Anthony Mackie Avengers: Doomsday Paul Bettany, Digi Mart USA News: Anthony Mackie may have revealed more than intended about the upcoming ensemble film Avengers: Doomsday. In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, the Marvel actor discussed reprising his role as Sam Wilson, the current Captain America, in the film.
The movie will bring together superheroes from three distinct universes to face Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. Beyond the trailers released so far, little has been officially disclosed about the plot.
Mackie described the production as being like summer camp, where “everybody comes together.” He said, “How have you been? Oh, you have a kid now.
Oh wow, you’re married now.” He added, “It’s one of those things where you just catch up with everybody. I got to hang out with Paul Bettany, who I love.”
Bettany’s involvement in Avengers: Doomsday has not been officially confirmed, making Mackie’s comment notable. Stars from the new Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts*, and the original X-Men franchise are confirmed to be part of the film, and Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova is reportedly playing a major role.
Other established Marvel actors confirmed or expected to appear include Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, and Simu Liu. Brie Larson, Elizabeth Olsen, and Bettany remain among the major stars whose involvement has not been announced.
Mackie told Entertainment Tonight, “It was a wonderful time. I always pick up an enemy.” The VisionQuest finale debuts tonight and may provide clarity on the future of Bettany’s synthezoid character, Vision, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
