Anthony Mackie may be busy preparing for Captain America 4, but that hasn’t stopped him eyeing up some other projects. Speaking toTotal Film in our new issueout on Thursday, whichfeatures The Fall Guy on the cover, the Marvel star says he has his hopes set on John Wick 5.
“I’m really trying to get Keanu Reeves to consider me for John Wick 5 or 6,” he says when asked about what his “bucket list project” would be. “I think that will make me a cool dad if I had, like, a five-minute fight scene with Keanu Reeves. I’m gonna put up a fight! [Pro wrestler] Samoa Joe punched me in the face in this [Twisted Metal] and I did not go down! "
He adds: “John is really unique. I mean, he’s an adult, but he’s a kid. The great thing about this show is he’s experiencing everything for the first time. He’s never seen a baby before. He’s never kissed a girl before. He’s never had ice cream before.”
Twisted Metal is out on Paramount+ now. And you can read more about it and a whole lot else besides in the new issue of Total Film when it hits shelves and digital newsstands on Thursday, March 28.
