Movie «Captain America: Brave New World» will debut in Ukrainian cinemas on February 12th — this time with Anthony Mackie in the title role, who «inherited the» shield from Steve Rogers (Chris Evans).
Despite the fact that the tape had some production problems and, according to rumors, failed at all three test readingsThe actor believes that his new role is a chance to win a major movie award.
«I had at least four performances that could have been nominated — if not for a Golden Globe, then for an Oscar or Emmy. “Captain America” — is my Oscar, because I was not noticed many times in my career», — the actor said in an interview with the publication Esquire.
Well, what can I say? I think the best comment on this came from Jordan Rumi of of the World of Reel website:
«Let’s play a fun game. Here Maki’s filmography. Try to figure out which four speeches he is talking about. I can’t find any».
At other points in the interview, Mackey mentioned his fear of working alongside Harrison Ford, who plays in the movie «Captain America: Brave New World» Thaddeus Ross / Red Hulk:
«It was the first fucking scene we filmed together. So I was nervous and I couldn’t remember my line,» says Maki, recalling how he just made some sounds instead of words. «I was just like, fuck, I’m playing Harrison Ford».
At the same time, Maki criticized the comparison between the Red Hulk and the new US president (we remind you that after the attempted assassination of Trump, Marvel even had to change the trailer).
«I hope that we as a country are tired of all the political competitions. Let’s just go to the movies and relax. We could make it yellow and that would be a problem».
Anthony also touched on the rumors about the reshoots, actually confirming them:
«Every movie that Marvel has made, every movie that DC has made — has been remade. But this [the Captain America movie] is literally the best movie there is. It stays in the style of Captain America, it’s fun and it’s big».
It is worth noting that the other day, the media circulated articles saying that Anthony is «one of the rudest actors in Hollywood», citing the story of a fan who rudely refused to talk to him while he was smoking a cigar at a gas station.
«Maki has a different recollection of this interaction. He had a bad week — someone recently found his phone number. One hundred and twenty missed calls. Death threats. He pulled into a gas station, and this woman jumped out of the car», — Esquire writes. «Anthony recalls: “I just looked at her and said, ‘No, no, no.’ Plus, he added, there’s a hole in the story: what kind of idiot smokes at a gas station?».
In a previous interview, Maki mentioned how he was filming «Avengers: Endgame» thought his character was going to die because «hadn’t finished reading»’s script.
