‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Trailer Divides Fans: Sam Wilson Gets Praise Sabra Gets Hate and Calls For Boycott

As a gamer with a deep love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I’m both excited and apprehensive about the new “Captain America: Brave New World” trailer. The footage showcases thrilling action sequences, the introduction of Red Hulk, and Sam Wilson stepping into the Captain America role. However, the controversy surrounding Sabra’s inclusion in the film has caused a significant divide among fans.


Yesterday saw the unveiling of the first sneak peek for “Captain America: Brave New World,” and the response has been highly varied among viewers. Marking Sam Wilson’s solo outing as Captain America, this film faced a challenging production process, featuring expensive and extensive reshoots throughout its development.

In the trailer, there were thrilling sequences showcased, including the reveal of Thunderbolt Ross as Red Hulk, a sneak peek of Captain America in his Falcon suit, and various other intriguing elements. Yet, many criticisms leveled against the film seem disconnected from the footage that was presented.

Enthusiasts are looking forward to seeing how the film will handle Sam Wilson’s non-enhanced persona and his encounter with Red Hulk. For quite some time, fans have expressed excitement about the prospect of Red Hulk being part of the storyline.

Man, I can’t stop thinking about that Captain America trailer.

Regarding the backlash: A significant portion of the criticism focuses on the representation of Sabra/Ruth in the film, played by Shira Hass. Many fans have announced their intention to avoid the movie due to the character’s origins as a comic book superheroine and Mossad agent. Sabra is an Israeli figure with extraordinary abilities such as increased strength, speed, agility, and senses, gained through genetic modifications. The source of controversy lies in her connection to Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency.

Members of the fan community have expressed their concerns about Sabra’s role in “Captain America” since her filming began several months ago. In the movie, Sabra is portrayed as a prominent government figure, enjoying President Ross’s confidence. Her background also unveils that she was once the Black Widow, as suggested in her short backstory.

Due to the persistent tension between Palestine and Israel, some moviegoers have voiced objections to her involvement in the film, as evidenced by these samples of criticism. A larger volume of similar sentiments can be found on the internet.

I cannot forgive them for casting a Black actor as the first Capamerica in a film that pairs him with a controversial and politically charged superhero character, given the current social climate.

As a passionate fan, I must admit that if I thought Marvel couldn’t surprise us with more controversy, I was wrong! In their latest Captain America production, they’ve introduced a new character – Captain Israel.

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement has urged for a boycott of Marvel Entertainment due to this decision.

Regrettably, certain remarks bring up a legitimate issue: Sabra’s controversy might overshadow Wilson’s impressive debut as Captain America in the film, causing fans to bombard it with negative reviews.
