Captain America: Brave New World<\/a> star Anthony Mackie shares Chris Evans\u2019 heartwarming reaction to the Marvel movie. While promoting his new film Sneaks, Mackie discussed his MCU role and was asked if he had an opportunity to catch up with Evans following the release of Brave New World. Though Mackie and Evans haven\u2019t caught up in person to talk about the movie due to their busy schedules, Mackie noted that his former co-star texted him some words of support after seeing Brave New World. Unsurprisingly, Evans was a fan of both the film and Mackie\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just got a text saying \u2018good job,\u2019 and that he loved the movie,\u201d Mackie told E! News<\/a>. \u201cI haven\u2019t talked to him since we\u2019ve both been running around. He\u2019s in, like, middle of Europe somewhere working.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Mackie portrayed Sam Wilson throughout Marvel\u2019s Infinity Saga and headlined the TV series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Captain America: Brave New World marked the first time he headlined a feature film as the titular superhero. As Sam follows Steve Rogers\u2019 footsteps, Brave New World sees the character settle into a leadership role. Sam will be spearheading the new Avengers team at the forefront of Doomsday and Secret Wars. Mackie is confirmed to reprise the character in both films<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though Brave New World was billed as an exciting and integral chapter of Marvel\u2019s ongoing Multiverse Saga, the film did not really resonate with general audiences. Debuting to a mixed critical reception, Brave New World wasn\u2019t much of a draw at the box office. It ended its theatrical run as one of the lowest-grossing MCU films<\/a>, totalling just $414.7 million worldwide. It took A Minecraft Movie only two weeks to pass Brave New World as 2025\u2019s highest-grossing title domestically<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Evans\u2019 brief review of Brave New World shouldn\u2019t come as a shock. He has a long history with Mackie, developing a bond while making multiple Captain America and Avengers movies together. He was always going to have words of encouragement for his friend. But judging by the overall reception to Brave New World, it wouldn\u2019t be a stretch to say some viewers wouldn\u2019t necessarily agree with Evans\u2019 assessment of the film itself. However, most people probably see eye to eye with him on one aspect. Mackie\u2019s performance was cited as a highlight, as the actor came into his own as Captain America, demonstrating why he\u2019s the best person to carry the shield.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be interesting to see if Marvel decides to move forward with a Captain America 5 at some point after Secret Wars. Mackie intends to stay in the role for the foreseeable future, but the lukewarm response to Brave New World could influence the studio\u2019s plans down the line. Hopefully, Mackie continues to deliver strong performances as the character in the next two Avengers movies, which ideally will spark interest in seeing future adventures featuring Cap. In the meantime, Mackie could be having a reunion with Evans on Doomsday. Though Evans isn\u2019t officially confirmed for the cast, reports have indicated he\u2019s in line to play a part<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Captain America: Brave New World star Anthony Mackie shares Chris Evans\u2019 heartwarming reaction to the Marvel movie.
