However, it should be noted that the industry has been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning that many intended theatrical releases have been delegated to streaming services.
Meanwhile, Mackie achieved success on TV shows including Twisted metal and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which further explored Wilson’s journey to becoming Captain America. While Elevation it hit Captain America: Brave New World As Anthony Mackie’s first film in theaters in five years, its compelling story of survival and determination proves that Mackie is more than ready to star in his first solo MCU film.
