Anthony Mackie told Esquire magazine in a new cover that playing Captain America “is my Oscar because I have been neglected so many times in my career”. The actor says that there are less than four performances that deserved price appointments (“Brother to Brother”, “Half Nelson,” The Banker “and” The Hurt Locker “), and yet he was snubbed in each times. He therefore made “Captain America: Brave New World” his Oscar moment, because he finally directs a marvel trading after 11 years in the franchise.
“The expectations of what accompanies this role is something that no one is talking about,” Mackie told the magazine about to become Captain America. “No one really recognizes the mental game that takes place.

After all, “Brave New World” features Harrison Ford as an American president who turns into a volatile red hulk. Comparisons with Donald Trump were probably inevitable and have already become a regular thing online before the theatrical release of the film.
“I hope, as a country, we are tired of all political games,” said Mackie when asked if fans making inevitable comparisons between Red Hulk and Trump, especially now that the latter is back at the White House. “Let’s just go to the movies and relax. We could have made this ass fucked yellow and it would have been a problem. »»

According to Esquire: “Mackie recalls the interaction differently. He already had a bad week – someone had recently found his phone number. One hundred and twenty missed calls. Death threats AI. He stopped in the service station and this woman jumps out of the car and I just watched her and I said: “No”, “he recalls. In addition, he adds, another hole in history: what idiot smokes next to a gas pump?
