Anthony Mackie is ready for the world to see his version of the famed Marvel superhero Captain America on the big screen.
Mackie expressed his excitement for his character to get his moment in the spotlight, on the red carpet at TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles on Feb. 11, for the world premiere of Captain America: Brave New World.
“It’s absolutely amazing, I’ve worked a long time for this moment,” Mackie said. “I’m just excited that Sam Wilson gets his moment to shine.”
The plot follows Captain America, Sam Wilson, who finds himself in the middle of an international incident after meeting with the newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford). It’s up to Wilson to find out the reason behind this “nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red,” according to the official description.
