Anthony Mackie says he wants another solo movie for Sam Wilson’s Captain America.
Out with Jamie Dornan promoting the new “12 12 12” heist thriller on Netflix, Mackie was asked by Happy Sad Confused if he had hopes for Marvel wanted to do with the character next. he says:
“I think every character deserves a second film… I think with with Cap… well we it’s been proven every character deserves three films, right? 17 Spider-Mans, all of them had three movies. That’s about 51… it’s a lot of f—- Spider-Man, right?… I would enjoy partaking in the idea of two more films, just to see that character complete his arc.”
Whether Mackie might get his wish is another story. Last year’s first Mackie Cap-led film “Captain America: Brave New World” was famously plagued by production issues which saw extensive reshoots.
Critics panned the film (42/100 on Metacritic), while it still holds the lowest grade for an MCU film to date with audiences.
The film ultimately grossed approximately $415 million worldwide against its $180 million budget, one of the lowest-grossing films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but not an outright money loser like “The Marvels”.
Mackie reprises the role for the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” opening in cinemas in December.
