Anthony Mackie was playing Captain Smooch on the streets of London -- caught locking lips with a mystery woman who looked very pleased with her assignment!

TMZ got the pics -- and let’s just say the "Captain America: Brave New World" star was in full smooth-operator mode in Notting Hill Tuesday ... getting handsy and swapping spit in a steamy embrace with the blonde babe.

The PDA-packed makeout sesh was a two-person show -- zero cares given. At one point, the Hollywood hunk even copped a smooth handful of her dress as they really went for it!

With Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps taking the top spot at the box office ... it's time to bring the MCU's newest family home with some super superhero merch.

Whether you're looking for something celebrating Mr. Fantastic and The Invisible Woman Sue Storm ... or the fiery Human Torch and The Thing ... we've got your covered, on everything from LEGO kits to cool clothes, bedding and more!

See the film's full Amazon storefront here.

Let's start off with merch of galactic proportions ... specifically, this LEGO Marvel Fantastic Four vs. Galactus Construction Figure!

We wanna see if you can guess who this actor is -- and we don't think you're doomed to fail this one!

We caught this Oscar-winning actor in 2024, just after he picked up a Golden Globe for his work in "Oppenheimer," and he'd eventually take home an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor ... sounds like a pretty good awards season to us!

We're all pretty pumped to see Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and The Thing take on Galactus in the "Fantastic Four: First Steps" ... but not all of the group's movies have been exactly marvelous.

Way back in the aughts, we saw the Marvel team -- including a pre-Captain America Chris Evans -- head to the big screen in 2005, and although the first one was received well enough, its 2007 sequel didn't exactly impress studio execs, and the group was shelved.

The Fantastic Four were brought back for another round in 2015, but after the movie tanked with both critics and audience, they were quickly pushed into the background as the MCU grew in popularity.

Rumors of Ryan Gosling being eyed to take over the Marvel role of Black Panther have spread like wildfire online ... but there is not a vibranium ounce of truth to it, TMZ has learned.

An insider with direct knowledge tells us ... Ryan has not been cast -- nor has he been eyed -- to play an iteration of Black Panther ... the iconic African superhero first played on the big screen by the legendary Chadwick Boseman.

Rumors of the brazen casting have swirled out of control -- even generating headlines -- and it seems this all started from a meme of Ryan's face photoshopped onto Black Panther posted back in 2018 ... and used by haters taking shots at Disney's diversity casting for historically white roles.

If you wanna roll with the A-list, you better look like you're on the roster -- and this hunk’s not just walking the walk, he’s swinging the punches too.

A bod like this doesn’t come around often -- so can you guess which grade-A slab of man this is?

Justin Baldoni's beef with Blake Lively is spreading beyond his former co-star ... because he’s now targeting Marvel and asking the superhero company to hand over some Deadpool docs.

Here's the deal ... Justin claims Blake's husband Ryan Reynolds mocked him in the latest 'Deadpool' movie and he warned Disney and Marvel to hold onto all the docs related to the characters Ryan plays in "Deadpool & Wolverine" ... but last week, Marvel filed a motion to quash Baldoni's subpoena.

Now, Baldoni is responding to Marvel's move ... and in new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Justin doubles down on his assertion that the Nicepool character is a mocking depiction of him.

Simu Liu is showin' what he's packin' under his red-carpet looks and takin' it off -- the actor is workin' with a loaded 6-pack!

The Marvel star took a couple thirst traps to Instagram, donning a pair of gray sweatpants and shakin' up the social media algorithms with his washboard abs!

By the way ... this isn't his first shirtless rodeo. Check out these two shots of him casually feelin' himself and bringin' his solid core to the coastlines!

Viola Davis says she judged some of Chadwick Boseman's choices on the set of "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" ... unaware he needed extra pampering because he was so sick.

The EGOT winner sat down for an interview with The Times -- published Friday ... and, she discussed the 2020 flick based on August Wilson's seminal play of the same name, which also happens to be the last part Boseman ever filmed.

Davis says -- like many people around the world -- the cast didn't know Chadwick was sick ... so, when she saw Boseman's girlfriend and make-up artist rubbing his back and playing meditative music, she was a bit critical.

Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson dons the red, white and blue as he steps into Steve Rogers' role for the first time on the big screen in this weekend's "Captain America: Brave New World."

And with a new Marvel movie comes mountains of merch!

From new action figures to toys, t-shirts, watches and more covered with the faces of Cap, Red Hulk and the new Falcon, we've pulled together the sweetest swag celebrating the latest additions to the MCU.

Sam dons a new suit in the new film, meaning there's a new action figure to go with it!

Jonathan Majors is NOT being considered for a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe ... at least not currently ... despite reports to the contrary.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Jonathan has not engaged in any talks to return to the MCU after he was booted in 2023 following a guilty verdict in his criminal trial.

Despite rumors of a potential return gaining traction on fan websites, our sources say the studio is not considering bringing Jonathan back into the MCU fold.

Anthony Mackie says he's proud to be an American, and was speaking about what he believes Captain America embodies.

The "Captain America: Brave New World" star just responded to the pushback he's getting online over his recent comments on Cap.

Anthony says ... "Let me be clear about this, I'm a proud American and taking on the shield of a hero like CAP is the honor of a lifetime. I have the utmost respect for those who serve and have served our country. CAP has universal characteristics that people all over the world can relate to."

3:55 PM PT -- Anthony Mackie posted on his Instagram Story Tuesday afternoon in response to online objections to his Captain America comments, writing ... "Let me be clear about this, I'm a proud American and taking on the shield of a hero like CAP is the honor of a lifetime. I have the utmost respect for those who serve and have served our country. CAP has universal characteristics that people all over the world can relate to."

Anthony Mackie's got a brave take on his "Captain America: Brave New World" role -- and let’s just say, the Internet is NOT pledging allegiance to it.

Check out this clip from a promo event in Rome -- according to Anthony, the star-spangled hero isn’t really about repping the country, despite the moniker. Instead, he says Cap stands for a lot of different things, but not "America," specifically … and he doesn't think it should -- and yeah, that’s ruffling some feathers.

Mackie’s making it about morals over patriotism -- signifying Captain America's a man who keeps his word, has dignity, integrity, and a few other traits that go beyond just red, white, and blue.

Ryan Reynolds made a surprise appearance at Radio City Music Hall on Friday night to support Hugh Jackman ... while the legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has escalated severely.

RR honored his Marvel costar and best mate at the opening night of Hugh's one-man show "From New York, With Love" ... offering a combination of ball-breaking and deep admiration for his fellow actor.

The few minutes were sweet and moving ... but odds are the war between RR's wife and Baldoni was on audience members' minds -- as that got even uglier this week ... and it looks to get worse.

It's worth noting Ryan has only made a few public appearances since the all-out war broke out ... at events without press ... who'd pepper him to address the situation ... much like this one.

Adam Scott tells us he's down to film more Marvel movies ... despite last year's massive flop.

We got the "Severance" star in New York City yesterday and our photog asked him about a potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Adam says he's open to pretty much anything these days ... so he's not ready to give up on superhero flicks, after appearing in the dud that was "Madame Web."
