“My mom will be so happy,” he told the magazine. “She’s proud of everything I do, but this is something she can really brag about.”

“My reaction was, ‘Yeah, of course, it’s about time!’” she said.
She added that she “was bragging when he was potty trained, I was bragging when he was walking, but this is something that everyone will know about. I’m pretty happy about it.

In Evans’ hands, the Avenger with arguably the least interesting personality and most one-dimensional character traits on paper became the beating heart of the entire McU, and Anthony Mackie faces a monumental task stepping into those shoes...
