Anthony Mackie’s Captain America Almost Appeared In ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’

According to Marvel Studios’ Eric Carroll, Anthony Mackie almost debuted as the new Captain America in Spider-Man: Far From Home.

At the end of Avengers: Endgame, Steve Rogers passed on the Captain America mantle to Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson. Many fans expect Anthony Mackie’s Captain America to debut in the upcoming Falcon and Winter Solider Disney+ series. However, he almost appeared in Spider-Man: Far From Home according to Marvel Studios creative executive Eric Carroll, in an interview with ComicBook.com:

“We briefly talked about bringing in Falcon as Captain America at the end, like maybe once Peter’s arced, and he’s sort of like leading the team, like maybe he calls in a favor. But we also thought it was really important to the arc of this movie that there not be other Avengers available to Nick Fury or Peter, so he’d have to step up and do it himself.”

Kevin Feige added to why they decided to go against the cameo:

“Ultimately, Spider-Man: Far From Home is Spider-Man’s journey, whether any other heroes appear in it or not. “It’s all about Peter stepping up. And Peter getting out of the shadow, not just of Tony but of the Avengers in general. Because by the way, he’s Spider-Man. He doesn’t need to be in the shadow of the Avengers. So other than Maria, and Nick, and Happy, and the emotional presence of Tony… You hear, he asks about Thor. He asks about Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel.”
