Anthony Mackie on Avengers Films and Captain America Longevity

Captain America: Brave New World star Anthony Mackie on what the next Avengers films should avoid and how long he's sticking around.

As expected, Marvel fans are counting the days until the next chapter of the Avengers films, even if there's plenty of content to enjoy until then. And now, the actor who has finally stepped into the role of Captain America is addressing the mounting pressure for the next Avengers films to live up to their record-breaking predecessors—as well as how long we can expect him to stay attached to the role and the MCU.

While speaking to Esquire about whether it's possible to outdo the previous Avengers films, star Anthony Mackie tells the outlet, "What you don't want is [Avengers: Infinity War] and [Avengers: 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." When addressing his expected timeline with the MCU, he adds, "I give [myself] a solid ten years. You have the two Avengers movies, you have hopefully another Captain America, and then random plug-and-plays: Oh, Spider-Man! Oh, Fantastic Four! What are you doing here? But you never know. I mean, I don't want to be a sixty-year-old Captain America."
