Anthony Mackie says Harrison Ford went all in on his Marvel stunts
Anthony Mackie reveals how Harrison Ford refused stunt doubles and went all in for “Captain America: Brave New World.”
The wait is (soon to be) over. “Captain America: Brave New World,” will be dropping on Disney+ later this month.
The Marvel superhero adventure, starring actors Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford, follows Sam Wilson (Mackie) as he takes up the Captain America shield in the wake of a global conspiracy that “puts him on a collision course with the fearsome Red Hulk,” according to Disney.
USA TODAY’s Brian Truitt gave the film ★★½ out of four, writing that director Julius Onah’s geopolitically tinged “Brave New World” “is an unruly narrative that starts as a paranoia thriller (a la ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’) and devolves into a campy ‘Hulk smash!’ fest.”
However, Truitt praised Mackie, a 10-year veteran of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying he “faithfully has taken the Captain America mantle from Chris Evans and given Cap new swagger and vulnerability.”
