Marvel star Anthony Mackie is forging his own path as a producer while starring in two fact-based films, 'The Banker' and 'Seberg,' in December.
When most of us last saw Anthony Mackie, he was being handed the shield of Captain America. He has been busy since then, notably taking up the mantle of … content creator.
He appears in two fact-based films in December: “Seberg,” with Kristen Stewart in the title role; and one he shepherded from concept to release, “The Banker,” coming from Apple and costarring Samuel L. Jackson, Nia Long and Nicholas Hoult. Mackie says it’s just a coincidence they both feature him as a black activist in the 1960s. After all, despite “Banker’s” cast and compelling true story, it took 10 years to get to the screen.
All the available projects about black people, Mackie says, are “about a drug dealer from the ’50s or a drug dealer from the ’80s or the 2000s. Every TV show is about a drug dealer. I didn’t grow up like that. My brother has his PhD in engineering. My other brother has a law degree. My grandfather was a sharecropper. So I wanted to present the people that I knew, that I grew up with. The men that I know.”Jamal “opened a community center; he worked in his neighborhood,” he says.
Jamal had serious brushes with the law and reportedly was mentally unstable. Mackie says the film’s portrayal focuses on his lesser-known sides.
