Captain America: Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford, two icons in the acting world, come together in a new Marvel installment. Mackie, taking over the role of Captain America after Chris Evans, and Ford, inheriting the role of Thaddeus Ross from William Hurt, will be bringing new energy to their respective characters. In a recent interview with Esquire, Mackie shared the story of their first scene together, where he froze and forgot his lines due to nerves. Ford, to Mackie’s surprise, instead of being annoyed, calmed him down, saying “Relax, kid. It’s not that big of a deal.”
Mackie has praised Ford’s kind and generous approach to acting, saying that Ford is one of the coolest people he’s met in the industry. The story highlights the warm and cooperative set of Captain America: Brave New World, boding well for the film’s eventual quality.
Mackie expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming film, calling it “literally the best movie it can be” and stating that it stays true to the Marvel spirit and Captain America’s character while also being fun and big. With Ford’s guidance and the positive set dynamics, it’s clear that the actors had a great time making the film. The experience they shared behind the scenes will hopefully translate to an excellent experience for audiences when Captain America: Brave New World releases in cinemas soon.
