Anthony Mackie, known for his role as Captain America in Marvel's upcoming film "Captain America: Brave New World," has sparked discussion with his recent comments regarding political comparisons. In an interview with Esquire, Mackie addressed rumors about the character Red Hulk, played by Harrison Ford, being linked to former President Donald Trump.
Mackie advised fans against making such connections, stating, “I hope, as a country, we’re tired of all the political jousting. Let’s just go to the movies and chill the f*** out. We could’ve made this mother****** yellow and it would’ve been a problem.”
These remarks have drawn attention on social media and from various news outlets. FOX News highlighted Mackie's comments underlining his stance against associating fictional characters with real-life political figures.
Despite his intention to steer clear of political discourse, some commentators argue that Mackie's statements may not be well-received by certain audiences. The actor's approach has also prompted reactions from public figures like Megyn Kelly.
The controversy surrounding Mackie's remarks adds to the challenges faced by Disney-Marvel's latest production. Reports suggest that "Captain America: Brave New World" has encountered difficulties during its development phase.
