8 Years Later, Netflix's 2-Part Sci-Fi Series Quietly Becomes a Late-Night Favorite

At this point in Anthony Mackie’s career, he’s best known for his role as Sam Wilson in the MCU. He first began his MCU career as a complementary piece to Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers, but he’s since stepped into his own as the new Captain America. He headlined his first solo movie last year with Captain America: Brave New World, and he’s set to star in a vital role later this year in Avengers: Doomsday, the first Marvel tentpole event film since 2019. Even in the years since his MCU career began, though, Mackie has starred in plenty of other projects that have received their due, either in theaters or on streaming. Back in 2024, Mackie teamed up with a fellow MCU star, Morena Baccarin, for Elevation. The alien invasion sci-fi film is currently streaming on HBO Max in America.
