This means that Mackie’s solo debut film costs $40 million more than Chris Evans’ debut in the MCU withCaptain America: The First Avenger.It’s important to keep in mind though that the two films are more than a decade apart. However, it could be possible that Mackie might not be alone throughout the entire film.
Sebastian Stan might be joining Anthony Mackie in the MCU flick
A rumor arose that Sebastian Stan’sWinter Soldier might be joining Captain America in the upcoming flick. Although the rumor was dismissed byThe Apprenticestar, Stan could be an expert in lying to the media.
The actor did admit begrudgingly that he does miss his MCU best friend Anthony Mackie since he was working alone on the sets ofThunderbolts*.However, that could be just another well-placed lie.
[Filming] Thunderbolts*, let me tell you, it was a much quieter year for me because I didn’t see Anthony Mackie. So, I’ll say that. Although I miss Anthony Mackie like daily, and it’s something I don’t like to admit.
Fans are still not convinced that a movie without Sebastian Stan is possible for Anthony Mackie. There could be a couple of scenes where they have to part ways or maybe the Red Hulk could get too overpowering.
