The 2011 movie that brought Anthony Mackie full circle: “Everything led me to this point”When Chris Evans bid farewell to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the torch, or shield, in this case, was passed to Anthony Mackie. Having previously played Sam ‘Falcon’ Wilson in the saga, Mackie was christened the new Captain America and even got his own movie, Brave New World, which all went so well that Marvel brought Evans back for Avengers: Doomsday. Prior to joining the MCU in 2014, Mackie was already making a name for himself, his movie debut coming with Eminem’s semi-autobiographical tale, 8 Mile, in which he played the primary antagonist. I didn’t even recognise it because the neighbourhood had changed so much. I was, like, ‘Wow, I’ve come full circle’.”
