Anthony Mackie is finally getting his own movie with Captain America: Brave New World — and if there’s one person he wants to see it, it’s Tom Holland.
“I haven’t seen the Falcon movie… oh wait, there isn’t one!” Holland clapped back, sending the room into hysterical laughter. “Well played, sir,” Mackie laughed and shook his co-star’s hand.
That’s not all: in aninterviewwith Comic Book before No Way Home, Holland was asked if Mackie had “blown him up” after getting his own movie. “He hasn’t got his own movie yet. He got a TV show, but he didn’t get his own movie. Also it’s called The Falconandthe Winter Soldier, not just The Falcon,” he said.
More than five years later, he certainly hasn’t forgotten that moment — and the chickens are coming home to roost for Holland, as Mackie’s first solo MCU movie is less than a year away from its long-awaited release.
After a recent appearance at CinemaCon to talk upCaptain America 4, Mackie was asked if he’s felt the urge to gloat to Holland. “No. He did that on a very public stage, so I’m going to hold that till the premiere,” he said.
“I’m going to make sure that Marvel makes him come to the premiere, and then I’m going to sit him next to me, and I’m going to watch him watch the movie.”
