Synopsis

You can of course expect action! But as per IMDb, the upcoming movie is about Sam Wilson– Anthony Mackie’s character – “ meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.”

Anthony Takes The Shield

The 45-year-old took on Chris’ role in the finale of Falcon and The Winter Soldier, “This is the moment where he becomes Captain America, so what’s his Captain America going to stand for?” Mackie explains. “Because he was a soldier, he was a caretaker of soldiers, a counselor, he’s not the guy who’s going to bust his way through problems…The humanitarian side of him was something that I feel is his superpower, his ability to have empathy and sympathy for those around him is your superpower,” Mackie continues. “So that monologue was about him showing that if one of us is mistreated, we’re all to blame. And that’s the overall theme of the the new Captain America, not that not Black Cap, or Cap for the people, he’s Captain America for all,” he told Variety.

 How Long Will He Be Captain America

Though it is not confirmed how many Captain America movies fans can await, Anthony shared to the outlet, “I definitely don’t want to be a 55 year old Captain America, so I’ve got a solid six to eight [years] in me.”
