Among all the conclusions of phase 3 of Marvel with Avengers: Endgame, we find the end of the arc of Steve Rogers’ Captain America character. At the end of the first tape, chronologically speaking of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (UCM), the leader of the Avengers was frozen, unable to go to his appointment with Peggy Carter, many years later, by defeating Thanos and returning the gems , Steve takes advantage to stay with Peggy and give that long-awaited dance. A lifetime gives the captain’s shield to the character of Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie. But that symbol and position, it weighs too much. So much so that it is in the television series Falcon and the Winter Soldier , when that organic transition of the character should take place. But how long will Captain America be?
In an interview that Variety organized with the actor and the highest black general in the United States Air Force , they discussed the importance that heroic figures of color can play in film and in real life. Anthony Mackie gave importance to his role and symbolic figure but a lifetime is not seen playing the shield of America. “I definitely don’t want to be a 55-year-old Captain America,” Mackie said, adding “I have six to eight years to be.” But being the first black Captain America of the cinema is a pride for the actor, “to have family, friends who have served and returned, that is something that has always been important to me; show the soldiers a respectful human light ”.
For him, in turn, it is relevant to know that we should not deify the relevant figures for society either: “When I meet people like General Brown, I think this guy is not a human being, he is a rock star and you forget that they are human real and you put them in a light where they are not allowed to be … so it has always been important to me: to bring humanity to the aspect of being a soldier ”. A few weeks ago we learned that the actor was training to be in top shape to be the capi and his final planning coincided with the start of filming the sequel to Black Panther . Will the film of the hero of Wakanda be the premiere of Mackie as Captain America in cinema?
