Star Anthony Mackie is ready to make his mark as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s new Captain America in the next film Captain America: New World Order and he wants to win one of Cap’s best fights from Chris Evans.
Talking with E! News, Mackie explained that he has several ideas for his big-screen debut as the Star-Spangled Man. “I want a fight scene that rivals the Chris Evans fight scene in the elevator [in Captain America: The Winter Soldier]”, he said. “When he fought like 10 guys in the elevator. It was a badass scene. The first time I saw that, I thought, “This is crazy. So I just want a fight scene that rivals that.”
From Falcon to Captain America
The Winter Soldierthe second installment of Captain America saga, premiered in 2014 and is considered by many fans and critics to be one of the best entries in the franchise. The story sees Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Natasha Romanov (Scarlett Johansson) discover SHIELD’s infiltration by HYDRA and fight to prevent the authoritarian organization from achieving absolute power. It also serves as the MCU introduction for Mackie’s character, Sam Wilson.
Throughout much of the MCU, Sam operated under the superhero codename Falcon, but by the end of Endgame of Avenger, Steve passed the iconic shield on to Sam, signaling his retirement and the start of a new era. The Disney+ series Falcon and the Winter Soldier depicts Sam’s journey from resistance to acceptance in terms of his new role. The series also explores the complicated history of Captain America’s mantle.
