Anthony Mackie Breaks Down His Career, from 'Avengers: Endgame' to '8 Mile' | Vanity Fair
Kind of interesting how he said that as a parent, he’s always looking for that approval of his kid(s) and wants his kids to be proud of him, when as a kid, all you’re trying to do is make your parents proud of you. Funny how it’s the same for both parents and kids
Too true
I think it's a generation thing. My father wouldn't give two fucks if i disapprove of what he does.
Linus D N I second this
@@linusdn2777 I agree with this. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that these days it's becoming more and more common to really do the things you want rather than follow social norms. In this case, the choice to not have kids. It used to be expected (and still very much is to a degree) but a lot of people now are having kids because they really want to and not because they have to.
When you really care about your kids, you also respect their thoughts and feelings and want them to be proud of you/ love you rather than how it was in the past where parents provided basic/ physical needs and the kids basically just need to be grateful for that. Like, "I'm the parent so I'm always right" sort of mentality and you'd never talk to your parents about how your feel. These days a lot of parents want their kids to be open and honest and parents will still have the last say but be more open to trying to understand. Obviously not all parents but a lot of them (also very location specific and I'm talking about western parenting).
That's how it should be. That's not how it always is.
I can safely say Anthony Mackie CRUSHES at being Anthony Mackie. Love him so much.
He seems like such a good dude who's probably a blast to hang out with.
I need a comedy movie with this guy leading.
Alibey Bal “the night before” movie check it out

As an African American and Marine veteran, Captain America The Winter Soldier is my FAVORITE MCU film. Thank you for entertaining us all with your amazing performances.
Why are black Americans called "African American" in every instance, whereas an Irish American may be called "Irish American" in very specific contexts? Shouldn't Black Americans just be called Americans?
Sal3600 no ones cares mate
Sal3600 no one cares mate
@@Sal3600 Sadly, Americans are very, very tribal. As much as we would like to be one group we are always divided by our clans. Our government puts out a census to keep us that way and there are small towns with thirty christian churches along the same block. And yes, to the outsider it seems redundant and archaic to continue to separate ourselves by hyphens, but our history is littered with subjugation, degradation, genocide and the lack of equal protection under law. So as much as it would be cool to have just one American group, our government won't allow it unless it further's its goals and our people won't let go of a hate-filled past and teach the children to move forward. I know it sounds cynical, but it's real. That's the best answer I can give you.
@@Sal3600 it's not just America that do this tho..and maybe because blacks wasn't looked at as "Americans" for so long and the name African American just stuck and it's only used to be specific tho like in general an American is who ever is a legal resident of America
He’s an underrated actor, I’m looking forward to seeing him as Cap for a bit. His character needs more exposure.
Yeah, def.
Oh how you were so wrong he gave the shield up on ep 1 lmao

If will smith ever needed a younger man to play him in a movie .You got Anthony Mackie. His laughter is so similar
Gemini man used billions of dollars in cgi technology instead.
He is only 10 years younger lol and Will Smith can act this man cannot act in any way shape or form.
@@chilliinsanity6898 huh?
Chilli Insanity but you’re here watching the video stfu
Will smith looks yougner than he is, and Mackie is only 10 years younger, so it isn't really that pertinent, better find a guy who has the same energy than Will smith but is 30 years younger.
In his roles, Mackie combines a certain intensity with the right amount of humor. He's come a looong way.
Software Agents TV I never saw it that way until this. You couldn't be more right.
Lol which is why he was perfect for altered carbon
This guy wants to be an Avenger? His real name is Clarence!
Flesh Weasel oh!!!!!!
Clarence parents have a real good marriage
Clarence went to a private school
He don't wanna battle, he's shook!
Cause there ain't no such thing as halfway crooks.
@@tainozoku AS HALF WAY CROOKS!
Everyone on the internet: „bUcKy sHoUld haVe gOtTeN tHe shIELd“
Mackie: *„If my son says its cool, its cool!“*
I've seen people on both sides. I'm a huge bucky fan, but I definitely don't think he should get the shield. They didn't do enough with his character to justify it.
everyone sounds like a lot of people
Falcon became Captain America in the comics so that's how it should be.
