Anthony Mackie, during an interview about his upcoming movie “Captain America: Brave New World,” emphasized that Captain America symbolizes more than just being American. He believes that this character embodies principles such as keeping one’s word, honor, dignity, integrity, trustworthiness, and reliability, rather than representing the term ‘America’ itself. Some viewers interpreted this statement as a criticism of the United States, but Mackie may have been making a point about the universal values Captain America represents, appealing to audiences around the world.
The comments mirror the sentiments expressed by Chris Evans in 2011 during his promotion for Captain America: The First Avenger. In an interview with CBM, he stated, “I’m not overly focused on the American aspect.” He has previously mentioned that Captain America might as well be called Captain Good. This character was created at a time when there was an overwhelming evil, and this man was essentially designed to combat it. It can be agreed by all that Nazis were wicked.
Following Mackie’s comments becoming widely shared online, he clarified his stance on Instagram Stories. He stated, “I want to make this clear: I am deeply proud to be an American, and it is an incredible privilege to portray a hero like Captain America. My admiration for those who serve or have served our nation knows no bounds. Captain America represents values that resonate with people worldwide, particularly his fight against fascism.” In essence, Mackie expresses his appreciation for the military, while also highlighting how the character of Captain America, famous for battling Nazis, is universally relatable.
