And Mackie has featured in six MCU films since his debut in 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
But his one-episode appearance was not the end of it as Marvel Studios right after announced that Anthony Mackie will headline the fourth Captain America film of his own set in a later Phase within the MCU.
The first two entries in Marvel’s Disney+ slate, WandaVision and The Falcon And The Winter Soldier won big at this year’s MTV Awards, with Elizabeth Olsen winning Best Performance for playing Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Anthony Mackie winning Best Hero for becoming the new Captain America of the MCU.
The Falcon And The Winter Soldier found Anthony Mackie donning the new red, blue, and white wings, dropping his old suit and taking up the mantle of Captain America after Steve Rogers retired or went to the moon after Avengers: Endgame.
