Lead actor Anthony Mackie, the first Black Captain America, faced backlash for saying the hero represents “honour, dignity, and integrity” rather than just America. The film, directed by Julius Onah, follows Mackie’s Captain alongside a conflicted President Ross (Harrison Ford) navigating global tensions.
With a diverse cast and a message of shared responsibility, the movie has drawn criticism from right-wing circles but remains true to the franchise’s historical roots. Marvel hopes it will be a much-needed box office success.
