Captain America actor Anthony Mackie has revealed he had one costume request for Marvel in Brave New World. As mentioned in an interview with IGN, Mackie asked to ditch the cowl first glimpsed during the series finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Anthony Mackie shared a statement on Instagram in response to those who criticized recent comments he made about the Captain America character in which he said, "Let me be clear about this, I'm a proud American and taking on the shield of a hero like CAP is the honor of a lifetime.

Mackie, who is taking over the role of Captain America from Chris Evans in the upcoming film, said that he doesn’t think the star-spangled superhero “represents” America.
