Gilbert Flores / 2025 Getty Images Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie’s bond goes beyond their shared roles as Captain America. They’re also close friends, so much so that Evans gave Mackie early access to the “Avengers: Endgame” script, which is when the actor learned how he’d become the superhero.
“Chris Evans is somebody who I hold near and dear,” Mackie said in a recent interview with Cigar Aficionado. “We’re at Chris’ house, and because he’s Captain America, he gets the [script] pages first. So he’s like, ‘Yo, did you read the new scene?’ I’m like, ‘Nah, what’s up?’ So, he takes me down…and he gave me the script and let me read it. And it was really great and really emotional to learn it from a friend…I don’t know a lot of actors who would have appreciated or celebrated that moment with a fellow actor in that way because I was taking his job for all intents and purposes.”
