Anthony Mackie Kisses a Mystery Woman in London: See the PDA-Packed Photos
Anthony Mackie was spotted recently in London with an unnamed woman
The pair was photographed kissing and laughing together on a street
Mackie previously told PEOPLE that he finds the idea of dating 'really hard'
Anthony Mackie appears to have a mystery woman in his life.
The Captain America: Brave New World star, 46, was recently spotted locking lips with a woman on a street in London.
In photos first published by TMZ, Mackie could be seen smiling, laughing and embracing his blonde friend, packing on the PDA on what appeared to be a steamy date night. He wore a dark hooded coat, while she wore a white top with gold jewelry.
'The idea of dating is really hard,' the Marvel actor told PEOPLE in February. 'How do you trust someone? How do you put yourself in a position to be vulnerable? How do you know what someone really [wants] from you when all you want is to just be loved and appreciated? What does that look like?'
As for his preferred dating methods, Mackie hinted that he does not use the internet. 'I'm older and I don't do the apps,' he quipped at the time.
Mackie married his childhood sweetheart, Sheletta Chapital, in 2014. The pair, who divorced in 2018, share four sons and are based in New Orleans.
Earlier this year, the Hurt Locker actor told PEOPLE that being a dad is more central to who he is than being a movie star. 'My first job, my most important job, is just being a good dad," he said. "My work part of it doesn't really matter.'
Mackie has had a busy 2025 on screens big and small, leading Brave New World, guest-starring as himself on The Studio, and lending his voice to The Electric State and Sneaks. Season 2 of his post-apocalyptic action comedy Twisted Metal premiered on Peacock on July 31.

I didn't think I would get to sing with my choir again but then these amazing angels did this
A terminally ill woman who "never thought" she'd be able to perform with her beloved choir had the "amazing" experience of reuniting with her friends to perform at Cardiff Castle thanks to an incredible group of volunteers. Annette 'Nettie' Burtenshaw, from Penarth, was transported by off-duty ambulance workers from the University Hospital of Wales to perform with the Rock Choir at a City Hospice event on Sunday, August 10. Nettie, who was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2021, and later bone cancer, was able to give a rousing performance thanks to a Welsh Ambulance Service initiative which helps patients at the end of life to have a memory-making last journey to their favourite destination. Nettie said it was "amazeballs" to be the 100th patient of the Wish Ambulance.

"It felt amazing – it was like 'Oh my God, I'm here.' I never thought I'd make it."There was no way on earth I could have done it without the Wish volunteers, they were angels."From the bottom of my heart, thank you."

