Anthony Mackie Walks Back Comments on Captain America but Stops Short of Saying He Represents America
That Park Place ^ | 1-29-25 | M. Montanaro

This follows his original comments made in Italy, where he insisted before a European audience, “Captain America represents a lot of different things and I don’t think the term ‘America’ should be one of those representations.” He went on to say, “It’s about a man who keeps his word, who has honor, dignity, and integrity.”

Another “artiste” is about to learn that he’s actually a ticket salesman. And a bad one.

back in the day, the movie production houses would keep the reins on the talent.

One example of bad-mouthing a movie that didn't work was JAWS. Richard Dreyfus went on several talk shows and stated he thought the movie was going to be a mess. A movie that should've wrapped after 45 days took over 150, so it's easy to see how someone could become so disenchanted with the project. Boy, am I glad Dreyfus was wrong! (He didn't mind reveling in the acclaim that came with the adulation and fandom the movie created.) JAWS is a genuine classic.

As for this new guy trashing the Captain America character, well, I know one place I won't be spending my money.

“Why do grownups watch comic book movies, anyway?”

i always assumed that most of the folks still going to those kinds of movies were teens on dates and pre-teens ...

When they made the first Captain America movie, they were worried how it would play in other countries. They tiptoed around it even then, but didn’t say it out loud.

Yeah, not the best thing for a seriously over budget movie, but maybe it will help foreign ticket sales...

Handi-man was hilarious. Even back then, I couldn’t believe something like that would make it to TV.
