Anthony Mackie might be saving the world on screen, but off camera he’s making headlines for a very different kind of mission.
The Captain America: Brave New World star was caught in a romantic moment this week in London, sharing a passionate kiss with an unidentified blonde that left little doubt about the chemistry.
According to TMZ, the sighting happened Tuesday in Notting Hill. Witnesses say Mackie and his companion didn’t hold back, embracing right in the middle of the street as onlookers watched. The two leaned in close for a kiss, breaking only to exchange smiles before diving back into their PDA. At one point, the Marvel star placed a hand on the woman’s dress, staying locked in an affectionate exchange that seemed far more than casual.
It’s unclear if this is a long-term romance or a fresh spark, but their body language made the connection obvious. Mackie, 45, appeared completely relaxed and locked into the moment, making the most of his downtime before heading back to work on Avengers: Doomsday, which is currently filming in the city. Since taking on the Captain America mantle in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mackie has kept his personal life mostly private, but this London street scene suggests he’s ready to embrace life both on and off the battlefield.
Mackie divorced his wife Sheletta Chapital in 2018, and for years he avoided public romantic appearances. This recent PDA could mark a shift, showing a side of the actor that’s lighter and more open. Fans have been quick to speculate on the identity of the woman, but for now, she remains a mystery. Whether she’s someone special or part of a fleeting London romance, the moment has given Marvel fans something extra to talk about before his next big-screen outing.
Professionally, Mackie’s star power continues to climb. As Sam Wilson in Captain America: Brave New World, he’s redefined one of Marvel’s most iconic heroes, delivering a performance that’s earned both fan and critical praise. Up next, he’s set to return in Avengers: Doomsday, which he’s teased as a return to “classic Marvel energy.” Outside the MCU, Mackie scored with 2024’s Elevation, a sci-fi thriller that became a streaming hit after a modest theatrical release.
The actor’s 2025 slate is stacked. He voices characters in The Electric State and Sneaks, showing his range beyond live-action roles. He’ll also star in Desert Warrior, a sweeping historical action drama, and lead Apple TV+’s upcoming heist series 12 12 12. With a mix of blockbuster commitments and eclectic side projects, Mackie is balancing superhero duties with diverse, high-profile work.
For now, though, it’s the candid Notting Hill moment that’s stealing the spotlight. Whether it was just a romantic afternoon or the start of something serious, Anthony Mackie proved he can play smooth operator both in costume and out of it. And while fans wait for Brave New World and Doomsday, they’ll no doubt be watching to see if this mystery blonde appears again.
