Captain America: Winter Soldier

In 2014, Mackie joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the Falcon, otherwise known as Sam Wilson. This casting would have a massive impact on Anthony Mackie’s net worth as well as his stardom. 

The Winter Soldier was an instant hit at the box office. On opening weekend, it already earned over $95 million.