Gamer Ghost Bucky also became Cap in other comics, don’t forget that. Whatever, I‘m not one of these people, I just want to see whats happening.
Bworms1980 that’s right. His history as a cold blooded Assasin who even killed JFK (I dunno if that is canon or only in the comics) is a big problem.
"My son said it was cool, so it's cool."
Nope, not crying at all 😭😭
Funny how Kathryn Bigelow cast Mackie and Jeremy Renner in 'The Hurt Locker' cause they were unknowns and does not exude starpower.
Mackie, Renner as well as Evangeline Lily went on to become Avengers.
They didn't exude starpower at the time. Obviously they wouldn't have got cast in The Hurt Locker after being Avengers.
Add Chris Pratt to the list of stars Bigelow worked with before their MCU debut
@@kneelbeforezak Chris Pratt got to kill Osama bin Laden, what a great honor in a movie.
@@kneelbeforezak Not just MCU stars she got to work with Keanu before he was Neo or John Wick.
Yes, they probably share an agent and welcome to Hollywood nepotism (broad definition) in a nutshell.
Wait Mackie saying that he realized he only calls Samuel L Jackson Samuel L Jackson made me realize I only call Samuel L Jackson Samuel L Jackson 🤯
Yeah 🤔 why do we do that? Lol
I propose a new name: Jackie Sam
I think it has to do with the middle initial and marketing. For example, we call Michael B. Jordan, Michael B. Jordan
@@wDoucheCanoe At the "Michael B. Jordan" case, the middle initial is necessary, because there is a dude with a similar name who is orders of magnitude more known.
How much Jackson could Samuel L Jackson if Samuel L could Samuel L Jackson?
Your son was right Mackie : It's cool
Can't wait to see him as Captain America. He was my first choice since the beginning to take the shield after Chris Evans (sorry Bucky). Now he'll finally have his chance to shine in the MCU.
Facts
Heresy. He isn’t even a super soldier. He’s just a regular dude that can use a badass jump pack.
@@thefeleapz4144
Captain America isn't supposed to be about being a super soldier. Its supposed to be about being all the things America is supposed to be about.
Just like Iron Man isnt just about a suit. But the brilliant and complicated man that Tony is.
@@DreadPages Or like the doctor erskine would say : being "a good man".
That's the major point about Captain America
It should have been Bucky. He got it first in the comics
"On your left"... is how I'll always hear Anthony's voice in my head.
"And Halle Berry...*sighs*" relatable af!! 😂😂😂
His story of bonding with his son over being Captain America is the cutest thing ever. Hahahahaha
Why’d they skip Million Dollar Baby, The Adjustment Bureau, Pain & Gain and The Hate U Give... those were all solid performances
That's what I said!
Half Nelson too.
Adjustment Bureau made me a Mackie fan
@@chrisstanwood246 he was amazing in half Nelson! It was a small part that could have been a total cliche. But the writing and performance gave the character such dimension
@@krystal3721 yes!!!! He was awesome in adjustment bureau! Such an underrated performance!
I was hoping he would talk about black mirror “...... Just kiss me man “
Eustace Bagge he didn’t talk about that role in this ?
Eustace Bagge My husband and I quote this to each other all the time and it’s actually pretty funny because I was just thinking about it an hour ago. I’m glad we’re not the only ones LOL!
Lmao that episode was so fckn weird but also really good
You weren't down with watching cpt ameria and black manta making out?!?
Black Mirror is a show on the tele not in the theater that's why it wasn't discussed in this video.
He speaks so eloquently and he’s so stunning and just everything about him is extremely charismatic. I LOVE him.
Agreed. He's not the only actor in the MCU who's worth listening to when they have something to say. There are a lot of actors, in general, who are quite intelligent and worth listening to.
as my friend nishika would say: stan Anthony Mackie for clean skin
stop playing, you don't know anybody called "Nishika"?
