Just Want To Point Out For One Petty Second That Anthony Mackie Does Not Need The MCU

Just want to point out for one petty second that Anthony Mackie does not need the MCU

Unlike most of the cast the dude was already super accomplished, doing amazing work before hand. The MCU was never the “pinnacle or big time” of Mackie’s career. This is true for basically every black character in the MCU.

RDJ was also accomplished, but he did need the MCU because no one in Hollywood was giving him a chance post-rehab.

Chris Evans (who I love more than air don’t fight me) was also doing steady work, but Hollywood basically treated him like a dumb underwear model with great abs until captain america. They panned both fantastic fours he was in and Evans had no interest in being a comic book movie again until mcu begged. Anyway now thanks to captain america and Chris’ great acting he can do whatever he wants.

Mackie’s career was not made or resurrected by the MCU. Mackie was in two best picture Oscar films two years in a row. He graduated from Juilliard and then never took a break!!! Without the MCU, Anthony is in smash hits and/or critically acclaimed movies EVERY YEAR. (I would make the list but I don’t want this to be research paper. Just go to imdb lol.)

And when he’s not in the best films he’s on stage killing the game.

And for those who think he’s closed minded, please remember he’s played a gay man, on stage and in cinema. That may not seem revolutionary to most but unless you’re woefully ignorant about black culture, you should know most straight black men would not dare play a gay character in fear of having their masculinity questioned. Mackie couldn’t care less about that.

Mackie plays the falcon because he was a superhero fanboy growing up and he loved the idea of playing a superhero. Not to mention being the falcon would give him the opportunity to hang with his some of his best friends he’s already worked with, ie. Chris Evans.

So if you bump into Anthony Mackie in real life, don’t say something rude or stupid to him as if he would be starving or nowhere without the MCU. Educate yourself lol.

I’m an artist. Artists don’t need permission to work. Regardless of whether I’m acting or not, I write. I write when I’m tired in fact, because I believe your most pure thoughts surface.

its my god given bisexual right to be dramatic

I still get that thrill; I guess it’s like escapism at its finest. On the acting side, my favourite thing is when I truly lose myself in a scene, when I forget that I’m on a set. It’s only truly happened a few times in my whole career, where I’ve genuinely forgotten I was on a set, forgotten that I’m not that character, forgot that it wasn’t that time, or that place. That’s the best feeling in the world. Better than skydiving; it’s like the most exhilarating thing to experience. Happy 28th birthday, Margot Robbie! (July 2, 1990)
