Marvel Studios has been a hub of creativity, with actors like Anthony Mackie, known for his role as Sam Wilson/Falcon. In a recent interview, Mackie discussed the difference between working on Marvel projects and his new series, “Twisted Metal.”
He highlighted the controlled nature of the Marvel universe, where creativity is constrained by the vast content created by Stan Lee. In contrast, “Twisted Metal” offered Mackie more storytelling freedom, allowing him to build the world around the characters.
The actor acknowledged the challenges of adhering to the established Marvel comic book canon, emphasizing the limitations on character development and storylines. This contrasted with the more fluid and spontaneous approach of working on “Twisted Metal.”
As fans eagerly await Mackie’s portrayal of Captain America in the upcoming film “Captain America: Brave New World,” he expressed his disappointment over “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” not getting a second season. The limited series paved the way for Sam Wilson’s transformation into Captain America.
Mackie cherished the camaraderie with his co-stars Sebastian Stan and Daniel Brühl in the series and expressed a desire for a second season. However, the transition back to the movies means leaving behind the close-knit bond forged during the series.
Directed by Julius Onah and with a stellar cast including Harrison Ford, Liv Tyler, and Tim Blake Nelson, “Captain America: Brave New World” promises to be a captivating addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Slated for release in 2025, the film is set to continue the legacy of the iconic superhero franchise.
