Following Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie has closed a deal to star in Captain America 4.
As reported by Deadline, Captain America 4 is being written by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's head writer and creator Malcolm Spellman and series staff writer Dalan Musson. Deadline's sources have also said there is no director set for the film as of yet.
There is also no word as to whether or not Sebastian Stan will return as Bucky Barnes in Captain America 4, and Deadline also notes that, "this is not believed to be the top secret project tipped by [Deadline writer] Justin Kroll that might bring Chris Evans back into the fold."
This news follows a similar report by The Hollywood Reporter that also noted this project was in development, and this latest update confirms it is well on its way.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier told the story of Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson becoming Captain America, and the series finale left the audience with many questions regarding John Walker, Sharon Carter, and much more.
While there is no word as to when this movie would hit theaters, we do know that the MCU film with the farthest away confirmed date is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on May 5, 2023. There are a ton of other projects in the works without dates as well, including Moon Knight, Blade, and the second season of Loki, so it will be interesting to see where Captain America 4 fits in.
