Anthony Mackie explains controversial Captain America comment after backlash

by

Anthony Mackie clarified his remarks regarding Captain America that stirred up some discussion on social media lately.

Attending the Disney event in Rome for the upcoming “Captain America: Brave New World,” I expressed my perspective: “For me, Captain America symbolizes multiple ideals, and I believe that the concept of ‘America’ should not be among them.

The text is about a person who consistently fulfills their promises, possesses nobility, respect, and honesty. This individual can be relied upon and is always reliable.

Online, various videos capturing a particular event (usually without a direct question posed) have been circulating widely. In light of the ensuing discussion, Mackie has provided further insight into his original statement to clear up any confusion.

In my own words, “I’ve got to make something clear – I’m super-proud to be an American and being given the chance to embody a legendary hero like Captain America is the ultimate honor.” (Posted on my Instagram Stories)

I hold great admiration for individuals who protect and uphold our nation. Notably, Core Values (CAP) share traits that resonate with people globally.

After “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” it’s evident that Sam Wilson, portrayed by Mackie, has embraced the title of Captain America. Similar to his forerunner Steve Rogers, Sam grapples with tension in his interactions with authority figures.

In this scenario, it’s President Ross who finds himself under attack from some fresh antagonists, among them Giancarlo Esposito, known for his roles in “Better Call Saul” and “The Mandalorian”. The situation becomes increasingly intricate when President Ross undergoes a transformation into the Red Hulk.

Despite not appearing in the trailers thus far, it’s been confirmed that one of the villains isn’t actually making its debut. On the contrary, it’s reprising its role from one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s initial movies.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! The latest installment in the Captain America saga, “Captain America: Brave New World,” hits the big screen on Valentine’s Day 2025. And if you haven’t had the chance to catch up yet, no worries! You can stream the first three Captain America movies and “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” series on Disney+ right now!
