Sebastian Stan Says He Misses Anthony Mackie ‘Almost Daily’ as Questions Surrounding ‘Captain America 4’ Persist
After starring together in 2022’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, both Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) this year. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like they won’t be crossing paths.
Captain America: Brave New World will be the first MCU released in 2025. Continuing the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the film will see Mackie’s Sam Wilson assume the role of Captain America for the first time on the big screen.
Stan, meanwhile, is set to return as Bucky Barnes for Thunderbolts*. The film will see the formation of a new Marvel team composed of former villains and anti-heroes.
Under the watchful eye of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julie Louis-Dreyfus), the new team will be comprised of Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), the Winter Soldier (Stan), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell).
Stan’s Comments on Mackie and ‘Captain America: Brave New World’
After Marvel established a deep connection between Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, fans have held out hope that the duo would reunite in Brave New World.
In a recent interview with Variety, Stan was asked about the prospect of Bucky popping up in the next Captain America film. While the actor played coy, he did admit to missing Mackie.
“[Filming] Thunderbolts*, let me tell you, it was a much quieter year for me. Because I didn’t see Anthony Mackie,” the actor teased. “So, I’ll say that. Although I miss Anthony Mackie like daily, and it’s something I don’t like to admit.”
Will Sam and Bucky Cross Paths Again?
While fans will have to wait and see if Bucky and Sam team up again, the chemistry between the two actors is still there. Hopefully, we haven’t seen the last Captain America and Winter Soldier adventure.
Captain America: Brave New World will hit theaters on February 14.
