As the release of “Captain America: Brave New World” with Anthony Mackie as the lead character draws near, the promotional gears are turning. During a stage event in Rome to promote the upcoming Disney film, Mackie was captured on video saying something that sparked widespread attention: “For me, Captain America symbolizes many things, and I don’t believe ‘America’ should be one of those symbols.” However, Anthony Mackie’s comment about Captain America might not be as straightforward as it appears.
The video sparked debate among viewers due to ambiguity regarding the initial question posed to the actor, as it was abruptly ended. However, what followed was a clear statement from him, where he said, “It’s about a man who keeps his word, who has honor, dignity, and integrity. Someone who is trustworthy and dependable,” Mackie added. The full context of his response, though, seemed to be missing from the clip.
In the latest movie, Mackie assumes the role previously held by Chris Evans (since 2019). During this time, a Disney+ series was also released, exploring the concept of a black individual embodying the title of Captain America.
As a movie critic, I wholeheartedly echo Anthony Mackie’s sentiments: It’s equally crucial for young Black audiences to witness a Black Captain America as it is for any other audience. My childhood hero was green, and that wasn’t about race but rather him embodying the virtues of being a good person striving to do what’s right.
In reality, Anthony Mackie’s statement about playing Captain America isn’t straightforward, but Mackie guarantees he will excel in the role just as Chris Evans did.
