Anthony Mackie gives an update on Avengers: Doomsday, Entertainment News
Anthony Mackie has revealed the Avengers: Doomsday cast are still "in the midst of it" and production is "going well". The 46-year-old actor is set to wield the shield as Captain America once again for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) blockbuster, and Mackie has now stressed that work on Avengers: Doomsday is ongoing. When Screen Rant asked the 8 Mile actor if Avengers: Doomsday was close to wrapping production, he said: "No. Hell no. No, we are in the midst of it. "I mean, it's such a big, moving set piece, and it's such a big story. The best part of shooting a Marvel movie is that it's always an ever-evolving canvas. There are those staple pieces, and then there are the pieces that circulate throughout the course of the shoot. "So, we're in the midst of it, but it's going well." Mackie also teased his Captain America would still be "butting heads" with Sebastian Stan's James 'Bucky' Barnes in Avengers: Doomsday. He said: "I talked to Sebastian yesterday. We're still butting heads. All we do is fight!" Avengers: Doomsday — which is due to hit screens on Dec 18, 2026 — will star Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Wyatt Russell as US Agent and Lewis Pullman as Sentry. The Fantastic Four will also play a big role in Avengers: Doomsday, with Pedro Pascal's Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby's Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn's Human Torch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach's The Thing all confirmed to be returning for the movie. As well as the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, Avengers: Doomsday will see the return of many major X-Men stars, including Sir Patrick Stewart's Professor X, James Marsden's Cyclops, Rebecca Romijn's Mystique, Kelsey Grammer's Beast, Alan Cumming's Nightcrawler and Channing Tatum's Gambit. Although exact plot points about Avengers: Doomsday are unknown, the movie will likely follow the Avengers, the New Avengers, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men as they desperately try to stop Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) from carrying out his catastrophic plans for the Multiverse. Mackie — who most recently starred as the Star-Spangled Man in Captain America: Brave New World — teased Avengers: Doomsday would see "a chaotic destruction of the world". He told Extra: "From my movie, we went out building on top of that to this just being a chaotic destruction of the world." The actor also said Avengers: Doomsday — which is being directed by Joe and Anthony Russo — would be "carrying over" the poignancy and depth of the last moments from 2019's Avengers: Endgame, in which Iron Man (Downey Jr.) sacrifices himself to save the universe, and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) finally gets to lay down the shield and grow old with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). He explained: "When you look at the Marvel characters in the universe that we've created, there's an idealistic nature of the type of story you want and the type of you want coming from those films. "I've said it before and I'll say it again, that last moment in Endgame was probably one of the most poignantly realistic moments in film history. That was a true Marvel moment. "I don't think any other studio, any other directors, any other group of actors could have contextually put that moment together and made it that real. "That being said, I think this is a lot of carrying over, feel, and depth of that moment coming into the new universe." [[nid:720616]]

Harvey Weinstein 'would be a better father' if he was released from prison
Harvey Weinstein would be a 'better father' if he got out of jail. The disgraced movie mogul – who is currently in jail after being found guilty of sex crimes - has Remy, Emma and Ruth with his first wife Eve Chilton and India and Dashiell with ex-wife Georgina Chapman. Harvey told Candace Owens in a new YouTube interview: 'I'd move as close to my kids as humanely possible. My kids is number one now, my family is number one, because they're the important thing. 'I learned my lesson the hardest way possible. I was a good father throughout. The one thing I can say that people do say about me was that I was a good father. But I would be a better father - a lot better father.' Harvey – who has been accused of sexual misconduct by more than 80 women since 2017 - revealed that he now uses movies as a way to connect with his children. He said: 'We have a tablet, we get movies, normally six months later. And my son said to me, 'Hey dad, I don't believe that Captain America [Brave New World] is gonna be a good movie.' And I say, 'No. no, it looks good, I've heard it's good go see it.' 'He went and saw it and he said, 'Dad, it was terrible'. And then I finally saw and I had to call him on the phone and said, 'You know what, you're right, it was terrible.'' Harvey – who was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer last year – also spoke out about the terrible conditions in his prison, Rikers Island in New York. He said: 'This is a very rough place. This is an unhygienic place. You don't get your shirts, you don't get your socks, you don't get your underwear. The food is rancid. I mean it is really awful.' But, he is relying on his friends to help him get through it. He said: 'I have the strength of my friends. And they're not the friends of Hollywood, they're the friends that I grew up with and the friends that I made along the way that were just genuine and nothing to do with my career. 'As a result of my friends and my family and my kids, I'm able to just live for hearing their stories, getting a kick out of their stories.'
