Anthony Mackie Explains Why Sam Wilson Was the Right Choice for Captain America: ‘Not Having the Serum Makes Him…’

In simpler terms, according to Anthony Mackie, Chris Evans’ character, Steve Rogers, chose wisely by handing over his Captain America shield to Sam Wilson, who took up the mantle as the new Captain America.

In the movie Avengers: Endgame from 2019, Chris Evans’ character Steve Rogers passed on his vibranium shield to Sam Wilson, marking a fresh chapter for the esteemed Marvel superhero. This paves the way for Anthony Mackie’s debut as the main character in Captain America: A New World Order.

In an interview with Hollywood Outbreak, the actor from 8 Mile explained that when Rogers chose Wilson to take over his role, there were specific reasons for this decision. He stated that Rogers recognized a unique quality in Wilson, but also noticed a strong resemblance between himself and Wilson, which was mutual.

He went on to say, “Since Sam doesn’t have the serum, he is more like a typical human – a kind-hearted superhero – as opposed to when we initially met him, who was a counselor.

Mackie highly praised Sam, a war veteran and former counselor, for his ability to set aside his own issues and concentrate on assisting others. Mackie described him as a ‘nurturer’ and a person with a strong sense of altruism.

In a statement, the actor from Brother to Brother noted that Sam stands out distinctly from Steve due to his unique human traits. He explained, “Unlike Steve, Sam doesn’t rely on brute force to tackle problems. Instead, he listens, cares, and responds thoughtfully to the individuals he encounters, rather than bulldozing through them.

In the finale of Endgame, it was Chris Evans’ elderly Captain America who chose his reliable ally, either Sam or the Falcon, to continue his legacy and duties. The role of Captain America, initially portrayed by Mackie, was first presented in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021), with Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, another Oscar-nominated actor.

In a nutshell, “Captain America: Brave New World,” directed by Julius Onah, chronicles the adventures of Sam Wilson as he grapples with his new responsibilities and confronts a global predicament. Featuring Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Harrison Ford, and other talented actors, this action-packed film is currently playing in cinemas across the globe.
