Anthony Mackie, who plays Captain America 4 in the film, talks about working with Harrison Ford.When Mackie had the chance to work with Harrison Ford, who is making his MCU debut as Thunderbolt Ross in Captain America: Brave New World, his excitement reached new heights. Mackie expressed his utmost appreciation for Ford and called the event “surreal.” In an interview, he stated that Harrison “was the f-ing guy, bro… I was really aback by how easygoing and enthusiastic he was to be a part of it. Some actors are accustomed to playing superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But as Mackie prepares to take the lead in Captain America: Brave New World, his adventure as the Falcon is taking a new turn. As Chris Evans’ replacement in the role, Anthony Mackie finds himself in a comfortable yet emotional setting as he shoots sequences in the same places he first began ten years prior.
It was a time of contemplation for Mackie as he realised how fortunate he is to be a part of the Marvel world, and seeing Ford, who has worked in the industry for decades and is still passionate about it at the age of 80, brought a whole new perspective. “For him to be in this profession for so many years and to see him at 80 excited to be a part of this universe was really dope,” the actor added. “It put things in perspective how lucky we are, how lucky I am to be a part of it and bring these characters to life.” Both Mackie and an extra became tongue-tied in Ford’s presence, suggesting that the camaraderie on set seemed to improve experience levels. I had this speech that I simply couldn’t perfect, Mackie recalls. “I’m talking to Harrison Ford,” I exclaim. This is absurd. The next day, we entered the boardroom and the extra had one line to say to Harrison. However, Harrison was like, “Give me the report,” and the extra was unable to speak the line. Harrison Ford is in it. It was quite bizarre. It made those situations lot simpler once we had our legs under us and realised that Harrison is just a great person.
Ford was first awe-inspiring, but after that, the cast realised that he was simply a “cool dude,” and the sequences went smoothly. These Marvel films have resembled summer camp in certain ways. When you get on set, you see folks you’ve worked with and gotten to know over the last 10, 12, and who have since had children, divorced, and purchased houses. So it’s like visiting old pals again. Therefore, it was quite simple, Mackie said.
