Marvel Studios reimagined the controversial character Ruth Bat Serif for Captain America 4.
Despite the controversy, there was excitement over the casting of Israeli actress Shira Haas as Ruth.
Marvel Studios has revealed major changes to Ruth Bat-Seraph’s character for her MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) debut in Captain America — Brave New World.
Unlike her comic book counterpart Sabra, a mutant Israeli superhero and Mossad agent, the MCU’s Ruth will be a former Black Widow working for the US government.
The decision to reimagine the character comes after controversy over its connection to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Notably, the character will be called Ruth instead of Sabra, a name associated with the 1982 massacre in Lebanon.
The change has sparked mixed reactions from fans, with some questioning the decision to keep Ruth’s name. Marvel Studios has yet to issue a statement regarding the matter.
Despite the controversy, there was excitement over the casting of Israeli actress Shira Haas as Ruth. Haas has previously appeared in a variety of films and TV series, including Asia and The Zookeeper’s Wife.
In the final seconds of the nearly two-minute video, viewers get a glimpse of Red Hulk throwing Cap’s vibranium shield during a battle amid Washington, D.C.’s cherry blossoms.
The trailer for Captain America — Brave New World also revealed other interesting details, such as the first appearance of the Red Hulk. Fans are eager to see how the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)continues to evolve with these new additions.