‘Eyes Of Wakanda' Writer Marc Bernardin On Marvel's Animated Black Panther Spinoff
It's been a long winter for Marvel fans looking for the blend of memorable characters, brisk storytelling, clever worldbuilding and spectacular visuals that built the studio into a juggernaut in the 2010s. One pocket of hope lies with Marvel Studios Animation, producers of the very entertaining in-continuity series What If…? and the huge hit X-Men '97, two of Marvel's best-received projects of the 2020s. They continue that winning streak with Eyes of Wakanda, a new 4-episode miniseries that dropped this month on Disney+, that delves into the backstory of the Black Panther's homeland while weaving some loose threads in Marvel's story tapestry in with actual history and myth. Showrunner Todd Harris, who developed the visual look for a raft of hits at Marvel and elsewhere over the past decade-plus, put together a great team around the show, including writer Marc Bernardin (Jay and Silent Bob, Star Trek), who wrote episodes two and three and is listed as a co-producer of the series. 'Todd sold [MCU head] Kevin Feige on this story of Wakanda through the ages,' said Bernardin in a phone interview earlier this month. 'As a writers room, we just started exploring where we could set these stories and how we could get the most bang for our buck.' Bernardin says he was intrigued by the premise of the hidden kingdom of Wakanda interacting with the outside world across the wide sweep of history. The first two episodes of the series take place thousands of years in the past, while the final two are in more recent centuries. 'One story we knew we wanted to tell was the Trojan War story,' he said, referring to S1E02, 'Legends and Lies,' which he wrote. 'We knew Memnon, a character from the Iliad, was a king of Ethiopia who had something to do with Achilles, so legend already gave us a head start.' Rather than giving us a paint-by-numbers action yarn, Bernardin uses the premise to explore the ethical compromises and hard choices that Memnon – secretly a Wakandan agent tasked with recovering a stolen artifact from Troy – has to navigate at the cost of his close personal relationships and honor. The story loses none of its depth and drama for being animated, while gaining a lot of visual panache. Bernardin's other script, S1E03, 'Lost and Found,' involves a more cocky Wakandan agent stealing another artifact, this one from an enclave in medieval China, only to discover that he might be the one getting played. 'Todd [Harris] is a huge martial arts fan, so we wanted to do a Kung Fu story,' said Bernardin. 'We thought, 'let's do a James Bond story with Kung Fu, where the Bond girl is every bit is formidable as Bond is.' Those were the pieces on the table that we get to play with.' In the episode, (minor spoilers), the Wakandan operative is followed back to his reclusive homeland by the woman he thought he was using to gain access to a sacred artifact. Instead, she is actually a powerful warrior trained in the 'Iron Fist' discipline from her homeland Kun Lun. Iron Fist is another Marvel character, last seen on screen in an unremarkable Netflix series from 2017, whose backstory is similar to the Black Panther. 'Kun Lun and Wakanda are almost sister cities,' said Bernardin. 'They are secret places in the world that have become advanced and enlightened, and they produce heroes with special abilities. Keeping Iron Fist alive was something [the Marvel brain trust] was interested in doing because I think it's something they want to pay off later.' These little breadcrumbs in Eyes of Wakanda tie the series to the broader MCU without the sense that viewers need to 'do their homework,' as tends to happen in the studio's more recent live action series and features. It also keeps alive the legacy of Marvel's last bona fide solo superhero hit from the big screen – a character pivotal enough that you can almost track the change in critical and box office fortunes of the MCU to the demise of Black Panther's charismatic star Chadwick Boseman, who died in August, 2020. 'Eyes of Wakanda is definitely a way to keep Wakanda in the hearts and minds of the audience, knowing that there is ultimately a thing they can't have back,' said Bernardin. 'They wanted the Black Panther they fell in love with. So how do we give them those kinds of stories without invalidating or diminishing what they loved? We end up eliding it by saying 'we love it too, and here are some other things you might love.' We provide connections to the Black Panther in ways that feel respectful, that are still about these characters and their importance in the world.' Eyes of Wakanda also resonates thematically with the Afrofuturist vibe that made Black Panther so inspiring. In the MCU, Wakanda exists as a counternarrative to colonial conceptions of Africa as backward compared to the west. Instead it was actually an African civilization that developed all of these technological and cultural innovations well before anyone else; they just guarded them jealously rather than imposing them on the rest of the world. The animated series makes clear that extends as far back into history as you care to go. It was a bold premise when Jack Kirby and Stan Lee introduced it in the comics in 1966; it was bold on screen in 2018, and it remains bold, maybe bolder than ever, in the brave new world of America in 2025. 'Given a few things that have happened in the world [since the show was first conceived several years ago], I think it would be difficult to impossible to get Season One greenlit today,' says Bernardin. 'But, it did get produced. It's out there. And if it achieves some measurable success, the possibility of Season 2 becomes a business decision. Disney can read the data as well as anyone, but it would be difficult to steer away from it if it works. Fans seem to like it. Critics seem to like it. Can we give them more? Sure. There are so many place we can go, we have nothing but a broad canvas of history in which to set more stories.'

Kate Middleton and Prince William Relocating Family After 3 Years Living in Adelaide Cottage
The couple and their three children are rumored to be moving into eight-bedroom Forest Lodge in Windsor NEED TO KNOW Princess Kate and Prince William will be moving home "later this year" alongside their three children, a spokesperson at Kensington Palace confirmed to PEOPLE The Wales family will be relocating to eight-bedroom Forest Lodge in Windsor, UK newspaper, The Sun reported on Aug. 16 The move comes three years after they move to Adelaide Cottage — they also have a country home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk and a London base, Kensington Palace The Wales family is on the move after finding their ideal family home. On Saturday, Aug. 16, a royal source revealed that Princess Kate and Prince William will soon be leaving their Adelaide Cottage home alongside their three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis — in favor of another property in Windsor, UK newspaper The Sun reported. They will allegedly be relocating to eight-bedroom Forest Lodge, which is not far from their current four-bedroom residence, Adelaide Cottage, per the outlet. 'The Wales family will move house later this year,' a spokesperson at Kensington Palace confirmed to PEOPLE. Forest Lodge is currently undergoing some minor renovations ahead of the family's move, which the Prince and Princess of Wales are paying for themselves, according to The Sun. Prince William, 43, receives around $30 million a year from the Duchy of Cornwall Estate. The Wales family will likely remain in their new home even when William becomes King. The relocation comes after they moved to Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor royal estate three years ago. In that time, the three children started at co-ed prep school Lambrook, in nearby Ascot. The family has also had to overcome their toughest challenges. Princess Kate, 43, has undergone grueling chemotherapy for cancer — which ended last summer — while King Charles was also diagnosed with an undisclosed cancer. He is still receiving treatment. Soon after they settled in Adelaide Cottage, the family also mourned the loss of Queen Elizabeth in September 2022. Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! The Wales family also has a country home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk and a London base, Kensington Palace. Ahead of their move to Adelaide Cottage, it was revealed that their Norfolk home "is their happy place." "The reality is they are quite confined in what they can do in London," a friend told The Sunday Times in 2022. "The kids can't go into the park and kick a football with friends. Their plan is to be there for the next 10 to 15 years and then move to Anmer, which is so special to them." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
