Anthony Mackie Urges Fans to Keep Politics Out of 'Captain America: Brave New World

The actor, stepping into the Captain America role, addresses political comparisons and reflects on the pressures of playing the iconic character.

Anthony Mackie criticized fans for comparing the Red Hulk character to Donald Trump, urging audiences to 'chill the f*** out' and leave politics out of the film.
Mackie emphasized that 'Captain America: Brave New World' is meant to be a fun and engaging Marvel movie, not a political statement.
The actor faced backlash for comments suggesting Captain America does not necessarily represent America, later clarifying that he is a 'proud American.'
Mackie discussed the mental and public pressures of playing Captain America, describing the role as carrying significant expectations and visibility.
The upcoming film, releasing in February, features Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus Ross, who transforms into the Red Hulk, with Mackie promising it will exceed fan expectations while staying true to the Marvel formula.
