Anthony Mackie, known for his role as Captain America, is eyeing a potential role in the John Wick franchise. In a recent interview, Mackie expressed his interest in joining either John Wick 5 or 6, hoping to share the screen with Keanu Reeves. His motivation stems not only from his love for action but also from a desire to be seen as a 'cool dad' by his children.
Mackie's confidence in his action skills is evident, citing a scene in Twisted Metal where he took a punch from pro wrestler Samoa Joe without flinching. As John Wick 5 is still in the early stages of development, details about the film are limited. However, the John Wick universe continues to expand with spin-offs like The Continental and Ballerina.
Currently, Mackie is immersed in his role as John Doe in the Twisted Metal series, a show inspired by the popular video game. The character John is depicted as an adult with a childlike perspective, experiencing everyday things for the first time, such as babies and ice cream.
Twisted Metal has been renewed for a second season, with promises of introducing beloved characters like Dollface, Calypso, and Axel. The showrunner, Michael Jonathan Smith, teases a season filled with humor, heartbreak, and intense character dynamics as the characters come together for the 'tournament season.'
Mackie's diverse career showcases his versatility as an actor, from wielding the shield of Captain America to potentially facing off against Keanu Reeves in the John Wick series. His unwavering commitment to new challenges solidifies his position as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
