Anthony Mackie, star of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, is reportedly in talks to join Jonathan Levine’s latest project – a currently-untitled Christmas comedy featuring Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Levine has previously worked with the pair before on 50/50, with Rogen and Gordon-Levitt perfect as close buddies Kyle and Adam. If Mackie agrees on a deal he’ll join the film as one of three friends who reunite on Christmas Eve in New York, where we can only presume havoc is wreaked.
A deal better be made soon as production is supposed to start this summer, with a predicted release date of 11th December 2015. I’m a huge fan of both Seth and Joseph (and of 50/50 – that ending, that Pearl Jam song, Anna Kendrink!) but I haven’t seen Anthony in action, so it’ll be interesting to see how they interact and play off of each other.
