'It Was Really Great and Really Emotional' — Anthony Mackie Remembers Chris Evans Showing Him the Avengers: Endgame Script Early to Reveal How He'd Become Captain America
Anthony Mackie said Chris Evans told him how he'd become Captain America by showing him the Avengers: Endgame script early.
Anthony Mackie recounted Chris Evans revealing to him how he'd become Captain America by sharing the Avengers: Endgame script early. The two actors discussed this private moment while working on the film. Mackie, the actor who played Sam Wilson, expressed his gratitude for the emotional conversation. Evans, who is deeply valued by Mackie, took the time to show him the script, which he found to be both great and emotional.
The end of Evans' tenure as Captain America marked a significant shift for the MCU, as the character became the most recognizable version of the hero. Mackie took over the role in the final moments of Avengers: Endgame, handing over Steve Rogers' iconic shield to an older Rogers. After Endgame, Mackie played the Sam Wilson version of Captain America in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and had his first standalone outing as the superhero in Captain America: Brave New World last year. He will return to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday, set for release on December 18, 2026.
