Did you know that The Punisher character from comic books has taken on a political iconography these days? It’s not something I have followed closely and it’s also not the focus of this article. Just know that The Punisher symbol is often used by the right side of politics to express a particular viewpoint — and that’s something the people behind the property are not pleased about.

The purpose of this article is to relay a rumor that is coming from three solid sources regarding a similar situation with a different Marvel character:
Captain America.
Several months ago, a source shared with me that Marvel was potentially looking to do a new Captain America show or movie that would see both Anthony Mackie and Chris Evans somehow sharing the Captain America mantle. The source is rock-solid but the alleged leak was politically-charged. As a general rule, I try to stay away from explicitly political stuff in what I report, because ultimately if it lives in that realm, it causes our site and myself more trouble than its often worth to publish. Still, I was told that the reason for bringing back Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, potentially, was because some at Marvel were concerned that Captain America was being used by conservatives and MAGA types as a pro-nationalist superhero icon. Reportedly, Kevin Feige was open to doing a project in which both versions of Captain America would come together somehow to repudiate the perceived negative aspects of America while still finding a cause to believe in. The leaders of the MCU reportedly dislike that they did not address the issue before Chris Evans retired from the character. They felt that having an African American version of the character bare such a burden alone was unfair.
I sat on this rumor because I could not corroborate it whatsoever. As juicy as it was, it was political, spicy and I had nothing else to go on except for a single source, albeit someone who has given me fantastic early info in the past. Later, as I saw Marvel’s future slate of projects, I was pleased I had not gone anywhere with it because there was no proof it was in the works.
Then, things began to change.
In the last week, a second source has told me an almost identical story. This time, the source was informed of the possibility or likelihood by his or her boss. Working with Marvel, this source made the rumor have a second connecting point and I feel I should go ahead and reveal this is going around in the upper levels of some corporations connected with the MCU. Essentially, Marvel wants to keep the uber-popular Captain America brand, but they want to strip it of the nationalist and conservative connotation that they feel it has.

The most impressive sign of brand loyalty is when you imprint it onto your being. Sometimes that’s tattoos, sometimes that’s the naming your child. When you wear that Captain America star-shield you are saying that you identify with Steve Roger’s journey, values and patriotism (if you’re American, if your not American he represents standing against oppression and tyranny in general). But an important note on Captain America:
This info comes from my boss, an executive who circulates in spheres of influence with Marvel. There are people at Marvel who are uncomfortable with the patriotism facets of the Steve Rogers Captain America. I am not American but he says there are those in the United States who think the stars and stripes are racist or oppressive, and that there are multiple US election cycles coming up including presidential. These MCU gatekeepers fear that Captain America is being “stolen” by conservatives. My boss says “Burbank hates Captain America” – he says they totally lose it when they see people wearing Captain America star shirts on television at Trump events. Their regret is not bringing Steve Roger’s back in order to have him realize all the problems facing America. They will do it with the Falcon version of Captain America in a movie, and my boss says to watch for Chris Evans cameo playing “Old Man Cap”…
Anyway, all I can tell you is that you Americans (and Canadians) love Steve Rogers and his whole arc, etc. Right now, he’s money in the bank, which keeps him on big and small screens, but from what my boss tells me they’re gonna mess him up.
