Anthony Mackie, star of Captain America: Brave New World, is clueless about the decision to change the movie's title. Despite playing Sam Wilson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for ten years, Mackie expressed his lack of knowledge regarding the renaming of Captain America 4. The actor revealed his surprise upon discovering the new title, Captain America: Brave New World, and his casual response to the news.
I have no idea. They were like, ‘We’re changing the title.’ I was like, ‘All right, let’s do it.’ So that was it.
Why Captain America 4's Title Changed
Mackie took to Instagram to reveal the new title, Brave New World, for Captain America 4. In his post, he also shared an exciting first look image featuring himself and the iconic actor Harrison Ford, who will be portraying the new Thunderbolt Ross in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios has kept the reasons behind the name change under wraps, leaving fans curious and eager for more details.
Marvel has not offered an official explanation for the change in title from Captain America: New World Order to Captain America: Brave New World. However, it is likely that the decision stems from a real-world factor associated with Captain America 4. Marvel Studios would not simply alter the film's title during production unless there was an issue with the original one.
In a conspiracy theory, some people believe that a secret group of elitists will join forces to establish a totalitarian regime that will eventually dominate the entire world, reaching every nation. This hypothetical global government is called the New World Order, which aligns directly with the original title of Captain America 4. Considering that the movie revolves around a highly political character and involves Sam Wilson collaborating with the President of the United States, Ross, it was deemed best to avoid any potential connections to real-world implications by opting for the title Captain America: Brave New World.
