There are a slew of upcoming Marvel motion pictures within the works, however none are in all probability fairly as anticipated because the Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday. One of many headlining Avengers (whose chair we did see), Anthony Mackie, is headed to London to start out filming the subsequent journey of “Earth’s Mightiest Heroes,” and he simply reminded the world that heroes are available all shapes, sizes, and sure, animated kinds too. The Twisted Metallic actor was noticed carrying a Powerpuff Women T-shirt, and I like seeing these fandoms collide!
The Captain America: Courageous New World star took to his official Instagram Tales (@anthonymackie), posting a selfie with the caption “And so it begins…” whereas carrying a Powerpuff Women T-shirt and sitting aboard what seems to be a flight en path to filming. The picture, now making the rounds on social media, is splattered with dramatic purple filter results, as if Mojo Jojo himself acquired maintain of a bucket of stage blood.
Whereas the blood-spatter filter might nod to the intense tone followers count on from Doomsday, the T-shirt suggests Mackie hasn’t misplaced his sense of enjoyable or whimsy. (Let’s be trustworthy, if anybody might take down Doom, I might put cash on Sam Wilson with the Powerpuff Women backing him up.)
The 8 Mile alum seems tremendous chill and able to lead Earth’s Mightiest Heroes as he heads to London, rocking Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup like a real ’90s child. It is the sort of outfit that screams: “I can wield the protect and nonetheless vibe with some basic cartoon chaos.”
The Russos need to be fairly strategic with regards to retaining monitor of all of the heroes lined up for Avengers 5 and 6, however don’t be concerned, this is not an announcement about these ladies popping up in a wild crossover or getting their very own 2025 film launch. That stated, I wouldn’t completely be towards it! Simply image the superior mixture of MCU vibes and Cartoon Community nostalgia.
We would not get a crossover with the tiny heroes from Townsville, however we’re lastly touchdown that X-Males crossover we have all been ready for! Anthony Mackie is pumped about teaming up with Cyclops and Nightcrawler. The cool information for the previous Falcon and followers is that each Cyclops and Nightcrawler are confirmed for Doomsday, with Sonic the Hedgehog’s James Marsden and even The Traitor’s host Alan Cumming coming again to reprise their roles. With the Russo brothers again within the director’s seat and a unbelievable lineup that features Paul Rudd, Florence Pugh, Pedro Pascal, Tom Hiddleston, and Robert Downey Jr., this film seems like a large deal for each the Avengers and the X-Males.
For longtime followers of Mackie, that is simply one other instance of the actor’s mix of coronary heart, humor, and unshakable cool. For followers of the Marvel motion pictures so as and The Powerpuff Women, it’s the multiverse mashup we didn’t know we would have liked however can totally embrace. And if Marvel ever desires to provide us a post-credits animated crossover that includes Cap and the ladies saving Townsville from multiversal doom? Nicely, they’ve acquired my consideration.
Till then, catch Anthony Mackie’s first solo journey with the Defend, as Captain America: Courageous New World simply hit residence launch, and is the proper method to have a good time Avengers: Doomsday being one step nearer to assembling.
