Director Julius Onah of the movie “Captain America: Brave New World” has addressed the viral reactions following Anthony Mackie’s remarks about Captain America. In a recent statement, Mackie expressed that Captain America symbolizes various aspects, and he doesn’t believe ‘America’ should be one of those symbols. Instead, he described Captain America as a man who keeps his word, possesses honor, dignity, integrity, trustworthiness, and reliability. These comments sparked controversy among pro-America supporters, who perceived Mackie’s statements as anti-American. Mackie later clarified his remarks on social media, but Onah, the director of the movie, has now also shared his perspective on the matter.
Vanity Fair interviewed Julius Onah, director of “Captain America: Brave New World,” who shared his insights on the Anthony Mackie debate. Onah stated, “Sometimes things can be misunderstood,” and then continued, “As for my perspective, I approached this film with a unique viewpoint…the concept of unity, which I’ve witnessed in diverse ways during my time in the U.S. What particularly resonated was empathy, in my opinion, is Sam Wilson’s special ability. To me, that’s not just relevant but critically significant.
In Chris Evans’ initial portrayal of Steve Rogers in “Captain America: The First Avenger” (2011), he shared similar feelings towards Mackie, as evident in an interview with CBR at that time. When questioned about wearing the American flag for the movie, Evans showed a deep understanding of the character’s larger meaning and importance.
Evans emphasized, “I don’t want to delve too deeply into the American aspect.” He clarified, “This isn’t a movie meant to wave flags. It has elements of red, white, and blue, but coincidentally, the character was born in America during wartime when there was a shared adversary.
Evans clarified, “I’m not delving too deeply into the American aspect.” He added, “This film isn’t about waving flags. It has elements of red, white, and blue, but the character originated in America during a period of war, where there was a shared adversary.
The Disney+ series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” explored the aftermath of “Avengers: Endgame” and Steve Rogers handing over the Captain America title to his former partner, Sam Wilson (the Falcon). By the conclusion of the series, Sam embraced his new role as Captain America. Any doubts fans may have had about more instances of Sam hesitating about accepting this responsibility were alleviated by Onah’s confirmation.
“That question has been resolved,” Onah said. “Sam is our Captain America now. He’s our hero.”
Captain America: Brave New World opens in theaters on February 14th.
