Anthony Mackie is starring in a new film that brings patriotism into the spotlight. “Captain America: Brave New World” was written and filmed long prior to the 2024 election, but that hasn’t stopped people from suggesting the movie is about the current political climate in the United States. During an interview with Esquire, Mackie talked about Harrison Ford portraying Red Hulk/Thaddeus Ross, who plays the president in the new movie. Mackie responded to speculation his costar’s character is somehow tied to President Donald Trump. “I hope, as a country, we’re tired of all the political jousting,” Mackie said. “Let’s just go to the movies and chill the f**k out. We could’ve made this motherf***er yellow and it would’ve been a problem.” Ford has also addressed the topic. “I would not taint any movie with the reality of the world we’re living in right now,” Ford reportedly told AFP while on the red carpet for the Los Angles world premiere of “Brave New World.”
