Anthony Mackie Has a Message for Tom Holland Ahead of ‘Captain America: Brave New World’:”I’m Going to Make Sure That Marvel Makes Him Come to the Premiere”

The feuds between actors in Hollywood can be epic, mostly due to the fact that they transpire in front of the whole world. Some are more serious in nature and some are more playful, and if you’re wondering how a feud between two superheroes looks like, you don’t have to go further than Tom Holland and Anthony Mackie.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Anthony Mackie’s Falcon first met in ‘Captain America: Civil War’ in 2016. During press junkets for the film, Mackie would tease Holland, jokingly calling him a diva and making fun of him needing frequent breaks and supervision on set. This banter continued in subsequent interviews. Holland recalls a specific incident where he used one of Mackie’s catchphrases on set, unintentionally stealing Mackie’s thunder and possibly sparking their playful rivalry.

They have engaged in playful banter over the years, with both actors making jabs at each other. In one instance, during a Comic-Con interview in 2018, Mackie jokingly admitted he hadn’t seen Holland’s film ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming,’ prompting Holland to cleverly retort about Mackie not having his own character-centered project at the time. This is what leads us to the topic of our article.

Following CinemaCon, where exclusive footage from ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ was released to the attendees, Anthony Mackie sat down for an interview and explained what he plans on doing with Holland now that his standalone project is nearing release:

He did that on a very public stage, so I’m going to hold that till the premiere. I’m going to make sure that Marvel makes him come to the premiere, and then I’m going to sit him next to me, and I’m going to watch him watch the movie.

This might sound extremely bitter, but Mackie delivered it in a playful tone and we have to let you know that the two are great friends in real life.
