“Harrison was the f---ing man, dude,” Mackie told TheWrap in an interview in August about his costar. “It’s funny, he shows up and everybody is kind of, you know, you don’t know what to do with Harrison Ford. Like, ‘Somebody get Harrison water,’ but he wasn’t that at all.”

He added, “For him to be in this profession for so many years and to see him at 80 excited to be a part of this universe was really dope and it put things in perspective how lucky we are, how lucky I am to be a part of it and bring these characters to life.”

Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World opens in U.S. theaters on February 14, 2025.
