Anthony Mackie Says CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Is 'So Far Past' AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

While explaining his numerical system for the hype surrounding the Captain America and Avengers sequels, Anthony Mackie says Marvel has yet to call him to take part in recent Age of Ultron reshoots.

"The way I look at it, Captain America [The Winter Soldier] was a spin-off of Avengers, but it was so much better than Avengers," said Anthony Mackie during an interview with Detroit's WXYZ news. "With the new Avengers [Age of Ultron] coming out, the trailer that came out, it's gonna be 10 times better than Avengers. So, [Captain America: Civil War] is gonna be so much better than Avengers 2. It can't be Avengers 2.5, it's like Avengers 3.8. It's so far past where Avengers is gonna be this summer. Just having read [Civil War script], and seen the specs of what they're gonna do, it's unlike anything you've ever seen." When asked about appearing in Age of Ultron, given rumors suggest The Falcon is joining the new roster, Mackie said he's yet to get the call. "I hope so, they're still shooting," he replied. "They're still adding pieces so I'm definitely waiting for the call, Marvel, to be added in any way, shape, or form that I can." What do you think?

Directed by Joe & Anthony Russo, Captain America: Civil War stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Chadwick Boseman, Frank Grillo, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie & Daniel Brühl, with appearances by Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, and Samuel L. Jackson expected. The film opens May 6, 2016  



Marvel Studios presents Avengers: Age of Ultron, the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure. Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision. Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” published in 1963. Get set for an action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Avengers: Age of Ultron May 1, 2015.

No people are going to love him. He showing that the solo movies aren't a slave to the Avengers. They can be as big and expansive as they want to be.

Of course The Winter Soldier was a better ""MOVIE"" than The Avengers but a lot of people (Fans in particular) still find the Avengers much more enjoyable for reasons that should be pretty obvious.. I can see some people in this thread are already getting it twisted Lololololz

And by the looks of things, Age Of Ultron may still somewhat give any future competitors a run for its money. Do not Doubt Lord Whedon Mr.Mackie, you haven't seen Age Of Ultron yet ;). But I'm sure Civil War will still be amazing no doubt in That

I actually really look forward to the end of Avengers 2. To see the direction of where they are going and "Who is left".

Gonna be good after that. I feel like the end of that movie will be the gateway to all these other characters to shine.

I don't think the Cap movie was all that much better than the Avengers, they're about the same, both excellent movies in slightly different ways.

Avengers= Lightning in a bottle lifetime event that can be viewed alone with family or even a group of 50.
Winter Soldier= Excellent movie that has every detail down that I'd rather watch alone.

Cap 2 is (in my opinion better than Avengers) but it doesn't have the magic that the Avengers has. The power to entertain everyone of all ages, gender or taste because it had something for everyone.