Leon Henry It's an inside joke with Anthony and Sebastian Stan
Stan Sebastian Mackonie Stan
He's 41?! I thought he was still 30 lmao
Same man, when he said 8 mile was 20 years ago and he was 21 I was like waitt and like how is this man 41??
@Bdub Chadwick is not surprising. Paul Rudd is the immortal one
Lich King uhh Chadwick looks like he’s in his 20s Rudd looks good for his age
When you're rich and famous you have enough money to afford a good workout and healthy food.

THREE ANTHONY MACKIE INTERVIEWS WITHIN 24 HOURS YES WE STAY WINNING
Anthony Mackie is a funny, energetic guy. Great interview. Always enjoy hearing actors talk about their career.
He's so remarkably intellectual and thoughtful while also being charming and fun - loving and easygoing. Usually it's either-or, and when you get both they go down in history. You don't forget them.

Thank you!
CRUSHED IT
What about Black Mirror
I didnt like him as much in Altered Carbon. The previous guy was way way better and more charismatic.
This dude just radiates charisma. Love this guy as an actor and can't wait to see the future of Sam with the Shield now.
Coolest dude on planet earth, I swear, he gives me the strongest good vibes ever.
That Captain America story with his kid was adorable lol.
"I don't care what anyone else says. My son said it's cool, so it's COOL." Not only father of the year, but also line in general of the year!
Captain America: “Try it on”
Falcon: “I must consult with the Elder Gods”
Unrelated weird meme...
wait whats a mortal kombat meme doing here lmao
Don’t think that’s how it works
Two April 2019 releases that center on time travel but don't actually convey it as well as they think they do.
The connection isn't really relevant here, but it checks out.
"you know that's rich people stuff" lmfao
d4nielar I read this as he said it
Anthony Mackie reminds me a lot of young Will Smith in how energetic he is and how genuine he seems. Its a great quality
Mackie is a great actor, I still remember seeing him the first time in 8 Mile. Now I just remember him as Captain America's sidekick lol
Everywhere I go, I see your face
“Sidekick??” Bro he IS Captain America now
And now he is Cap.
He is Captain America now 😎
“Yo Samuel L. Jackson you want some coffee”
Sam: -__-
These new Mackie's video popping up on TH-cam everywhere is the kind of thing world needs right now
"I was at Julliard"
So he did go to private school 🤔
😂😂😂
elmore csben I go to a private school what’s wrong with that
@@icreatevideos2025 it's a reference to 8 mile... highly recommended
That’s because his parents could afford it with their real good marriage.
His real name is Clarence
They need to do this with Sebastian Stan soon. Kings, Political Animals, Once Upon a Time, then First Avenger, Winter Soldier, I'm Not Here, Civil War, Infinity War, Endgame, and he has a few movies coming out this year I'm excited for.
Countries To Go he was great in his brief scenes in Rachel Getting Married and Black Swan
@@antoniobrooks1113 Yeah, I also forgot about his Broadway show Picnic that he was great in. He could talk about that too.
there's also "I, Tonya" with Margot Robbie and Gossip Girl
He has been in a lot of popular shows and movies
He was also amazing on "The Devil All The Time".
His character was terrifying on there.
Not a word about The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
They could have allowed him to spoil something. If Disney does as good of a job with the upcoming Marvel series as they did with the Mandalorian, it could be a pretty good watch...
Yea right
Yea.
@@sickfoo5506 well the show looks promising so its most likely to be a hit.
Mandalorian and Falcon and the Winter Soldier are totally different studios with different visions. One is Star Wars the other is the MCU. That being said The Mandalorian seems like it was the luck of them being allowed to do what they want. The MCU I have MUCH more faith in to make a good product, they've proven the strength in serialized storytelling through movies and I think that will translate fantastically to the small screen.
Only Mark Ruffalo and Tom Holland are allowed to spoil Disney projects.
Didn't even talk about Pain and Gain.
Yeah... 🤬🤬🤬
TBH I wouldn't want to talk about Pain and Gain either.
fr tho
It's still on the timeline. They didn't cover every single role.
