Anthony Mackie is all set to headline the upcoming MCU film Captain America: Brave New World. Taking over the reins as the titular character from Chris Evans, Mackie’s Sam Wilson is now the new Captain America and has to safeguard the nation from a new villain.
Mackie made his debut in the MCU as Falcon, and the upcoming film is his first solo movie. This year’s Comic-Con saw the actor respond to a comment by his Captain America: Civil War co-star Tom Holland, who said that Falcon did not have a solo film yet. While Mackie may be headlining the new film, fans pointed out how Falcon still does not have a solo film.
Anthony Mackie Responds To Tom Holland’s Six-Year-Old Insult
Anthony Mackie made his debut in the MCU in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and went on to become Steve Rogers’ trusted second-in-command across multiple films. As the Falcon, a.k.a Sam Wilson, Mackie joined Team Cap during Civil War and stuck to them in the war at Wakanda. He was also given the shield after the events of Endgame.
Despite being in the MCU much before Tom Holland, the latter received a solo film Spider-Man: Homecoming way before Mackie got his own. Holland even addressed this in a friendly insult towards his co-star in a 2018 interview at ACE Comic-Con. However, Mackie seems to have finally got a rebuttal.
With the actor headlining the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World, Anthony Mackie finally got to have his solo film. The actor also responded to Holland’s six-year-old insult on stage at this year’s Comic-Con and said (via IGN),
He said I didn’t have a movie. I said, ‘Well, you’re not 5’11”’. I got a movie, you’re not gonna be 5’11” though! Yes, Tom Holland, f*ck you!
The actor also mentioned that he would be sitting next to Holland at the premiere to make sure he sees the film.
Did Tom Holland Win The Feud Against Anthony Mackie Despite His Rebuttal?
In 2018’s ACE Comic-Con, Tom Holland and Anthony Mackie bantered in a panel discussion with Kevin Smith, with Mackie mentioning that he had not watched Spider-Man: Homecoming. Holland responded to the insult saying that he had not watched the Falcon film as well as there were none.
While Mackie got to have his own solo film now with Captain America: Brave New World and give a retort to Holland, fans still believe that the Spider-Man star’s insult stands as Falcon still does not have a solo film.
Mackie, he said there’s no Falcon Movie, and there still isn’t
