Marvel Studios’ upcoming film Captain America: Brave New World stars Anthony Mackie as the iconic superhero alongside Harrison Ford as U.S. President Thaddeus Ross. The first trailer has generated buzz among fans, but controversy surrounds a supporting character, Ruth Bat-Seraph, portrayed by Shira Haas. Ruth, originally known as Sabra in the comics, was an Israeli Mossad agent. However, backlash has arisen due to her changed allegiance to a U.S. agency in the film. Some pro-Israel groups criticize the shift, while anti-Israel groups protest her Israeli roots. The character’s backstory has been updated in response to criticism of the original comic’s racism and glorification of Mossad. Marvel’s decision to change the character reflects a trend of modernizing comic book characters. While the controversy continues to escalate, Marvel remains silent on the issue. The debate surrounding Ruth/Sabra highlights the complexities of adapting traditional comic book characters for today’s audiences.
