Anthony Mackie faced backlash for his recent comments regarding his role as Captain America in the upcoming film 'Captain America: Brave New World.' During a press tour in Rome, Mackie stated that Captain America should symbolize various values beyond just America, stating, 'To me, Captain America represents a lot of different things.' This perspective has drawn criticism from some American audiences, leading to discussions about the character's representation. The controversy isn't new, as prior actors like Chris Evans have expressed similar sentiments about the character's broader significance.
To me, Captain America represents a lot of different things and I don't think the term 'America' should be one of those representations.
It's about a man who keeps his word. Who has honor, dignity, and integrity. Someone who is trustworthy and dependable.
The response to Mackie's comments was swift, with users on X reacting, ranging from support to calls for a boycott of 'Brave New World'.
Mackie isn't the first Captain America to downplay the 'America' aspect; Chris Evans also expressed similar views in the past.
