Captain America: Brave New World - Major Character Change Revealed

The Israeli super-soldier Sabra is set to make her MCU debut in Captain America: Brave New World, and Marvel has confirmed a significant change to her character.

In the comics, Sabra is a powerful mutant who serves as an agent of the Israeli secret service. However, in the MCU, she will be portrayed as a non-mutant, instead gaining her powers from the Super-Soldier Serum.

This change is likely due to Marvel's desire to avoid controversy. Sabra's Israeli heritage has been a source of criticism in the past, with some accusing the character of being a propaganda tool for the Israeli government. By removing her mutant status, Marvel can downplay her association with Israel and make her more palatable to a wider audience.

Whether or not this change will be well-received by fans remains to be seen. However, it is clear that Marvel is taking a cautious approach with Sabra's introduction to the MCU. The studio is likely hoping to avoid any potential backlash that could damage the film's box office performance.

Captain America: Brave New World is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 3, 2024.
