Anthony Mackie Clarifies His Viral Captain America Comment: “I’m a Proud American”
The actor turned heads when he previously said, "To me Captain America represents a lot of different things and I don’t think the term ‘America’ should be one of those representations."
Marvel’s Italian social media account posted clips of the actor’s interview, but cut the sentence about the superhero not representing America. Brave New World is Marvel’s first Captain America film after Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers passed the torch to Mackie’s Sam Wilson at the end of Avengers: Endgame in 2019. In between, Mackie’s Disney+ show The Falcon and the Winter Soldier premiered in 2021, and grappled with the complicated notion of what it meant for a Black man to don the mantle of Captain America.
