Deadline is reporting that Anthony Mackie will lead the cast of Outside the Wire, a new Netflix sci-fi flick from director Mikael Håfström (Escape Plan).
Mackie will play a drone pilot in the future who’s sent into a deadly militarized zone where he ends up working for an android officer to try and locate a doomsday device before it falls into the hands of insurgents.
In addition to starring, Mackie will also produce the film alongside Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Sinister) for Automatik, Ben Pugh (Ironbark) and Erica Steinberg (Death Proof) for 42, and Jason Spire (Operation Finale) for Inspire Entertainment. Script comes from video game scribe Rob Yescombe and Rowan Athale (Way Down).
He can currently be seen in the new season of Black Mirror, which just premiered on Netflix and will also be starring in the second season of the streamer’s Altered Carbon, which is expected to premiere sometime in early 2020, and the platform’s remake of Point Blank.
He’ll also be reprising the role of Falcon for his new Disney+ series The Falcon And The Winter Soldier alongside Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier.
Upcoming films include the Fox thriller The Woman In The Window, George Nolfi’s The Banker with Samuel L. Jackson, and the sci-fi film Synchronic.
