That\u2019s me saying it.<\/p>\n<p>Mackie has waited and waited, but now he\u2019s finally going to top line a movie, and a Marvel one at that. He\u2019ll play Captain America in \u201cCaptain America 4.\u201d He\u2019ll be the second Black super hero carrying a film, after Chadwick Boseman\u2019s Black Panther.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Evans was previously Captain America. He seemed to turn the role over to Mackie\u2019s Falcon at the end of \u201cAvengers: Endgame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then Mackie and Sebastian Stan went on to do the Disney Plus mini series \u201cFalcon and the Winter Soldier\u201d as Bucky Barnes (Stan) and Sam Wilson (Falcon). But who is Captain America? Evans handed the famed shield to Mackie in \u201cEndgame.\u201d Mackie became Captain America at the end of the series.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s taken a long time to get this far. Anthony Mackie isn\u2019t just an action hero. He should be our next Denzel Washington. He\u2019s that good. He was great on Broadway in \u201cBehanding in Spokane.\u201d He\u2019s shined in tons of movies including \u201cHalf Nelson\u201d and \u201cThe Hurt Locker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So many congrats to Anthony! And cheers to Deadline, which broke the news.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Home Movies Anthony Mackie, Finally, Gets to Play Captain America, the Second Marvel Black&#8230; &nbsp; &nbsp; If Anthony Mackie had been white, my friends, &#8230; <a title=\"Anthony Mackie, Finally, Gets to Play Captain America, the Second Marvel Black Super Hero\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/anthony-mackie-finally-gets-to-play-captain-america-the-second-marvel-black-super-hero\/\" aria-label=\"More on Anthony Mackie, Finally, Gets to Play Captain America, the Second Marvel Black Super Hero\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":32213,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32212"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
