Overview
- Mackie said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast this week that he would like two more Captain America films so Sam Wilson’s story can reach a full three-movie arc.
- No additional Sam Wilson solo films have been announced by Marvel, and Mackie will next appear as Captain America in Avengers: Doomsday, which opens December 18, 2026.
- Captain America: Brave New World underperformed for the franchise, earning about $415 million worldwide and posting mixed-to-negative reviews that have raised questions about greenlighting sequels.
- Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has said the MCU will undergo a “soft reset” after Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027, a move that could change which actors or characters continue in future films.
- Mackie’s public push underscores both an actor’s desire for narrative closure and a practical tension for Marvel, which is likely to weigh Doomsday’s reception and the Secret Wars reshuffle before approving more solo outings.