Or the Adjustment Bureau
We need more fan pages dedicated to this guy. He deserves the same amount of love we give Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans.
After watching this video I now appreciate Anthony Mackie. He’s the epitome of being in love and being grateful for his job. He’s working yet enjoying it.
Love that story with his son. Beautiful. Anthony is so great.
how is anthony mackie the most charismatic man in the mcu my god im hyped for cap 4
He’s so sweet, genuine, and like such a real person the fact that he still says “that’s rich people stuff” isn’t Mackie just the best😄
Honestly, he is gonna kill it as the new Cap. Can't wait to see him throw that mighty shield!
The longest Anthony has had to be serious on video since his last major role 😂
Its cool now that he's actually Captain America
You know what, I sold this man short. I saw him in Winter Soldier as Cap's sidekick, albeit an incredible sidekick.
I watched Endgame, saw the ending and I'll admit I wasn't disappointed in Cap's choice of Sam Wilson, but I honestly thought nobody could replace Chris Evans as Captain America, and while I LIKED Falcon, hearing him being set up to fill the shoes of my favourite hero of all time? It didn't seem like it would ever be enough.
Well I watched Falcon and Winter Soldier, and marvelled as the character of Sam Wilson filled my heart with hope. Not hope in the marvel franchise, hope for America or anything as specific or realistic or even dependable as that...
Just hope, a simple emotion that told me that things could be better. The kindness, depth and understanding Mackie brought to the role was astounding... and now I can't imagine anyone else filling those shoes, and the more I listen to interviews with this man... the more I regret ever doubting him.
I was at a low point recently, and simple words of hope and courage helped me stand up again. I'll always owe him for that.
Altered Carbon made the best choice casting him this 2nd season 👌🏽
Great Samuel L Jackson anecdote: 13:13
"Sam has been a presence in my life and a mentor and a voice in my head for the past 12 years. It's phenomenal. But intimidating, and scary, when you get to sit across from someone that you admire so much. So about the third day of shooting I realize that every time I talk to him, I call him Samuel L Jackson. So on the 3rd or 4th day of shooting I go "Yo Samuel L. Jackson you want some coffee?"
He says: "Stop saying my whole name, motherf**er!"
I'm thinking: "Oh Jesus...I just pissed off Samuel L Jackson!"
And then I'm like: "...wait, stop referring to him as Samuel L Jackson!!!"
This is my favorite part!! :D
How long did it take you to type that?
notice how he spent more than half the interview praising the people he looks up to. true admiration, i can't express my envy enough.
Love this guy. "I got to kiss Tom Hanks" lolll
Such an underrated actor. Hes brilliant.
He should've won an Oscar for The Hurt Locker. Incredible performance in that movie.
The way he talks about his career with marvel is just beautiful. I’m so happy for him, he deserves to be our Captain America. The shield belongs to Sam :,)
"I'm like BET"- Anthony Mackie 2k20 😂
"Morgan Freeman got my role in Unforgiven so I'll get my film with Eastwood yet" idk why that line almost killed me from laughter but it did.
Only ever seen Mackie in roles where is is serious or stern. His RL charisma and energy surprised the heck out of me :D
His character is one of the many reasons I love Captain America: TWS and Civil War.
A year after, he finally IS Captain America
*This the first time I'm hearing Mackie speak with an inside voice*
Anthony Mackie is a very good actor, he deserves everything that is happening to him.
“CUT THE CHECK!!”
I can’t wait to see him as Sam again in Falcon and the winter soldier. :)). 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍💯💯💯💯.
I absolutely adore Anthony Mackie!! He is so amazing to watch on screen and in interviews. I haven’t watched Hurt Locker. As a Combat Medic in Iraq in’03, I have “issues” watching military movies. Hopefully one day I may be able to but flashbacks aren’t fun. Smells, sounds, etc. send me back to that place. Movies ...just not ready yet.
I was kinda concerned about him starring in Altered carbon. I loved Joel and his style, as he made the character feel very brute-ish and chilled, and I couldn't see Anthony be able to act that way, but he actually made the character very human and showed lots of feeling, great casting!
