In a now-viral video, Mackie was heard saying, "To me, Captain America represents a lot of different things, and I don슬롯사이트™t think the term 슬롯사이트˜America슬롯사이트™ should be one of those representations.

Interestingly, Chris Evans expressed a similar sentiment while promoting his first appearance as Captain America in슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Captain America: The First Avenger슬롯 머신 사이트 추천in 2011.
what it meant for his character to be draped in the American flag, Evans said, "To me, I'm not trying to get too lost in the American side of it. This isn't a flag-waving movie. It is red, white, and blue, but it just so happens that the character was created in America during wartime, when there was a common enemy, even though it is Captain America. I've said before in interviews, it feels more like he should just be called Captain Good. You know, he was created at a time when there was this undeniable evil, and this guy was kind of created to fight that evil. I think everyone could agree that Nazis were bad, and he, Cap, just so happens to wear the red, white, and blue."
Even within the Marvel movies, Captain America has been portrayed as grappling with the idea of being hailed as an 'American' hero. He often resisted being portrayed as a government stooge. This struggle became more prominent in films like슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Captain America: The Winter Soldier - which marked Anthony Mackie슬롯사이트™s debut in the MCU as Sam Wilson - and슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Captain America: Civil War, where Cap rebelled against the notion of being a government yes-man.
