Sure, he loves his country so much he wants to change it into something completely different, something akin to a communist hell-hole.
Won’t be getting a nickel of my money.

Not “re-interpretation,” “revisionism.” Can’t have a feller be too proud of the racist, imperialist United States in these days of liberal Hollywood enlightenment, can we?
Maybe they should call him Captain Islam instead.
Or Captain AmeriKKKa.
Won’t be seeing this trash.
I won't be seeing it.
Should the title be “Captian FU America”?
“It’s about what makes America great and what make the rest of the world great too.”
Gee, we’re all one big happy global family, aren’t we? No good people. No evil people, just misguided ones. Everything is relative, depending on your perspective. No right and wrong, in the traditional sense. All societies are equal to all others.
What a load of crap.
I wish these guys would leave our American icons alone, and invent new ones if they want to make a statement. All we seem to get these days are recycled themes from the past, but reinvented to be PC. Excuse me while I retch.
Same with the new GI Joe movie.
Rather than being an American fighting force, they were a Brussels based International agency.
Even the new Superman ditched the “American way” slogan.
Raping my childhood once again.
“Johnston has been hard at work on the London set of the film...”
Such an American production that they have to ditch the California labor unions and shoot in jolly old England.
"He wants to serve his country, but he's not this sort of jingoistic American flag-waver," Johnston said.

If America is NOT number one, show me which nation is better.
Some pundits will pounce on all of this as another desecration of an American touchstone, but how many of them have ever read the books? The character, created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, was certainly unconflicted about his country and its mission during the clear-cut days of the 1940s, but it didn't always stay that way. In late 1974, for instance, in the months after President Nixon's resignation, Steve Rogers chucked the star-spangled costume and changed his hero name to Nomad (although, by 1976, Cap and original artist Kirby had the hero in bicentennial mode).
Yes and the liberals at Marvel Comics recently had Captain America and the Falcon criticizing the "antigovernment" "racist" teabaggers (huh huh, guffaw).
In 2007, Brubaker told the New York Daily News: "What I found is that all the really hard-core left-wing fans want Cap to be standing out on -- and giving speeches on -- the street corner against the George W. Bush administration, and all the really right-wing fans want him to be over in the streets of Baghdad, punching out Saddam Hussein."
The Left wants Crap Americant to spit on the nation's leadership and spout Code Pinko propaganda.
The "Right" (or traditionalists) wanted Captain America, 70 year published character, to engage in a fantasy skirmish with a tyrannical dictator.
People in the comics industry are generally a bit to the left of Saul Alinsky and Karl Marx...
Marvel Studios put itself on the map with two "Iron Man" films that racked up a combined $1.19 billion in box office and almost half of that business ($571 million) was beyond the U.S. and Canada.
More Hollyweird revisionism to appease foreign markets. Hollywood in the 1930s shelved content that was critical of Hitler and Nazi Germany.
This is not a good business model or an ethical decision.
Hollyweird is casting their lot in the foreign markets.
Recall that Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 was distributed and promoted in Lebanon by a terrorist network (recognized as such by our government).
"You" sold us out. No wonder you don't want Crap Americant waving a flag.
For Johnston, the imperative is an artistic one, not a commercial one. He wants a character that's more complicated than a flag, and a movie that entertains without borders. "Yeah, and it's also the idea that this is not about America so much as it is about the spirit of doing the right thing," the director said. "It's an international cast and an international story. It's about what makes America great and what make the rest of the world great too."
[Time Masheen starts] "We're gonna take you back, to the year 1939 when Charlie Chaplin and his nazi regime enslaved Europe and tried to take over the world... ...But then an even greater force emerged, the "Un"! And the "UN" un-nazied the world - forever." < /idiocracy >
This is going to suck just like “G.I. Joe”.
