Make-A-Wish Announces Raffle For Captain America Shield Signed By MCU Stars

[D J C]

 

A uniquely designed Captain America shield — featuring the signatures of Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan and Wyatt Russell — is part of a raffle benefiting the Northeast New York chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. All four actors have wielded the iconic symbol throughout the course of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Evans played the original Captain America, Steve Rogers, while Mackie's Sam Wilson later took up the mantle following the events of Avengers: Endgame. Stan continues to play Cap's trusted friend, Bucky Barnes (aka the Winter Soldier), while Russell joins the fray as U.S. Agent., another incarnation of the hero, introduced in the 2021 Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

 

The Captain America saga is expected to continue with a Captain America 4 film, which is currently in development at Marvel Studios. There aren't many details about the new project available at the moment, aside from Mackie reprising his role and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier writers Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson penning the script. Marvel has also yet to confirm the Captain American 4 release date, specific plot elements, or other cast members.

 

Nonetheless, the four main stars of the Captain America series continue to remain connected with the character, even while venturing off into their other respective projects. Evans, Mackie, Stan and Russell recently partnered with Make-A-Wish Northeast New York to raffle a custom-made shield, designed with the symbols of Captain America, the Winter Soldier and U.S. Agent. Each actor signed their respective section of the 25-inch shield, while Evans' name graces the star in the middle. Check out photos of Stan and Evans posing with the signed shield below.

Playing a Marvel character is certainly a role one signs onto for a lifetime. While Evans for the most part has hung up the shield in the MCU for good, he'll forever be known as Steve Rogers to most fans. However, Mackie and Russell's legacies in their respective roles are just beginning, and Stan, despite having never assumed the role of Captain America himself, will always be an integral player in the iconic hero's overall arc. It is heartwarming to see the actors using their notoriety for charity, and especially amusing to see Stan posing with the shield in his Tommy Lee get-up, as the actor seems to have posed for the photo amid filming for Pam & Tommy.

 

Beyond the autographs and the charitable cause the Cap shield is going toward, the item itself is impressive on its own. The design is a creative tribute to not just Captain America, but to the supporting characters who have helped to shape his storyline. One thing is for sure, whoever wins the Captain America shield on March 26 will have quite the enviable item to add to their collection.
