In addition to backing Mackie/Wilson, Evan’s tweet also seemed to suggest that he won’t make an appearance in the latest installment, co-written by Falcon and the Winter Soldier head writer Malcolm Spellman. “If the question of who is entitled to carry the shield continues, all bets are off,” the publication mused. “Sam Wilson is Captain America,” Evans, 41, tweeted in response to The Hollywood Reporter’s post speculating as to whether he would reprise his role in a fourth Captain America film that filmmaker Julius Onah is set to direct, with Mackie starring. The character, once known as Falcon, took on the Captain America mantle during last year’s Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. On Saturday, the actor - who played the original Captain America, Steve Rogers, from 2011 to 2019 - made it clear in a tweet that it’s Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson who can now rightfully claim the title. The Marvel Cinematic Universe may not be big enough for two Captain Americas - and Chris Evans is more than happy to hand off his shield. He replied to THR that there is only one Captain A and his name is Sam Wilson. Not only did FaWS deal with why this was a dumb thing to say, Sam Wilson actor, Anthony Mackie, has a big job of winning Marvel fans over by becoming Captain America (even though it’s canon that Sam is the successor) and doesn’t need crap from publications like THR fueling the fire. Then they referenced Falcon and Winter Solider’s storyline, cheekily saying, “though if the question of who is entitled to carry the shield continues, all bets are off.” It was a dumb thing to print, no matter how it was intended. They hinted that nobody knew if former Captain A, Chris Evans, would make a cameo. But in an effort for clicks, THR ‘playfully’ threw around some theories. Over the weekend, The Hollywood Reporter posted a series of tweets announcing that the next Captain America movie had found its director, Julius Onah, which is great news. However, their multi-faceted approach to how racism would factor into a superhero reality was interesting. I liked Falcon and Winter Soldier, but I recognize it was not a favorite. WandaVision was arguably the best and its commentary on grief was unlike anything I’ve seen in popcorn fare. I don’t think they’ve hit it out of the park with everything, but the miniseries dealt with important issues outside the superhero stories. A post shared by Chris Evans know a lot of people are underwhelmed with Marvel’s phase four.
