Marvel actor Anthony Mackie wants to be the next James Bond: My Bond would be cool, milky smooth

Anthony Mackie will be reprising his role of Sam Wilson / Falcon in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4.

Captain America actor Anthony Mackie would love to be the next James Bond, but says he would prefer the character to be more “mellow” than in previous adaptations.

At the Comic Con here, Anthony said, “I’ve thought about this a lot. My Bond would be cool, I mean smooth, milky smooth. No nonsense, no pretence. My James Bond would be a very, very mellow man with the ladies. He would be very aggressive in his fighting style. And his Aston Martin would be a convertible with 20 inch rims and an 808 sound system in the trunk so you can hear him coming. That’s my Bond,” he said.

Currently, Daniel Craig is set to reprise his role as the 007 agent in the upcoming Bond 25 movie and already expressed it is to be his last outing as the womanising spy, reported femalefirst.co.uk.

A number of celebrities have been rumoured to be taking over from Daniel Craig when he steps down, including James Norton, Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston, Aidan Turner, Tom Hardy and Damian Lewis.

Meanwhile, Anthony currently plays the character of Sam Wilson / Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He joined the MCU in 2014, making his first appearance as the superhero in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and later in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, and Captain America: Civil War.

The 39-year-old actor will be reprising his role in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 too. He had earlier been part of Academy Award winning films like Million Dollar Baby and The Hurt Locker. His other noteworthy movie is Brother to Brother.
