Anthony Mackie plays the lead role in a new film that brings patriotism into the limelight.

“Captain America: Brave New World” was written and filmed long before the 2024 election, but it has not prevented people from suggesting that the film is about the current political climate in the United States.

During an interview with Esquire, Mackie talked about Harrison Ford, who portrayed Red Hulk/Thaddeus Ross, who plays the president of the new film. Mackie replied to speculation that his Costar’s character is somehow tied to President Donald Trump.

“I hope we as a country are tired of all the political jousting,” Mackie said. “Let’s just go to the movies and relax f ** k out. We could have made this morbing yellow and that would have been a problem. ”

Ford has also dealt with the subject.

“I would not smash any films with the reality of the world we are living in right now,” Ford Reportedly told AFP While he was on the red carpet to Los Angle’s world premiere of “Brave New World.”

In an interview with Israel HayomFord said, “This is not a movie about a good or bad president, but in this film the president is part of the story.”

“This is not a instruction manual for the current president,” he said. “It’s simply a story about a group of people in tight suits who can fly, as part of the wonderful imagination that Marvel Cinematic Universe delivers. It is primarily an escape from reality. ”

This is Mackie’s first solo outing as Captain America, a role his character Sam Wilson took over after it was previously played by Chris Evans until the end of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.”
