Antonio Macchie had quite a journey as Sam Wilson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that journey led to him taking on the role of Captain America in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Now it’s spinning Captain America: Brave New World.
Well, it turns out Mackie originally wanted T’Challa/Black Panther in the MCU. During a recent interview with Inverse Interview, Mackie said that when he was growing up, he “loved Black Panther.” He went on to say that he approached Marvel about the role:
“I had been reaching out to Marvel a lot about Black Panther. I had written them letters. I was trying to find a way for him to make Black Panther. And I wanted to be Black Panther because growing up I loved Black Panther.
As you know, things turned out very differently, and late Chadwick Boseman got the role of Black Panther. But I think Mackie works great for the role of Sam Wilson, and it will be interesting to see how his arc continues to play out.
We don’t really know what New World Order’s story entails, but we do Harrison FordThaddeus Ross will be the president of the United States. Mackie has also previously discussed the role of Captain America and how his character is different from Steve Rogers and the rest of the superheroes in the MCU. He explained:
“Sam is the only character without superpowers. He’s just a regular guy who hangs out with a bunch of weirdos. Being from New Orleans, I’ve gotten into a few fights. And heart and charisma have never helped me in a fight. Usually it just made me beat up, so that could cause problems when you go to fight someone like Thanos.
“So, I think with him, he has to go on stage with a very different understanding of what it means to be a good guy or be a bad guy and what decisions make you walk that line the way you do. So, I just see that like a more humane Cap than a judge’s distinctive Cap… [a] Judgment cap, where this is right and this is wrong. There are decisions that make you choose right or wrong.”
Julius Ona (The Cloverfield Paradox) will direct the film from a script written by Dalan Musson AND Malcolm Spellmanfor which they both wrote The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Spellman will produce with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.
New world will be released in theaters on May 3, 2024. 024.
