Marvel Redefines Sabra for 'Captain America: Brave New World'

The character's Israeli roots remain, but her backstory and abilities have been significantly altered to fit the MCU's narrative.

Sabra, played by Shira Haas, will debut in 'Captain America: Brave New World' as a U.S. government agent rather than a Mossad operative as in the comics.
Producer Nate Moore confirmed that Sabra is no longer a mutant and instead has a backstory tied to the Black Widow program's Red Room mythology.
The changes were made to better integrate the character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not in response to political backlash surrounding her inclusion.
Sabra's role involves working under President Thaddeus Ross, creating narrative tension with Sam Wilson's Captain America due to differing perspectives on Ross's leadership.
'Captain America: Brave New World,' directed by Julius Onah, is set to release in theaters on February 14, 2025.
