Sabra in ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Is Still Israeli but ‘Not Mossad’ and ‘No Longer a Mutant,’ Producer Clarifies After Controversy
"Captain America: Brave New World" producer Nate Moore clarifies Sabra is Israeli amid controversy over the character's inclusion in the MCU.
The team behind “ Captain America: Brave New World ” recently opened up to The National about introducing Ruth Bat-Seraph (aka Sabra) into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a decision that sparked controversy when news broke in September 2022 that “Unorthodox” Emmy nominee Shira Haas was cast in the role. The character’s inclusion in the MCU raised concerns among Palestinians, although Marvel assured fans worldwide that Sabra would be “reworked” for the big screen. Sabra in the MCU is not a Mossad agent but a former Black Widow, and Moore stressed that reworking the character for “Captain America: Brave New World” had little to do with backlash and more to do with ensuring the superhero fit more seamlessly into the film universe that’s already been created.
