Love Anthony and Robert ❤❤
Punch a face get some Goat
😂😂😂
Your videos are great! Take care of yourself!🔥
8-12-24 Robert Downey Jr cannot be trusted. Ask Terrance Howard.
I am ready for the Captain America debut!! Anthony Mackie is an amazing actor!!!
Shut Yo Ass Up Clarence from 8Mile who got smoke by Eminem hahahaha
🥰, Anthony Mackie 🥰
😂😂😂😂😂
yeaa i find it hard to comprehend too or to say, separate RDJ and Iron Man, yet i really have to analyze to myself, Tony Stark is dead, Iron Man will resurrect thru his daughter; so RDJ can really play a new one. it's just a hard bite or chew of it coz we just supra love RDJ, the only Tony Stark, the only Iron Man by par 🏆
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It would have been Kevin Feige's decision to announce Downey's comeback at SDCC, not Downey's.
And saying that you want to punch Downey in the face is so wrong, not at all in the spirit of friendship that fans loved so much about the original cast.
Love this dude
That’s not true. Terrance Howard vouched for Robert Downey Jr DO NOT TRUST ROBERT DOWNEY JR.
Mackie is the main man
Remember when Iron Man blasted Falcon in Captain America: Civil War?
It's Doomilicious. (Sage Nod)
Love Anthony Mackie! This movie looks like it's gonna be good. Giancarlo Esposito in the house!
He’s right, they did him wrong. Nobody talked about Captain America
I understand what he's saying, this could hurt his movie.
Love this guy ❤
Bull. Robert Downey Hood is fairweather fool
Imagine if Anthony could still be with William Hurt for Brave New World instead.
Be fair, nobody cared about captain Dei to begin with. He won't be fighting thanos using Mjölnir because he can throw the shield at trees wrapped in pillows.
I am 64 years young and have beena capt america admirer from my earlest memory. When anthoney yoo up the CA petard i was so thirlled. Im the proud grandmother to 4 beautiful children of color who share my love of the superhero format. They heard this first and they were just hollaring i thought the house was on fire… lol. Huge cudos anthony mackie… keep it proud…
Poor Anthony Mackie and his fragile ego at it again ! 😂 When Falcon and the Winter Soldier was coming out he was crying over the fact that ”it’s only a tv-show instead of a movie” and now RDJ coming back situation. Anthony, if you are reading this: You are doing great, just enjoy it man !
Inb4 he actually does get to punch RDJ in the face in Secret Wars
Disney should stop recycling actors into new characters. There are dozens of actors that can play Dr. Doom, same as for Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards, not any resemblance to the comics character. Timothy Olyphant could be perfect for that role.
I hope doom kills this new captain America and they bring back the real captain America…let him punch doom in the face and then doom laughs and swaps him away like a bug….let's be honest Dr doom would definitely beat this captain America but hey barely anyone dies in these movies…
Marvel Is gonna have some great movies to start the year off with
When he heard that RDJ is gonna be Doctor Doom, He legit said, "I get first dibs to knock him off."
Lol. Don't worry, Anthony Mackie. You still got people excited. Myself included.
“You can’t give a grown man goat, and then steal his day!” lmao this man 😭😭😅😅
hands down the funniest interview ive seen on a platform with boring interviews, Anthony is Anthony everywhere he go
Anthony Mackie is a national treasure, I'm dead right now 😂😂
Mackie is a class act! He handled this interview so well.
Not my captain
I still would love to see Captain America
Anthony is so freaking cool.
I got some theories on some great reveals for his Cap in Secret Wars. and considering this theory is based on Endgame canon, I think the Russos may come through on it. I would love for his character Sam to have his moment of impact in the climatic event. my theory surrounds why Cap gave him the shield.
