Anthony Mackie Hopes For An X-Men & Captain America Team-Up In ‘Avengers: Doomsday’


Anthony Mackie is getting ready to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and hopes for an X-Men team-up in Avengers: Doomsday.

I have a Cyclops action figure on my key chain that I’ve had since high school,” Mackie said in an interview with Screen Rant while promoting his film Sneaks. Cumming recently teased that he has had makeup tests to reprise his role and in an interview on Today with Jenna & Friends said, “What’s great about it, it was four and a half to five hours before, and now it was 90 minutes … before all the tattoos were done by hand because they hadn’t decided on thm before we started filming and now there are all these little things that stick on — it’s a game changer.” Other X-Men actors set to reprise their roles in the new Avengers movie include Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier / Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), and James Marsden (Cyclops).
