February 21 Brings Elevating News for Anthony Mackie Fans

Anthony Mackie is already one of the biggest names in Hollywood, and his stardom is about to grow even bigger as he leads his first solo Captain America movie, Brave New World, which is due in theaters in less than one month on February 14. However, before he ventures back to Marvel for the first time since 2021’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, he teamed up with a Deadpool veteran for a sci-fi action thriller that’s coming soon to streaming. Mackie stars alongside Morena Baccarin in Elevation, the 2024 film that grossed only $3 million at the box office and is coming to Max on February 21. The post-apocalyptic sci-fi epic earned scores of 52% from critics and 80% from general audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

John Glenn, Jacob Roman, and Kenny Ryan all teamed up to write the script for Elevation, and George Nolfi directed the film. Glenn made his feature screenwriting debut in 2008 on Eagle Eye, the cyber-thriller starring Shia LaBeouf and Rosario Dawson that’s currently streaming for free on Pluto TV. He also recently wrote 10 episodes of SEAL Team, the Paramount+ Original war series detailing the lives of Navy SEALs as they venture out on America’s most dangerous missions. As for Nolfi, he made his directorial debut in 2011 on The Adjustment Bureau, the political thriller starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt that’s currently not streaming anywhere, and he recently worked with Mackie before Elevation on The Banker, the 2020 period drama that also stars Samuel L. Jackson and Nicholas Hoult that’s available to watch exclusively on Apple TV+.
