Anthony Mackie Says Marvel Is a ‘Space of Controlled Entertainment’: ‘There’s Only So Much Creativity You Can Bring to the Table’ Because of Comic Book Ties
Anthony Mackie says Marvel movies are like "controlled entertainment" because there's only so much storytelling freedom to be had.
While promoting his latest series “Twisted Metal” in the United Kingdom, Mackie compared the project to his experience making Marvel movies and told Radio Times there was a lot more storytelling freedom to be had outside of the MCU. Mackie agreed that a project like “Twisted Metal” has the freedom to introduce and kill off character at will, which is not something the Marvel Cinematic Universe can entertain so easily. “Captain America: Brave New World” is directed by Julius Onah (“The Cloverfield Paradox,” “Luce”) and co-written by Malcolm Spellman, who was the creator of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.” The cast includes Harrison Ford in his MCU debut as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, taking over for the late William Hurt.
