Ford is a screen legend who does not appear to be slowing down despite being 81. Ford was cast as Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross following the passing of William Hurt, who had played the character since The Incredible Hulk. While Mackie is taking over the Captain America mantle, Harrison Ford is taking on a legacy MCU role, but under different circumstances. Mackie is a Hollywood veteran, having starred in the likes of Million Dollar Baby, The Hurt Locker, The Adjustment Bureau and, more recently, We Have a Ghost and the upcoming video game adaptation Twisted Metal. Studios are clearly bracing for the worst, with most opting to sit out this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, with the notable exception of Lionsgate.Harrison Ford and Anthony Mackie behind the scenes on Captain America: Brave New World (Image credit: Marvel)Īnthony Mackie has been in the MCU since Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but now his Sam Wilson is the official Captain America, leading the way for this new movie. The union has also raised issues about the use of artificial intelligence to replicate an actor’s likeness, improving compensation structures across various productions, and calling for fairer rules around self-tape auditions.Īs of this moment, the ball is still in SAG-AFTRA’s court with no final decision made. Actors and writers alike are seeking fair compensation based on viewership data from streaming platforms, and a standardized method of gauging this data. High-profile actors including Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, and Mark Ruffalo threw their support behind the cause, with a petition gathering signatures from more than 1,000 guild members.Įchoing the ongoing Writer’s Guild of America (WGA) strike, the potential SAG-AFTRA strike has its roots in the evolving landscape of digital media. This necessitated a renegotiation of the deal, and if talks were to stall, a strike had been authorized. The SAG-AFTRA, the labor union representing the lion’s share of entertainment industry actors, was approaching the expiration of its current contract with the major studios. Rumors of an industry-wide actor strike began to ripple through Hollywood in late June.
The timing could not have been more fortuitous, with the prospect of a SAG-AFTRA strike looming on the horizon, a strike that could cause the delay in production of other Marvel titles. A photo of a clapperboard from the MCU set alongside a caption simply reading “Wrap” revealed that the countdown was over.
In a recent Instagram story, Cinematographer Kramer Morgenthau gave us a sneak peek behind the scenes. The film promises to blend new faces with familiar ones, including the talents of Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and the legendary Harrison Ford stepping in to fill William Hurt’s shoes as Thunderbolt Ross.
We’ll see Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson don his star-spangled suit, wielding the iconic shield as our new Captain America. This next exciting chapter continues the story from the Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Officially wrapped up, the production concluded just hours before the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) could have potentially called “strike!” After three months of heart-pounding, high-stakes filming, the whistle has blown and the stage lights have dimmed. No one likes a cliffhanger, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest installment, Captain America: Brave New World, has given us one in the form of its production timeline. It’s been a rough few weeks for Marvel fans, but we’ve finally received some good news as it seems Captain America 4 will avoid any delays.
