Anthony Mackie, who left Hollywood and moved back to his hometown of New Orleans, discussed how the decision has affected his career during a new interview.
Anthony Mackie keeps his business life separate from his personal one. The New Orleans native told 'Esquire' he intentionally leaves his family life private, keeping specific details about them out of the media.
“It’s always apropos for me when awards season comes up,” Mackie said, “Because I know I’ve done at least four performances that could have been nominated — if not for a Golden Globe, then an Oscar or an Emmy. Captain America is my Oscar, because I’ve been overlooked so many times in my career.”
Anthony Mackie has largely missed out on major awards during his acting career but makes a case for why playing Captain America means more than any of that. He also addresses the Avengers: Doomsday rumors.
Anthony Mackie responds to being called the "rudest celebrity" and tells fans to "calm down" over comparing Red Hulk to Donald Trump.
Actor Anthony Mackie finds tranquility returning to his roots in New Orleans, impacting both his career and roles. Yet, recent comments on Captain America's American ties stirred debate, requiring Mackie to reaffirm his patriotic pride and the universal values of the superhero.

The actor, who plays Sam Wilson/Captain America in the upcoming film "Captain America: Brave New World" film, took to Instagram on Tuesday with a statement he shared in a story about what the role means to him and expressing his appreciation for those who serve and have served the country.
