Anthony Mackie has raised the controversy about a comment he did on a new marketing trip for Marvel’s “Captain America: Brave New World.”
On Tuesday, the actor and the prolonged Marvel Cinematic Universe star wrote in his Instagram stories, “Let me be clear about this, I am a proud American and put on the shield for a hero like CAP is the honor of a lifetime. I have the greatest respect for those who serve and have served our country. CAP has universal qualities that people all over the world can relate to. “
Mackie’s post on social media came in response to the wave of counter -reaction which he received after a performance in Rome. While promoting the “Brave New World”, the actor commented“For me, Captain America represents many different things and I don’t think the term” America “should be one of these representations. It is about a man who keeps his word, who has the honor and dignity and integrity. Someone who is reliable and reliable. “
Many online took problems with their comment and perceived it as both an expression of anti-American feeling and a failure on Mackie’s side to respect the origin of the Military and World War for the Captain America character. However, it is worth noting that Mackie, at the same event in Rome, equalized to play the lead role in “Captain America: Brave New World” to a “dream come true.”
The new movie is the second MCU project Mackie’s Sam Wilson has led since taking over the Captain America title from Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) at the end of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.” “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, the 2021 series, which also contained Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) as his co-leading, captured Wilson in the wake of his superhero marketing and explored the challenging complexity of a black man which he chose to donate the symbol for a country with such a disturbing a racial story as America.
“Captain America: Brave New World” seems to be further interrogating his hero’s relationship with his country when it pits him against MCU’s newly elected president, Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford).
“Captain America: Brave New World” meets theaters Feb 14.
