Anthony Mackie is currently enjoying the run of his life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Sam Wilson finally realized his destiny, becoming the new Captain America. As it stands, we still don't know what the future has in store for the franchise's new Star-Spangled Avenger but the 44-year-old actor is determined to leave a lasting legacy as Cap.
Much like Steve Rogers, Mackie is willing to do "whatever it takes" to rival his successor Chris Evan's MCU legacy and as it stands, he plans to create moments in the franchise that would be on the same echelon as the former Captain America actor's iconic moments.
One thing he wants to pull in particular is a scene similar to Chris Evans' intense elevator fight sequence in Captain America: The Winter Soldier which was later given a nod in Avengers: Endgame. Speaking with E! News, the Captain America: New World Order star said the following:
"I want a fight scene that rivals Chris Evans’ fight scene in the elevator [in 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier] when he fought like 10 dudes in the elevator. That was a bad a** scene. The first time I saw that I was like, ‘That’s crazy.’ So I just want a fight scene that rivals that."

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was just the tip of the iceberg for Sam and while he's already proven that he's worthy of carrying the shield, his true test as Captain America is just about to start. Will he be able to top Rogers' contributions to the franchise? I believe he has what it takes but only time will tell.
Captain America: New World Order will begin filming next year.
