Captain America: Brave New World just became much more meaningful after Anthony Mackie’s recent reveal. The MCU actor will be making his official debut as Captain America this year after getting passed the shield in Avengers: Endgame. When Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers retired from the role in the 2019 film, he entrusted his shield to his good friend Sam Wilson. Since then, Sam has been preparing to fully step into his newfound role as Captain America as seen in The Falcon & The Winter Soldier.
Anthony Mackie's Comments About Reading The Avengers: Endgame Script Make Sam Wilson Becoming Captain America In The MCU Even More Special Close In a recent interview alongside Danny Ramirez and Brave New World director Julius Onah, Mackie revealed the story of how he found out about Sam’s MCU future. During shooting for Avengers: Endgame in Atlanta, the cast was gathered at Chris Evans’ house when Evans pulled Mackie aside.
"He gets the new script. He goes to like the last 10 pages, and he goes 'read it!' So me thinking they killed me off I get to the part and it's like, you know, I’m reading the scene between us, and it goes 'he hands him the shield.' I’m like, ‘so why did you give me the shield? He’s like, ‘because you’re f**king Captain America.' We hug, we jump up and down... It was hilarious.
Sam Wilson's Movie Debut As Captain America Is Even Better Knowing The Behind The Scenes Story Behind The Character Getting The Hero Mantle Steve passed his shield to Sam at the end of Avengers: Endgame, so it feels fitting that Evans was also the one to deliver the news to Mackie off-screen. Evans portrayed Steve Rogers for nearly a decade, cementing him as a Marvel legend.
