Of course, he’s not the first film celebrity to hop into a Netflix series or television in recent years, so his casting isn’t a total surprise, but it is just one of the major changes Altered Carbon will undergo in Season 2.
Mackie will presumably portray Takeshi Kovacs alongside actors Will Yun Lee and Byron Mann, who both portrayed the character in flashbacks in Season 1.
Anthony Mackie’s involvement in Altered Carbon is interesting, as the actor has spent a fair deal of his career in film as opposed to television, with the Marvel movies exploding his career.
Past speculation has indicated Season 2’s storyline will likely take place on an entirely different planet, so we’re pumped to see where the narrative goes next.
