Anthony Mackie, the lead actor in "Captain America: Brave New World", took the stage at the Disney Content Showcase 2024, held at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Singapore on November 20.
During the event, Mackie shared behind-the-scenes anecdotes, revealing how he first learned about his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). “Marvel didn’t tell me directly,” he joked. “I was at Chris Evans’ house watching football when he asked if I’d read the script. I hadn’t, so he showed me the final two pages of the "Endgame" script in his basement. That’s how I found out!”
Mackie reflected on his decade-long journey in the MCU, describing Sam Wilson’s evolution into Captain America as a “unique experience.” He expressed excitement about transitioning back to film, commenting on the differences between TV and movie production: “TV is fast-paced and intense, while movies allow for a more relaxed process. I’m happy to return to a format where I can take my time.”
Talking about "Brave New World", Mackie described it as “incredibly fun,” emphasizing its grounded nature. He noted similarities to the original "Captain America" films, calling it a “spy-thriller with a realistic feel,” which he believes will captivate audiences. He teased an action-packed story, adding, “I take down a lot of enemies in this one. The suit has made me more agile, and my skills are upgraded!”
The Disney Content Showcase 2024 also highlighted Disney+ Korean originals such as Lighting Store (starring Ju Ji Hoon and Park Bo Young), Tree (Kim Hye Soo and Jung Sung Il), and Hyper Knife (Park Eun Bin and Sol Kyung Gu). A star-studded lineup of Korean actors, including Kim Soo Hyun, Cho Bo Ah, and Kim Da Mi, attended the fan event, celebrating upcoming projects.
Stay tuned for more updates on "Captain America: Brave New World", set to bring a thrilling mix of action, heart, and Marvel magic to theaters!
