CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD: New Character Details Emerge As Sabra Confirmed To Lose Her Codename

Some new Captain America: Brave New World details have been revealed, including plans for the MCU's first Super Soldier, Isaiah Bradley, to don a costume and the fact Sabra won't use her divisive codename.

By JoshWilding - Jul 13, 2024 01:07 PM EST

Captain America: Brave New World has dominated headlines for months thanks to pretty extensive-sounding reshoots and some wild claims about the movie's massive budget (which have since been debunked). 

The teaser trailer arrived yesterday and includes plenty of talking points; however, one of the biggest has been the inclusion of Shira Haas'  Ruth Bat-Seraph, a character better known in the comics as Sabra. 

She's long been considered problematic, dating back to her debut in the pages of The Incredible Hulk in 1980. At the time, Ruth was frequently portrayed fighting Arabic terrorist tropes, while the "Sabra" name has several meanings, some of which are now considered offensive. 

Then, there's the fact that both pro and anti-Israel parties have issues with the character, a headache for Disney given current world events! 

We told you yesterday that Marvel Studios is changing Sabra's backstory so that she's now a former Black Widow turned U.S. official, and The Hollywood Reporter now brings word that the "Sabra" codename will not be used in any way, shape, or form in Captain America: Brave New World

In other news, The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez brings word that Shogun star Takehiro Hira is playing the Prime Minister of Japan in the movie. 

He also reveals that Isaiah Bradley will wear a costume which pays homage to his comic book counterpart. We'd bet on it being a makeshift uniform he creates and, if Marvel Studios plans to follow the comics, that may be what inspires his grandson Eli to become Patriot! 

Let us know your thoughts on these latest Captain America: Brave New World details in the comments section.

After meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.

Captain America: Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Xosha Roquemore, Carl Lumbly, with Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, Tim Blake Nelson, and Harrison Ford.

The movie is directed by Julius Onah and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore. Louis D’Esposito and Charles Newirth serve as executive producers.

Captain America: Brave New World opens in U.S. theaters on February 14, 2025.

We need an Isaiah Bradley Captain America film set in the Korean War. It would be epic.

@JobinJ - i dont hate Mackie but I think I would have rather seen that over falcon america

@JobinJ - do we know how long his Captain America has operated? Because I kinda wanna see him interact with characters like Red Guardian, Ant-Man, Howard Stark and a bunch of others that ran around in the 60s-80s

mountainman - 7/13/2024, 2:28 PM
@bkmeijer1 - The 50s would have likely been his most active times but I agree that it should be set later to incorporate other characters who weren’t active until at least the 70s. The Cold War lasted for a long time so I feel like there is a lot to do in that era. Young Hank and Janet at least!

@bkmeijer1 - In the comics think is was around the 40's (he was certainly in jail between 1943 thru to being pardoned in 1960) but don't think it has been stated with the MCU version.

As Lumbly is 72 I would guess they will go for him getting the serum at least 50yrs ago as likely to pick test subjects in their early 20's but if it slows ageing then could easily be way earlier than that...

...the actor who play Eli is 21 and his Dad would probably have been concieved prior to Gramps getting the serum which again suggests it was about 50yrs ago not back in the 60's...

...as such I'd say they may connect it to somewhere towards the end of the Vietnam War.

@Matchesz - Falcon American is just not interesting. Mackie can't carry a movie. Sorry.

JobinJ - 7/13/2024, 3:31 PM
@bkmeijer1 - I don't think there was a Cap in the MCU after Isaiah in the Korean War. We surely would have known about him. So no, I don't think there was.

Red Guardian was lying about fighting him, I think.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 7/13/2024, 3:42 PM
@JobinJ - Red Guardian came across as the sort to fabricate...

...although not impossible the the US government had a non-Super Serum guy decked out as a sort of patriotic mascot during the Korean war or part of propoganda to make the enemy think a legendary Supe was being sent in against them...

...I mean just cos something has never been mentioned doesn't mean it never occured...

...but most likely Alexei was lying and TBH can't recall if Bradley stated when and where he saw combat as a super soldier.
JobinJ
JobinJ - 7/13/2024, 3:44 PM
@Apophis71 - he was in The Korean War only then Sent to prison. He explains that in FATWS
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 7/13/2024, 3:45 PM
@JobinJ - @bkmeijer1 - Figured I'd go check...

