Anthony Mackie doesn’t get any attitude from Harrison Ford, and he’s surprised.
The actor recently shared his amazing experience working on the sets with Ford. Captain America: Brave New World.
During an interview with E! News At the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, Mackie, 46, expressed his admiration for Ford’s down-to-earth demeanor.
“I was surprised at how normal he was,” Mackie revealed when asked what he liked most about working with the 82-year-old Ford on a Marvel Studios film.
He explained, “Usually you have a big star in a movie, they sit alone with their friends and won’t talk to you. But whenever the cast and crew get together, Harrison Come and chill with us like this. Regular person and eat that awful peanut butter and jelly sandwich.”
Mackie played Sam Wilson, who has taken over as Captain America after the events of Avengers: Endgame and Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Ford portrays Thaddeus Ross, stepping into the role previously played by William Hurt, who died in 2022.
The film introduces Ross as the new President of the United States, with a storyline that involves Mackey’s recruitment of Captain America for government missions.
In a light-hearted moment, Mackie discusses Ford’s fondness for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, a staple during his intense shooting schedule.
“All day, all day,” Mackie quipped when asked about Ford’s enjoyment of the classic breakfast.
“That’s what we had, when you’re out in the bush shooting these movies, fighting ticks and squirrels. They bring out PB&Js just to cheer you up.”
As the film gears up for a Valentine’s Day release, Mackey has some playful advice for couples.
“This is a great date movie. Ladies, all of you, take your boyfriend to see Captain America,” he encouraged.
“You get a lot of Kool-Aid points for that. I’m just saying, you take your boyfriend, you go to the movies, you guys go to dinner, it’s a great date night. Dinner and A movie.”
