Anthony Mackie cleaned the air on a controversial Captain America comment for his upcoming film, Captain America: Brave New World, for which he recently got a backlash.
The Mackie was stuck in a storm of controversy when he was heard making a provocative statement about the legendary superhero at a preacher program in Italy. After the backlash began, Mackie tried to set the record directly through social media.
Mackie, who played Sam Wilson, aka Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before taking Steve Rogers Shield, took his statements on his Instagram to clarify his statements. “I must be clear about this: I am a proud American, and taking it on the shield of the hero like a cap is a lifetime respect,” Mackey said.
He said, “I have extreme respect for those who serve and serve our country. Cap has universal features that people around the world can be related.”
The actor added further to the subject, stating that Captain America is basically integral to reliableness, integrity, or honor that connects the rest of the world with values that people tell Americans.
Mackie had said in a clip going viral on social media earlier, “For me, Captain America represents a lot of different things and I do not think the word ‘America’ should be one of those representations. It is about a person who holds him.
Anthony Mackie first returned to the big screen in a stand-alone film of his character in Captain America: Brave New World, a premiere in theaters on 14 February 2025.
