Captain America star Anthony Mackie acknowledges the massive challenge that lies in outdoing Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame in Phase 6. Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame are record-breaking MCU movies that wrapped up the Infinity Saga with a bang, gathering all major characters introduced across the MCU’s first three phases and providing some of them with an appropriate farewell. Now, Marvel Studios’ upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars aim to achieve a similar feat at the end of the Multiverse Saga, this time with the threat of Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom looming over the multiverse.
In an interview with Esquire, Captain America: Brave New World’s Anthony Mackie addresses the inherent difficulty of following up on Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame’s groundbreaking success with the even more ambitious Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Mackie praises the directors behind all four of these movies, Joe and Anthony Russo, and indicates he trusts their talent. Read Anthony Mackie’s full comments below:
“What you don’t want is Infinity War and Endgame 2.0. The Russos, they’re so smart, and they have such a hold on this universe and the history and the comic books that I know they have an idea. I mean, they better have an idea. I don’t know how you put all those people onscreen together and make it work.”
