Anthony Mackie’s Net Worth
Anthony Mackie’s net worth stands somewhere between $8 million to $10 million as of 2022, which we believe might not reflect his talent and brilliant career that spans over two decades. Nevertheless, it is an impressive feat and we have no doubt that it will only increase from here. A lot of his earnings have been from Marvel, and 2023 and 2024 will consist of two big projects including Captain America: New World Order and Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. It will be interesting to see the shift in his net worth in 2025!
Anthony Mackie’s Biography
Anthony Dwane Mackie was born on the 23rd of September, 1978, which makes him 44 as of 2022, although he doesn’t look a day over 30 and we must ask him what his secrets are! He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. His educational background when it comes to arts and theatre has been fairly impressive as he attended the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, North Carolina School of the Arts, and Juilliard School’s Drama Division at different points of his early life which was a clear indicator that Anthony Mackie wanted to become an actor, and he succeeded brilliantly.
Starting from 2002, this serves as a little fun fact about Anthony Mackie as worked as an understudy for Don Cheadle in play, and years later, we see Don Cheadle’s War Machine and Anthony Mackie’s Falcon appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe together, which almost takes his career around in a full circle, and we’re here for it! 2002 was a good year for Mackie as he also earned the OBIE Award for his role in the play, Talk. Mackie also appeared as Papa Doc in 8 Mile as the main antagonist, which was also released in 2002. This was the year critics and other directors were familiar with Mackie’s work, however, he was yet to gain recognition amongst fans.
Anthony Mackie Career
From 2003 to 2006, Mackie’s career advanced as he appeared in several movies ranging from Brother to Brother, Million Dollar Baby, She Hate Me, Half Nelson, Crossover and We Are Marshall. Mackie’s career had begun picking up the pace he needed, but unbeknownst to him, there was so much more in store for him. Despite his brilliant career in movies, Mackie did not give up on appearing in plays every now and then, especially in the years 2008, 2009, and 2010, when he made it to Broadway too! He managed his on-screen and on-stage roles perfectly well. He also appeared in movies like The Hurt Locker and Notorious during this time.
Anthony Mackie Movies
It wasn’t until 2014 that Anthony Mackie earned the title of Falcon aka Sam Wilson in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This also gave rise to the friendship between Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, and Anthony Mackie, which fans love even today. Mackie went on to reprise his role as Sam Wilson in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, where he was handed the Captain America shield by Steve Rogers himself. This was a controversial topic amongst fans which divided the fans into two parts, one which wanted Chris Evans to continue being Captain America and the other which believed that Anthony Mackie would be perfect for this role, and that’s what we believe. Mackie will appear in Captain America: New World Order in 2023, and we can’t wait to see his performance.
Anthony Mackie Acting
Even while Mackie played the part of Falcon, he didn’t stop being a part of other movies, for example when he portrayed Martin Luther King Jr. in the HBO drama, All the Way, which was a brilliant start to his performances on the small screen as we went on to appear in popular series like Altered Carbon and Black Mirror.
Even today, despite being Captain America, Anthony Mackie continues to focus on his other roles as well. In fact, earlier this year, it was announced that Anthony Mackie will make his directorial debut with the movie Spark, featuring Saniyya Sidney. We can’t wait to see more of Mackie, on the screen and behind the screen, too!

In fact, unlike other celebrities, Anthony Mackie takes to Instagram once in a blue moon, and it almost never concerns his private life.

In fact, the two of them have dated on and off since they were seven years old, and Mackie often tells the story about how she turned from his bully to his crush, which is always endearing for the fans to listen to. The couple had a very quiet and private wedding in 2014, and one would assume that this couple was in it for the long haul, but they split sometime in 2017 and filed for a divorce which was finalized in 2019. The couple shares joint custody of their children, and since then, Anthony Mackie has been even more private about his dating life. As of now, it is assumed that Mackie is living that bachelor life in his 40s!
