Anthony Mackie’s flying high than ever these days in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, figuratively and kind of literally. After receiving Steve Rogers’ shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame and coming to terms with the responsibility it carries in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Captain America: Brave New World, the latest of the Marvel movies in order, saw Sam Wilson making his big screen debut as the new Star-Spangled Avenger. But if you think Mackie’s kids care about this, think again, as the actor dropped some f-bombs while sharing how they hilariously reacted to seeing the Brave New World trailer on the big screen.
This story, which Mackie told while appearing on The Pivot Podcast, unfolded as he and his four children were seated to see Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (now available to stream with a Paramount+ subscription). Unfortunately for the man who made his MCU debut in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the kids weren’t paying attention as the trailers were showing, with Mackie recalling:
We’re literally sitting there, we go see Sonic the Hedgehog [3], and I didn’t know they were playing a Cap trailer before Sonic. So we sitting there, and I got all the shit. Dude, I got popcorn, gummy worms… They had to bring out a tray for all my shit, right? So I’m talking to my son, hooking up his candy, I hear my voice. Like, ‘Oh shit!’ So I’m looking at my kids like [mimics gesturing at the screen]. So I don’t say nothing. My oldest son’s on his phone, my second son’s knee deep in these fucking gummy worms, right? [Laughs] The two little ones are fighting and throwing popcorn at each other. So I’m like, ‘Bro?! Look at the fucking screen!’