I always see Mackie as the silly guy, cracking jokes but I love seeing him like this in a more serious way, he’s an incredibly intelligent guy with a really great career. He’s been in some amazing films and he’s incredibly talented.
I am kinda envious of this guy. He seems completely fulfilled and grateful for his life, and he looks like he's in his mid 20s in his 40s.
he talks about his pasion with so much pride and joy and its really inspiring.
I like how with all the money he has, he hasn’t closed the gap between his teeth. Says something about him and self love especially considering his job
lol what
@Black Ninja how is that shallow with enough money you can have that changed if mackie didnt like it he would remove it he dosent it care so it dosent affect him
Most blacks have that gap, in reality it shows you love the way god made you, so to alter the way you look is to disrespect god (look at Morgan freeman he could remove those dots on his face but that’s just him that what makes you, You)
Dude you cant even see it .Like if you didnt tell me this now I wouldnt notice at all
Same goes for Michael Strahan.
He's got such a great GIFT for storytelling, this guy can talk about all the varieties of cactus there are on this planet for 20 minutes straight and it'd still be captivating.
Man I just , you HAVE TO GIVE MARVEL CREDIT every character they cast just fits perfectly like they’ve been there for years
Yeah their casting director, Sarah Haley Finn (I'm not sure of the spelling), is on point on casting comic book characters.
I love Mackie!! He's genuinely a good guy!!!
I could honestly listen to Anthony talk about anything all day, what a COOL DUDE
Oh my god that's really sweet, his relationship with his kid 😭❤❤❤
I would love to just hang out with Anthony Mackie. Just chillin', talking about nothing. He just always seems like he's having a great time!
I like that he's been in the business 20 years and he still loves it so much and when he gets star struck talkin bout people, lol. Such a genuine dude
Awesome actor. Can't wait to see him as Captain America; the man deserves it.
He's so charming, I love him.
Someone get this man a western! Anthony is so talented, well-spoken, and handsome - so happy for his success in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Just sayin' I would pay money at a theatre again to see him dressed as a badass cowboy.
The first ever time I found out about him was when the hate u give came out.But the movie was good and I’m proud that I found a great actor like him!🤗
He did a great job on Altered Carbon. Can't wait for season 3 of the show, if it comes.
You should change the title to “from 8 mile to avengers endgame “
Yup, they got title wrong. Glad you noticed it too.
Hero's Journey not necessarily wrong
This is good😂😂😂 I love Anthony Mackie 😭😭
I love this man. He is one of my favorite actors and is so genuine.
What a cool, genuine guy. A breath of fresh air to see someone not take themselves too seriously.
Homie is one of the most underrated actors out there
The problem in this world is that a person shouldn't be lucky to be able to do what they love...
That’s life get used to it
I love Anthony's exuberance and love of life. He would be such a cool person to meet and have a conversation with.
I love how he spins all these stories about how he got onto certain projects, then got to Altered Carbon and was like, I almost got eaten by a bear and died rolling down a mountain. 😂
Truly a brilliant actor. I remember first seeing him in Million Dollar Baby and I was like this guy can hold his own against Morgan Freeman, who is he? And then I watched 8 Mile, and just became so fascinated with him. Seems like such a genuine and funny guy too! ♥️
He has so much positive energy in his personality, love it
What a wonderful guy
Is it just me or would Anthony Mackie and Will Smith be great friends?
“Yo” popa doc
Ended Rabbit right there
Anthony 'CRUSHED IT' Mackie.
Such a genuine guy, didn't really enjoy much of the first 2 episodes of Altered Carbon S2 but i'll watch a few more episodes for this guy.
*NOW HE IS C A P T A I N A M E R I C A*
I wish he spoke about his role in Abraham Lincoln: vampire slayer
He is so charismatic and funny.
I hope Marvel allows him to show more of this side of his
He's done so much and crushed every role Ive seen him in, and yet he is still not a household name. Probably one of the most underrated actors of our time. He is so good
now i can't imagine his son reaction to Falcon officially became a Captain America with wings
