The Daily Wire reports that during a press tour for Captain America: Brave New World, Anthony Mackie, who's now taking over the role from Chris Evans in a way almost identical to the social justice pandering Marvel's been doing for a decade now, made statements that only confirm and compound how woke this "sequel" will be:

Marvel actor Anthony Mackie said during a recent appearance that he did not believe that “the term America” was one of the things that was represented in the superhero Captain America.

Mackie, whose Sam Wilson character steps into the role of the titular hero in “Captain America: Brave New World,” made the comments while doing press for the latest Disney/Marvel venture in Rome. The role was previously played by actor Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. “For me, Captain America represents a lot of different things and I don’t think the term ‘America’ should be one of those representations. It’s about a man who keeps his word, who has honor, dignity, and integrity. Someone who is trustworthy and dependable,” Mackie said. “This is kind of like an aspect of a dream coming true. You know, when I was a kid … all of us as actors, I believe, want to get back to that day before someone told you no.”

That's awfully rich coming from somebody who's not arguing the entertainment industry should emphasize foreign nationalities and cultures like Kenya, France, Portugal, Armenia and Argentina. What Mackie implies is that he doesn't consider the USA's residents worthy of representation on anything. That aside, I don't expect a character like Sabra to come off well if this is what Mackie's going to espouse. His declaration was panned, and here's one example:

“I don’t know if this guy hates America or not, but I do know that he feels compelled to say so because that’s what the anti-America left wants to hear. Pathetic, mindless, leftist virtue signaling. This crap is on its way out, only some folks haven’t figured it out yet,” author Tim Murtaugh added.

Regrettably, Disney, as the undeserving owner of Marvel products today, hasn't gotten the message, or maybe they'd have instructed their contributors to avoid making divisive statements. John Nolte responded:

Due to extensive reshoots, Captain America: Brave New World’s budget is reported to have hit something like $400 million. The sequel hits theaters in about two weeks and arrives after Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels tanked. Nevertheless, here is America’s new Captain America, Anthony Mackie, making it clear that he does not believe that a character named Captain America who is also a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, should represent America.

[...] You can hear the disdain in Mackie’s voice when he says, “the term America,” and then he goes on to list a number of virtues as though they are not American virtues.

If Captain America doesn’t represent America, why is he called Captain America, or is that now his dead name?

If he doesn’t represent America, why the red, white, and blue uniform?

What’s next? Black Panther doesn’t represent black people? Ant-Man and Aunt May don’t represent ants? X-Men don’t represent Twitter?

I don’t blame Mackie for this. He’s an actor. Obviously, no one explained to him what drives and motivates Captain America because the Marvel-Disney people similarly believe Captain America should not represent America. The reason for this is simple: Marvel and Disney and Anthony Mackie hate America and Americans and see themselves as above America and Americans.

To them, America is a joke, Americans are rubes. They especially hate how our “superstitious” beliefs in things like rugged individualism, individual liberty, that all countries (including America), should put their country first, and basic moral decency, all get in the way of their globalist designs and degenerate desire to sexualize our children.

And then we have the gall to not buy tickets to their grooming movies or subscribe to their grooming streaming services. That’s what really makes them angry: we dare to disagree with them. We refuse to worship them. We hide our children from them. Above all, we criticize, mock, and ridicule them.

I'm sure Mackie never read the old comics from the Golden Age till the early 2000s, nor has he any interest in doing so. All that aside, it's beyond laughable at this point how the Falcon, instead of being emphasized as what he was created as, a guy with wings, which is certainly great, is being shoehorned into a different role, which only proves the writers are totally bankrupt and lack confidence in themselves to sell a story according to merit. And, despite any suggestions to the contrary, they once again expect everybody to care about the costume instead of the character.

It's quite possible to promote values like altruism, honor and decency without dragging anti-Americanism into the mess Mackie and Disney/Marvel have made. Unfortunately, those don't seem to be their values at all, which could partly explain why the virtue-signaling direction was taken. With a budget that big, we can only hope the new film tanks. All they're doing is make one wonder if these live action movies were worth it to start with.
