Captain America: New World Order star Anthony Mackie is no stranger to internet backlash, particularly as he's the first Black actor to play Captain America on screen. Unfortunately, just like Mackie has been targeted by racist fans, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has come under fire from sexist ones (that's not to say everyone who dislikes the series is sexist, of course).
During a recent interview with IMDb, Mackie was asked about developing Sam Wilson ahead of the next Captain America movie and praised the latest MCU TV series on Disney+.
"I'm excited, She-Hulk was great! The last series to come out on Disney+," he says. "It's just different than their norm. You could see Marvel giving writers the opportunity to spread their wings and look at the Marvel Universe in a different way. So, Malcolm Spellman and I have been going back and forth. It's really unique to see how the character and the universe is evolving."
Spellman, who served as Head Writer on The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, is writing Captain America: New World Order with Dalan Musson, but Mackie has clearly been playing a pivotal role in where this hero's story goes next.
Elsewhere in the interview, Mackie also recalled his funniest memory from the set of an MCU project. "I would say the one that cracks me up the most would probably be [when] we were doing the car chase up on the bridge and [Sebastian Stan] sticks his hand through the glass and rips the steering wheel off. If you freeze frame it, the face I made was so ridiculous."
"It was so ridiculous. It was so unassumingly childish. Like the excitement on my face," he continues. "That was probably the one that cracks me up the most."