...Isaiah Bradley is a Korean War veteran who was unwillingly subjected to human testings of the Super Soldier Serum in the 1950s. A survivor of the trials, he was assigned by the United States military to eliminate Winter Soldier in South Korea, although he failed. When the government feared the ramifications of an African-American super soldier, Bradley spent three decades incarcerated in prison, during which he was experimented on by the U.S. government and HYDRA. In the 1980s, he was freed and was relocated to Baltimore after his death was faked, during which he raised a grandson. In 2024, when Sam Wilson became the new Captain America, Bradley's heroics were memorialized at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

@JobinJ @Apophis71 - maybe the USA put Isaiah on ice the same way the Russians did with the Winter Soldier?

Either way, I do wanna see a project focused on Cold War Avengers, and not the What If kind. Howard, Peggy, Ant-Man, Wasp, Goliath, Thor, a Black Panther & Isaiah's Captain teaming up against the Winter Soldier & Red Guardian in the Sacred Timeline around 1970 would be so cool.

@JobinJ - That's entirely too smart for current MCU. We need something far less interesting.

Apophis71 - 7/14/2024, 7:27 AM
@bkmeijer1 - It would and whatever the current history is when the universe gets a reboot with a couple timelines merged it could be possible some aspects of the past are changed such as Isaiah Bradley not having been jailed meaning he was still active in the 60's and 80's.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 7/14/2024, 7:52 AM
@Apophis71 - I kinda doubt they reboot the history of the MCU. It's too unique of a history to just flush away.

If there is gonna be a reboot, I'm guessing it's only a few multiverse heroes entering the Sacred Timeline.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 7/14/2024, 8:15 AM
@bkmeijer1 - Doubt it too TBH, certainly most the established major stuff that has occured in the MCU will remain canon.

However I could see them changing low impact stuff like that window between Steve going into the ice and Captain Marvel's first film so that the merged in characters like a new Wolverine have history without it being considered a plothole it wasn't know prior or contradicts any established canon.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 7/14/2024, 9:37 AM
@Apophis71 - in case of minor continuity discrepancies, I could see them pull the same trick as in the Official Timeline Book. There they play it like the TVA/Miss Minutes is just an unreliable narrator, so any error isn't actually an error at all.

It's good that they're cutting the genocidal zionist character out of the movie/reworking her. While the studios are all ran by zionists that support Israel, they must realize that their agenda is unpopular with the majority of the world and featuring a supposed good guy character that represents this genocidal & supremacist worldview would only hurt their ability to profit off of the rest of the world with this movie as it could lead to even more boycotts.

That being said, a Captain America movie without Captain America (everyone knows Steve Rogers is Captain America/white) is a terrible idea, so is doing the red Hulk without the Hulk to fight him.

This looks like a made for TV movie... which is where I will be watching it when it releases.

HermanM - 7/13/2024, 3:46 PM
@jratz - The Palestinians are being genocided by the most powerful group in the world who are using their atrocity propaganda from WW2 to justify genociding the Arabs now. Israel does not allow Palestine to have a formal military and labels any defense of Palestine against their bombings as terrorism.

The truth is that Israel is in fact a global terrorist state and was founded off of terrorism, with the jewish terrorist groups Irgun and Hagana bombing the King David Hotel to terrorize the British and get them to leave Palestine, since the British acted as a mediating peace keeping force, and Israel wanted to continue bombing the Palestinians unhindered, like they've done for tye past 80 years.

@HermanM - "Israel does not allow Palestine to have a formal military ...." Well, there is no Palestine. If you meant residents of Gaza, uh, not a good idea to let them have a "formal military." It's like giving a child an RPG.

"The truth is that Israel is in fact a global terrorist state and was founded off of terrorism ...." False. Israel became a state pursuant to a United Nations resolution that would divide Great Britain's former Palestinian mandate into Jewish and Arab states in May 1948. Israel is the only democratic state in the entire Middle East that gives women and minorities, including Arab residents of Israel, LGBTQ, etc, the same rights as Jewish Israelis. The Arabs of the region decided to disrepect the UN resolution and sided with Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon in an effort to obliterate Israel. Their war against Israel failed. Miserably, time and again. Maybe your friends in Gaza and the West Bank can be a bit more constructive instead of destructive and then they would get their state. But, they won't -- it's not in their nature to be tolerant of those that are not like them. And, as such, there will never be a Palestinian state. The End.

@GeneralZod - If there is no Palestine, then what did the British occupy on behalf of the jewish Rothchilds that they turned into Israel?

