Anthony Mackie is currently circling two high-profile projects, with an offer out for the actor to star in World War Z, and for a role in The Gangster Squad for Warner Bros.

It isn't clear what roles he would have if the actor signed on to either project at this point. Anthony Mackie is currently shooting Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter for 20th Century Fox.

World War Z is based off the best-selling novel by Max Brooks, which features tales of survival from the few who managed to stay human after a worldwide zombie infestation. Brad Pitt is attached to star in World War Z, which will be directed by Marc Forster.

The Gangster Squad currently has Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, and Ryan Gosling attached to star. The story follows an elite L.A.P.D. unit in the 1940s tasked with taking down the notorious gangster Mickey Cohen. Ruben Fleischer is directing The Gangster Squad for Warner Bros.
