CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD Star Anthony Mackie Teases Harrison Ford's Surprising Role As General Ross

Captain America: Brave New World will put Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson front and centre as the MCU's new Star Spangled Avenger. Unlike his predecessor, Steve Rogers, Sam has no superpowers, and we saw how much John Walker struggled before taking the Super Soldier Serum.

With The Leader and the Serpent Society set to take aim at Cap, Sam could find himself in serious trouble, especially if the rumours about General (and soon-to-be-President) "Thunderbolt" Ross transforming into Red Hulk are correct.

During a recent interview with Inverse, Mackie talked about acting opposite Harrison Ford and revealed new details about Sam and the General's dynamic. 

"The first day was so intimidating," he recalls. "I was so f***ing nervous I couldn’t remember my lines. He’s Harrison f***ing Ford. There is this aura about him. But he dispels that really quickly because he’s such a cool guy. He’s everything a movie star should be. He would say, ‘Let’s shoot this piece of sh*t.’ And everybody was like, 'Yeah, let’s shoot this sh*t.'"

"We spent a good bit of time together. Ross and Cap have always had that relationship, where they were friends and they respected each other, but they always bumped heads," Mackie teased. "That’s their relationship in the storyline."

It's possible Ross and Wilson worked together when the latter was in the military, though we're a little surprised they're remotely friendly considering the fact The Falcon was among those who defied the Sokovia Accords by joining Steve's Secret Avengers. 

As for what role Captain America will play in the wider Multiverse Saga, all Mackie would say is, "I’m still trying to figure out the Marvel-verse, or whatever. I don’t know. I don’t even know what the multiverse is. Dude, I have no idea what it is. I’m still trying to figure that sh*t out."

Captain America: Brave New World will be released in theaters on July 26, 2024.

@ShimmyShimmyYA - Harrison genuinely and quite literally meant, "let's shoot this piece of shit".




And he said the same at the beginning of principal photography for indy 5.

Harrison Ford is that rare guy who doesn't give a shit about some of the goofy material or lore he gets put into, but as soon as the check clears, he gives you a damn performance. What a pro

This could be so great or so terrible.

Will we get the MCU that excelled all the way through Infinity War/Endgame, or will get we get more preachy angsty crap like the tedious Disney+ show.

Make the new Captain America shine, not Shinola.

Mackie can be such a great Cap if they only let him.

@ShellHead - Classic complaint by people who don't understand what an paradox is:
"I hate when they make Captain America political."

Ooh that'd be a cool bit of backstory if Sam actually served under Ross at some point in his military career prior to meeting Steve, and that they actually have a sense of respect towards each other despite being on opposite sides of numerous issues since the Sokovia Accords

...so we're just gonna ignore how disrespectful this is to the legacy of William hurt?

What? Just applying their own logic for not recasting tchalla.

Scared for this movie. Was soooo pumped for TFATWS show and then it ended up being such a disappointment and really not good at all. then they announced this movie with the same people from the show... then the leader, then the serpent society, then red hulk (possibly)... like, they are trying wayyyyy too hard with this movie and cramming too much into it. Go back and simplify shit, like with the BEST MCU movie, Cap TWS. I want this to be good but i just don't see it happening. Hope i'm wrong
