In the forthcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film titled “Captain America: New World Order“, the narrative centers around Anthony Mackie‘s character Sam Wilson assuming the role of Captain America. Lately, Mackie has faced significant criticism following a remark he made in Rome during promotional events for the movie. In response to the ensuing uproar, Mackie has issued a statement to clear up the misunderstanding stemming from his earlier comment.
Fans are divided over Mackie’s Captain America 4 comment
Speaking to the press in Rome, I, Anthony Mackie, shared my thoughts about Captain America. To me, this character isn’t just a symbol of ‘America’, but rather embodies qualities like truth, honor, dignity, and integrity. He’s someone you can count on, someone who keeps his word, and someone who stands for what’s right.
Mackie could have been discussing the universal attraction of Captain America and how the character embodies values cherished by all mankind. Yet, his statement sparked debate among online users who perceived the actor from Elevation as suggesting that Captain America shouldn’t symbolize the United States.
A user on the platform that was previously known as Twitter, under the username @BryceStorbakken, posed a question: “Why is his name Captain America and why does his costume and shield resemble the American flag?
User @Divine3rd expressed that Mackie’s perspective seemed unusual. They pointed out that Captain America embodies the values of freedom, justice, and righteousness, which are deeply connected with American ideals. Given his name and origin during World War II America, it seems unnecessary to attempt to disconnect these aspects from the character.
numerous individuals supported Mackie’s stance too. @MasterTainment asserted in their post that Mackie was absolutely correct. They further clarified that the Marvel Cinematic Universe Steve Rogers was not a “nationalist” but someone who detested bullies and cherished freedom and honesty. In conclusion, they referred to Captain America as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s embodiment of ‘Integrity Man.’
