Anthony Mackie Admits It Felt ‘So Intimidating’ To Work With ‘Captain America’ Co-Star Harrison Ford Until He Said, ‘Let’s Shoot This Piece of S**t’

Harrison Ford admitted he wasn’t initially keen on the idea of his iconic Indiana Jones costume. Ford, 80, said when the ensemble was first presented to him, he had several questions before putting on the fedora and other accessories.

interview with GQ magazine, Harrison Ford recalled his initial confusion over the outfit he’d be expected to wear as Indiana Jones, back when Steven Spielberg’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981) was still in the development phase.“It was presented to me as an aspect of character in the first film,” Ford said. “My questions about it were many.

For years, the idea of films and TV shows based on video game franchises was ridiculous, as almost every single one of them was terrible. However, in the 2020s, that has changed.

Movie stars no longer “own” Hollywood, we are told, but two hallowed brand names owned much of the media space this week.

Tom Cruise has high hopes for his future. The "Top Gun: Maverick" star revealed to The Sydney Morning Herald at the Australian premiere for the upcoming "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One" that he wants the franchise to mimic Harrison Ford's "Indiana Jones." "Harrison Ford is a legend; I hope to be still going. I’ve got 20 years to catch up with him," Cruise – who turned 61 on July 3 – said.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Harrison Ford just wrapped up his tenure as Indiana Jones in the franchise’s fifth installment, “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which opened in theaters just a few weeks before the actor’s 81st birthday. Tom Cruise hopes to have the same longevity when it comes to playing Ethan Hunt in Paramount’s long-running “Mission: Impossible” franchise. Speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald at the Australian premiere of “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” Cruise said he wants to keep making “Mission: Impossible” movies until he is Ford’s age. Cruise just turned 61 years old on July 3, 2023. “Harrison Ford is a legend; I hope to be still going. I’ve got 20 years to catch up with him,” Cruise said. “I hope to keep making ‘Mission: Impossible’ films until I’m his age.”

Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank has been snapped with his new 'fella' after enjoying a night out with his co-stars. The actor, who plays Billy Mayhew in the ITV soap, enjoyed seeing Lionel Ritchie on stage at Lytham Festival with a number of his castmates.

Indiana Jones has been entertaining audiences for four decades, and the fifth movie is keeping up the tradition. In the past, Indiana Jones has worked toward stopping the Nazis in "Raiders of the Lost Ark," found himself on a dangerous adventure in India in "Temple of Doom," working against the Nazis to find the Holy Grail in "Last Crusade," and racing against the Soviets in search for a hidden artifact with his long-lost son in Peru in "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." The newest movie, "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," follows the famous architect on a journey with his goddaughter, Helena Shaw, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, on their way to find a dial that is said to hold the powers of changing history.

Anthony Mackie opened up about all things Marvel in a recent interview.

profile.“The first day was so intimidating,” Mackie said. “I was so f–king nervous I couldn’t remember my lines. He’s Harrison f–king Ford.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Anthony Mackie told Inverse that he was so nervous to shoot opposite Harrison Ford on their first day of filming “Captain America: Brave New World” that he forgot the script. Marvel’s upcoming fourth “Captain America” movie finds Mackie’s Sam Wilson stepping into the title role for the first time in a feature film. Ford is a new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, replacing the late William Hurt as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. “The first day was so intimidating,” Mackie said. “I was so fucking nervous I couldn’t remember my lines. He’s Harrison fucking Ford. There is this aura about him. But he dispels that really quickly because he’s such a cool guy. He’s everything a movie star should be. He would say, ‘Let’s shoot this piece of shit.’ And everybody was like, ‘Yeah, let’s shoot this shit.’”

Before Anthony Mackie was Captain America, and even before Falcon, he had his eyes on playing another Marvel character.

MCU fans know Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, aka: The Falcon, who will soon don the Captain America mantle in “Captain America: Brave New World” next year. But if Mackie had his way, he’d be another Marvel superhero altogether: Black Panther.

Anthony Mackie was asked about the allegations against fellow Marvel actor Jonathan Majors.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Anthony Mackie is one of the first Marvel actors to publicly weigh in on the assault allegation facing Jonathan Majors, who joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe earlier this year as Kang the Conquerer in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” Majors’ Kang is the new Thanos-sized villain of the MCU, meaning it’s likely he’s supposed to come face to face with Mackie’s new Captain America at some point in the future. “We’re a country that was built on ‘everyone is innocent until proven guilty,’” Mackie told Inverse when asked by Majors’ alleged assault. “That’s one of the staples of this country. Nothing has been proven about this dude. Nothing. So everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That’s all I can say. It’s crazy where we are as a society. But as a country, everyone is innocent until proven guilty.”

Jonathan Majors is “innocent until proven guilty” in response to the ongoing case against the latter.Majors was arrested on March 25 on multiple charges of assault and aggravated harassment following a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old woman. According to police, she was later taken to a local hospital in Manhattan “with minor injuries to her head and neck”.

Captain America believes in justice. Which is why Anthony Mackie, who is set to play the iconic role, is urging everyone not to rush to condemn fellow actor Jonathan Majors (aka Kang the Conqueror), who faces multiple accusations of violence against several women.

Anthony Mackie will soon hold the distinction of playing not one but two iconic Marvel superheroes, with his previous character — Falcon — picking up Steve Rogers’ shield to become the next Captain America, a transition that will come to fruition in next year’s “Captain America: Brave New World”.

Harrison Ford and his "Indiana Jones" co-stars had a great time filming the upcoming fifth movie. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Phoebe Waller-Bridge revealed what it was like meeting Ford for the first time.  She explained her first interaction with the actor was through a voicemail he left her, which she said "was actually great because I got my first screaming reaction out of the way without him actually having to be there." "He immediately went, 'Hey!' like an old friend," Waller-Bridge said, recalling the first time they met in person.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Anthony Mackie revealed in a new interview with Inverse that he wrote Marvel Studios multiple letters asking to play Black Panther before he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Sam Wilson/Falcon. Mackie figured the only prominent Black superhero Marvel might develop a movie for is Black Panther, so he put all his cards on playing T’Challa. “I had been contacting Marvel a lot about Black Panther,” Mackie said. “I had written them letters. I was trying to find a way to make them make Black Panther. And I wanted to be Black Panther because growing up I fucking loved Black Panther.” Mackie landed a meeting with longtime Marvel producer Nate Moore and directors Joe and Anthony Russo, who were developing “Captain America: The Winter Solider” at the time. No one told Mackie what part they were meeting him for at the time, so he just presumed it was for Black Panther.
