  • Now we meet the fourth installment of the Captain America films. Marvel announced that the film arrives in theaters in May 2024. Captain America: New World is directed by Julius Onah with the productions of Marvel Studios, while Dalan Musson and Malcolm Spellman penned the script. This would follow the newest ‘Cap’ in Sam Wilson, portrayed by Anthony Mackie, aka The Falcon in the earlier Avengers films.
  • The upcoming film joins Phase 5 of the cinematic universe. Alongside Anthony Mackie, the cast presented during the D23 Expo includes Tim Blake Nelson as The Leader, and Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley. Meanwhile, Shira Haas makes her MCU debut as superhero Sabra, and Danny Ramirez portrays The Falcon. While we were on the subject of the casting, a controversy aired some negative comments from the public and the fans.

The controversy

We mentioned a controversy earlier and this involves the newest female superhero in the MCU, Sabra. The character, Israeli heroine, Sabra was first seen in the Hulk comics many years ago and now debuts in 2024.

  • You might start asking what is the problem with Sabra’s character. It receives a lot of criticism because apparently, the character’s name sounds offensive considering the Sabra and Shatila Massacre back in 1982. The unfortunate event where the Israeli forces took away 3,500 lives of Palestinian and Lebanese citizens.

  • There are few netizens who commented about Marvel using the name Sabra as it meant Jews who were born in the region. Additionally, the Hulk comics where the female character appeared was released in 1980, a year or two prior to the massacre.

  • As we have been going around social media, specifically Twitter, there are more fans who are displeased with this decision. Also, there were a few netizens bringing up the film’s title as it’s similar to the anti-semitic conspiracy theory, New World Order. What makes this controversial is that the villain, the returning character after 14 years, Nelson is Jewish.
