Anthony Mackie Says He Made Ryan Gosling, Jeremy Renner Famous by Getting Them Emmy Nominations: ‘I Am the Sauce…'
The actor, who made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, opened up about his Emmy nods this year for the shows The Studio and Shark Beach with Anthony Mackie: Gulf Coast.
Amid enjoying the nominations, the Captain America star hilariously shared that he is the white dude legend. If any of the white actors need a nomination at the award ceremony, all they need to do is share the screen space with him.
Anthony Mackie credits himself for making actors famous
In conversation with the talk show host, the Marvel star revealed that it is always the white dudes in his projects that take the trophies home.
Mackie said, 'I look over and everybody's like, 'Congratulations!' And I was like, 'Oh, what white dude got nominated?' Because I'm the white dude legend when it comes to nominations and winning.'
He further added, 'So, I made Ryan Gosling [Half Nelson] famous, I made Jeremy Renner [The Hurt Locker] famous, I made Bryan Cranston [All the Way] famous, and I made, now, Ron Howard famous. I'm like, 'You wanna get nominated? I'm the dude.' I am the sauce; I am the jelly in the donut.'
Elsewhere in the conversation, the actor claimed that he is happy with the second position. This year, Mackie is nominated alongside veterans such as Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, David Franco, and even The Bear actor, Jon Bernthal.
The movie star shared that he is honored to be in the same category as the actors, and with Scorsese and Howard being nominated, either one of them is going to take the prize home.
Explaining further, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier star said, 'I don't care about winning. Winning is being nominated against Scorsese and Ron Howard. Because one of them is going to have to say, 'Damn! I lost to Anthony Mackie.' They're thinking about me; they're shaking.'
As for the upcoming projects, Anthony Mackie will return as Sam Wilson/Captain America in Avengers: Doomsday.

Superman vs The Fantastic Four: Which film had the bigger opening weekend at the box office?
David Corenswet's Superman and Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby-led The Fantastic Four: The First Steps are the two big movies this summer. Both films arrived with good previews and opened big, both in the US and worldwide. But which film had an edge over the other and emerged as the winner? The box office results are in, and we might have a close winner. The two films were released just two weeks apart in theatres. (Also read: Superman director James Gunn says 'anti-American sentiment' is harming Hollywood films overseas) Superman and The Fantastic Four The First Steps got the cash counters ringing at the box office this summer. Superman box office figures Let's begin with James Gunn's Superman, which saw David Corenswet step into the beloved role of the Man of Steel. As per Box Office Mojo, the DC release collected $125 million at the North American box office during its opening weekend. At the worldwide box office opening weekend, the film crossed $95 million, taking its global debut at $220 million. After two weeks, the film has now crossed the $500 million mark in North America, reaching $289.5 million locally and $213.2 million internationally. Superman stars David Corenswet in the titular role, along with Rachel Brosnahan as Louis Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. The Fantastic Four opening figures Meanwhile, The Fantastic Four, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn, arrived two weeks later on July 25. The Marvel release collected $118 million domestically. Globally, the film was released in 52 markets, earning $100 million overseas. The gross overall collection now stands at $218 million. It's also the 37th MCU film to top the box office, contributing to Disney becoming the first studio to hit $3 billion in global ticket sales in 2025. By comparing these two figures, it is clear that Superman edged past Fantastic Four by a small margin. It will be interesting to see how Fantastic Four holds up in the upcoming weeks, as the performance of this film will also affect the future of its franchise.

The Fantastic Four India Box Office Report: ₹21.79 Cr in 4 Days, Drops on Monday
Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps had a strong weekend in India but saw a sharp drop on Monday: Friday (Day 1): ₹5.5 crore Saturday (Day 2): ₹7.35 crore Sunday (Day 3): ₹7.25 crore Monday (Day 4): ₹1.66 crore Total India Collection (4 Days): ₹21.79 crore (approx.) The big drop on Monday suggests that the film may struggle to hold audience interest during the week. Competition in India The film is facing tough competition: 'Saiyaara' (Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda) is still going strong with over ₹250 crore already collected. 'Mahavatar Narsimha', an animated mythological movie, had a ₹20 crore opening weekend. These movies are pulling audiences away from The Fantastic Four in India. International Collection Globally, the film is doing very well: North America: $118 million International markets: $100 million Worldwide total (opening): $218 million This makes it the 4th biggest global opening of 2025, after A Minecraft Movie, Lilo & Stitch, and Superman. The film's global success is clear, but in India, its future depends on weekday collections and how well it can compete with strong local hits.
