Chris Evans passes the shield to Anthony Mackie, the new Captain America

For 10 years, Chris Evans has been playing Captain America and the time has come to say goodbye. However, there are those who continue to refuse the idea that the actor left the Marvel Universe, because they have taken the news very badly that he will now be Anthony Mackie who will give life to the superhero.

As had happened in the past, it is not new that Marvel fans hoped that Evans – who played this character on all previous occasions – would reappear as super-soldier Steve Rogers in the next installment of the film, but this version has already been denied: Chris does not return, but Captain America does.

The news that Anthony Mackie – who played Sam Wilson in the series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier of Disney + – would become the new Captain America happened last week, along with the news that there is also a confirmed director to shoot the fourth part of the story of the frozen superhero during World War II. This is Julius Onah, the filmmaker who was in charge of The Cloverfield Paradox, in 2018.

So far there are no indications that question Onah’s work to direct the tape. Unlike what happens with Mackie, who since he plays Sam Wilson -a former member of the United States armed forces who assists fellow veterans with post-traumatic disorders, and is later recruited with the Avengers -since 2014-, a large part of the film’s fans have criticized the decision to include him in the cast, since playing Wilson automatically made him the successor to Chris Evans.

The middle TMZ indicated that the refusals against Anthony Mackie are motivated by racial prejudice, since part of the social network community has not tired of ensuring that a man of color should not be included to take over the role.

It was Chris Evans himself who broke with the illusion, posting a short but very clear message on his Instagram account on Saturday: “Sam Wilson is Captain America.”

Although much of a stir has been made among fans of the Marvel Universe, at the end of Avengers: Endgame (2019), it had already been abundantly clear that Evans’ character – in which he is portrayed as an older man – had appointed Sam Wilson as his successor.

Finally, the news portal indicated that now that Mackie adopts the figure of Captain America there will also be dark revelations about the origin of the character, because at the end of the series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier it is hinted that the United States government built the character at the expense of people of color.
