

Although Anthony Mackie has started to spend his time saving the world from villains with his red, white, and blue shield, in the early years of his career, he starred in many iconic films that shaped him into the iconic star that he is today.

The next addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Brave New World, is set to reach theatres on February 14, 2025 – and this Captain America adventure, which sees Anthony Mackie’s character Sam Wilson, formerly known as Falcon, carrying the shield now that his pal Steve Rogers is retired, has some strong connections to the 2008 film The Incredible Hulk. Not only does it feature the Incredible Hulk character Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross (with Harrison Ford taking over for the late William Hurt), but Liv Tyler is reprising the role of Ross’s daughter Betty and Tim Blake Nelson is back as Samuel Sterns, also known as The Leader. During a chat with Variety, Nelson confirmed that he was pleased to have the opportunity to play Sterns again, and said that, despite talk of superhero fatigue and some of last year’s entries having disappointing box office returns, you should never “count Marvel out.

Tim Blake Nelson first played The Leader in 2008's The Incredible Hulk, the second MCU movie after Iron Man was released earlier that same year.
Samuel Sterns' story ended with a hint that he was about to become The Leader but, over a decade and a half later, we still don't know what became of him. However, thanks to Captain America: Brave New World, all that changes next year.
"I deeply, deeply grieved over the prospect of not being able to come back into the MCU," Nelson told Variety of his absence in a recent interview. "All I wanted to do, as an actor, was to figure out what happens to this guy. 18 years later I got to do it and I wasn’t disappointed."
"It was a great challenge and I was guided beautifully by Julius Onah, who’s an indie director," he said of the next Captain America movie.
Samuel Sterns' story ended with a hint that he was about to become The Leader but, over a decade and a half later, we still don't know what became of him. However, thanks to Captain America: Brave New World, all that changes next year.

Captain America: Brave New World has quickly gone from being a movie we seemingly heard only negative things about to one of 2025's most highly anticipated releases.
The first teaser trailer promised a Captain America: The Winter Soldier-inspired espionage adventure with a (Red) Hulk thrown into the mix for good measure. This movie will be what establishes Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson as the new Captain America and, as an added bonus, the legendary Harrison Ford is playing President Ross/Red Hulk.
While the action-packed D23 trailer hasn't been officially released, we've gone through every frame of footage to bring you a breakdown of the biggest moments, reveals, and possible plot spoilers.

Like most Marvel fans, Anthony Mackie is thrilled about Robert Downey Jr. returning to the franchise, this time as Dr. Doom. What Mackie is decidedly not thrilled about was when and where the announcement of the news was made.
For those who missed it, that bit of news came during Marvel’s massive Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con at the end of July. Of course, that same presentation began with new footage from “Captain America: Brave New World,” in which Mackie stars.
The footage also revealed the first official look at Harrison Ford as Red Hulk. So, in a recent interview at the D23 Expo with Entertainment Tonight, Mackie admitted he was feeling pretty good about things at Sdcc — until the Downey news hit.
“You know what makes me mad? When you think you doin’ something, that’s when somebody show you that you ain’t doin’ nothing,...

In the vast landscape of the entertainment world, superhero movies are known to generate billions of dollars worldwide with their captivating fictional world full of unimaginable possibilities. Kevin Feige’s Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), in particular, seems to have been singlehandedly generating billions of bucks across the world, with fans and critics hailing the superhero world as the ‘savior of cinema’.
Reshoots are common in the MCU [The Avengers | Marvel Studios]Yet, even the MCU is not immune to costly mistakes and often dishes out millions on reshoots and post-shoot processes. Given the recent almost month-long re-shoots of Captain America: Brave New World, Feige, and the MCU could have saved millions had they taken James Gunn’s six-step rule of filming.

Marvel Studios chose to only officially release a new trailer for Agatha All Along during this weekend's D23 event and, as you might expect, that's led to a lot of footage being leaked on social media.
We thought the days of convention-exclusive sneak peeks were behind us for this very reason, but there's bound to be a method to this apparent madness. Regardless, we now have a second clip from Captain America: Brave New World which puts the spotlight on Harrison Ford's President "Thunderbolt" Ross.
In the footage, he holds court at a Celestial Summit which sees him reveal that the world's powers quickly scrambled to acquire resources from Tiamut's remains in the Indian Ocean.
However, thanks to the new Captain America, Sam Wilson, it now appears to be in the hands of the U.S. Oh, and the previous metal's name? Adamantium, the indestructible material which, in the comic books,...
