Captain America 4 Updates: Actor Anthony Mackie will star in the solo film of the new MCU’s ‘Cap’.
Few shields weigh as much like Captain America’s. Steve Rogers, who has sacrificed himself countless times on his behalf, and Chris Evans, who has carried him for a decade, knows this well . However, it weighs even more when the witness of such a legacy is taken up, as it is now Anthony Mackie’s turn.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier served to reconcile the same Wilson with what it means to be Captain America, a role that he ended up embracing in the final chapter of the Disney +series. With the end of the fiction came the announcement that Marvel was launching Captain America 4 with Malcolm Spellman, the screenwriter Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Although everything indicated that the film would pick up the story of Sam where he left it, it has not been until now that Anthony Mackie has officially signed to star in this production as the new ‘Capi’ of the MCU, as Deadline has announced.
At the moment, there are no more details about the project and it is not known who will be the director will lead it. Likewise, the presence of key characters in the series such as Bucky (Sebastian Stan), Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) or US Agent (Wyatt Russell) is also on the air, although Stan has celebrated in networks the confirmation of Mackie as the protagonist of Captain America 4.
Captain America 4: The new phase, new ‘Capi’
Falcon and the Winter Soldier said goodbye to Sam completing his transformation into the new Captain America. However, he is a different ‘Capi’ than Steve Rogers: he has not taken the serum of the super-soldier nor does he intend to do so, so his superpower will continue to consist of his combat skills and his gadgets.
In May, Malcolm Spellman spoke about this aspect of the character: “I think that is going to be his conflict going forward. It is appropriate. Within the action genre, what made The Crystal Jungle a classic was not who. beat Bruce Willis, but everything he had to go through to get it. He walked on the grass without shoes, you know what I’m saying. It’s something people can relate to. ‘This bastard is just like me and he takes on the bad guys.’ There is no better type of hero to empathize with. ”
While waiting to learn more about Captain America 4 (at the moment, it does not even have an approximate release date in the crowded MCU calendar), we can assume that Sam is going to change the rules of the game. Steve is irreplaceable, so we appreciate that this ‘Capi’ brings something new to ‘Phase 4’.