What's the Balfour Declaration partitioning for the jews?

User Comment Image

Oh yes, that's right: Palestine.

It is a real place and the jews even acknowledged that it is a real place, even though now the media likes to pretend that such a place never existed because if you deny that a people exists then it is easier to dehumanize and genocide them.

As for Palestinians behaving like children if they were given weapons, that is total nonsense. All they want is to defend themselves from the genocidal supremacist squatters that have been on their land killing them since the 1800s and especially since 1947.

If you want to see cavemen with machine gun type behavior, look no further than Israel. They have a technological super state with state of the art precision weapons and technology given to them from America where they can pinpoint a guy's head from space and assassinate him, but instead bomb entire chunks of civilian residential neighborhoods at a time indiscriminately.

https://www.972mag.com/israeli-soldiers-gaza-firing-regulations/

Or, perhaps you haven't heard of the Israeli torture camps, where they have over 100,000 Palestinians detained and are brutally torturing them through sodomy:

https://thecradle.co/articles/ben-gvir-calls-for-execution-of-palestinian-prisoners-with-shot-in-the-head

Not to mention Israel's brutal treatment of Christians who are anything other than tourists there to give them money:

https://thecradle.co/articles/christians-in-occupied-jerusalem-see-marked-surge-in-israeli-settler-attacks

Here is Palestine before the genocidal jewish occupation forces squatted on the land and took it over, murdering the rightful inhabitants:







Far from a land without people or a land full of savages who perform human sacrifice and cut each other's hearts out (like the aztecs and mayans), Palestine was of the great Ottoman Empire.

The United Nations is not some impartial body... it is a global comment box that is literally on American soil in New York City, dominated by the zionist powers that won WW2. If they cared about neutrality, it would be set up in a neutral country, but instead it is in the heart of zionist world power, NYC, the home of Wall Street and zionist capitalism that would go on to establish Israel. In short, they have no right to use the armies of other nations that they control via finance, like Britain, to dominate other nations on their behalf, like they did with Palestine.

Israel was founded on terrorism, which is all the British recieved from the zionists in exchange for their loyal service: terrorist attacks that killed 90 people, carried out by jewish terrorist groups Irgun and Hagana to drive the British out of Palestine since they served as a mediating force between the jews and the defenseless Arab population that they wished to dominate and destroy and have been doing so in earnest since 1947.

The jews even made Menachem Begin, one of the jewish terrorists who masterminded the attacks, into their 6th Prime Minister of Israel:

This guy founded the Likud Party, one of the most genocidal and supremacist zionist groups that has ties to the Trump and Biden administrations. They literally believe that anyone outside of their ethnic tribe are not even human. And that carries through in their attitude towards the powerless Palestinians:

As for the claims of Israel being a "democracy" that "respects the rights of its minorities," this is also not true. Israel is a supremacist ethnostate created by, for, and ran by jews. The minority of non jews that exist there as serfs or otherwise have zero institutional support or power, Israel is a majority jewish zone where their will is carried out. It is not a diverse heterogeneous nation where the minorities are empowered to exercise power over the rest of the nation like western so called "democracies."

Iran is an actual secular democracy, where the will of the people is carried out and reflected in its leadership, but that does not stop Israel and its puppet dupe collaborator states where it grows its soldiers like the US and EU from attempting to do war/regime change against Iran, does it?

The only place considered a "democracy" by zionists are places where zionist powers dominate.

As for LGBTQP and feminism, I do not support either of those things, and agree with Iran and the Palestinians regarding them. Tel Aviv is a modern day Sodom & Gomorrah and not an example for any healthy nation to emulate.

"General Zod"....? You're more like General ZOG. You sound just like Itamar Ben-Givir, who idolized jewish mass murderer Baruch Goldstein, who shot 150 unarmed Palestinians at a mosque, killing 29, in 1994.



Israel's Minister Of Defense, Itamar Ben-Givir, idolizes this guy.

@GeneralZod - Iran is quite moderate.

Compare that to Saudi Arabia, who are allies of Israel because they're paid to like them by the zionist controlled United States. Saudi Arabia does the full suits for women where just the eyes are exposed while Iran does not. But they're allies to jews...so that's okay to you.

You fit right in with Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein and the other zionist mossad assets:



who are more oppressive to women than Palestine/Iran and any other normal palestinian Muslim or Christian could ever be...
