Captain America’s Anthony Mackie Teases Big MCU Changes in Avengers: Doomsday

Captain America star Anthony Mackie has shared some new insights about Avengers: Doomsday.

Mackie plays Sam Wilson/Captain America in the MCU, with the character’s last outing being in 2025’s Captain America: Brave New World. He will soon be seen in Avengers: Doomsday, which is currently in production and has a December 2026 release date.

What did Anthony Mackie say about Avengers: Doomsday?

Speaking with Extra, Mackie said of Avengers: Doomsday, “When you look at the Marvel characters in the universe that we’ve created, there’s an idealistic nature of the type of story you want and the type of you want coming from those films. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, that last moment in Endgame was probably one of the most poignantly realistic moments in film history. That was a true Marvel moment. I don’t think any other studio, any other directors, any other group of actors could have contextually put that moment together and made it that real.

“That being said, I think this is a lot of carrying over, feel, and depth of that moment coming into the new universe. From my movie, we went out building on top of that to this just being a chaotic destruction of the world.”

Plot details for Avengers: Doomsday — along with the 2027 sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars — remain heavily under wraps at this time.

The cast of the movie also includes Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright as Black Panther, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent, Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Kelsey Grammar as Beast, Lewis Pullman as Sentry, Danny Ramirez as Falcon, Joseph Quinn as Human Torch, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Winston Duke as M’Baku, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, James Marsden as Cyclops, Channing Tatum as Gambit, Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, and Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.

Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday arrives on December 18, 2026.
