Captain America’s Super-Suit: Room for Adjustment<\/strong><\/p>\n

When playing a well-established superhero, certain parts of the super-suit are set in stone. However, while the shield is always going to be part of Captain America’s get-up, there’s some wiggle room for parts of the costume that the star wearing it can say "Absolutely not" to.<\/p>\n

In the case of Captain America: Brave New World<\/strong>, Anthony Mackie, the actor playing the role, had a specific request that was not an arbitrary one. Mackie had worn the offending suit for the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/strong> and was not about to don it again for the big screen. His exact words, as reported in IGN’s interview, were "I told them I was never wearing that st again, dude," specifically referencing the white cowl that was part of the <\/strong>Falcon and the Winter Soldier**-era ensemble.<\/p>\n

The Weight of the Cowl<\/strong><\/p>\n

"That was hard," Mackie continued. "It was\u2014with the heat, the sweat, the fogged-up glasses, it was impossible. It was called a ‘cowl’… it was my worst nightmare. You can’t do anything." The cowl was a unique element of Sam’s Captain America suit that was translated from the comics into live action, but it ultimately didn’t make it something Mackie could tolerate wearing any more.<\/p>\n

A New Captain America Suit<\/strong><\/p>\n

The movie Captain America: Brave New World<\/strong> features a snappy new suit with no cowl, and it’s heading to theaters on February 14. While the cowl was a interesting attempt to bring the comic book design to life, it’s easy to see why it wouldn’t work in live action.<\/p>\n
