Anthony Mackie, who is stepping into his new leading role in Captain America: Brave New World, recently sparked excitement around the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. During a red carpet interview for Brave New World, Mackie was asked if he had a message for Tom Holland. His response was playful, “Hey Tom, looking forward to seeing you when I get to London, baby. You’re beautiful.” This comment seemed to hint at Avengers: Doomsday, which is set to begin filming in London in March 2025, as reported by TheWrap.
Although specific details about the cast have yet to be fully revealed, Mackie’s words suggest he may be involved in the project alongside Holland. Other confirmed cast members include Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom, along with the new Fantastic Four cast: Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (The Human Torch), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (The Thing).
In Captain America: Brave New World, Mackie’s character, Sam Wilson, will fully embrace the mantle of Captain America, stepping into the shoes once worn by Steve Rogers. The film also marks the introduction of Harrison Ford to the MCU, who will play U.S. President Thaddeus Ross and Red Hulk.
The upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film is shaping up to be a major event in the MCU, and Mackie’s comment adds to the anticipation surrounding the project.
