Marvel Studios has renamed Captain America: New World Order to Captain America: Brave New World, and Marvel fans are unable to calm down regarding their opinions on the new title.
Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson and is the film's lead, confirmed the title change on Instagram about the same time Marvel did. He put up a picture of himself and Harrison Ford talking to each other with the following caption:
"When Harrison Ford tells you how kicking a** should look, you listen! LoL… Thanks for the on set wisdom and laughs my friend! Can’t wait to do it again… Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World in theaters May 3, 2024"
Now the internet has reacted to the retitling of Captain America: New World Order. One fan @darklordlyness mockingly asked whether the title change was a reference to his favorite book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Taking to Twitter, he wrote:
The upcoming film, set to release in 2024, will serve as a continuation of the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It will focus on Sam Wilson as he deals with the challenges that come with being Captain America while also clashing with President Thunderbolt Ross, amidst a new conspiracy, involving the fictional metal Adamantium.
The film will feature both new characters such as Shira Haas' Sabra and Rosa Salazar's Diamondback as well as some familiar faces such as Tim Blake Nelson's Leader and Liv Tyler's Betty Ross.
"A BRAVE NEW WORRRRLLLLDDDDD": Marvel fans react to Captain America: New World Order being retitled
In the wake of Captain America: New World Order being retitled by Marvel Studios into Captain America: Brave New World, fans have taken to social media to pen their thoughts.
Most fans could not keep calm about the change and took jabs at the new title while some supported the title change, even thanking Marvel Studios for it.
One fan, @chimaoges_cs, said that Hollywood, being liberal and woke, did not want Captain America: New World Order to succeed because it would have energized the right-wing people.
The fan wrote on Twitter:
The official rationale behind renaming the film Captain America: New World Order is unknown. However, The Direct claims that this is because of the divisive connotations of the term "New World Order," which is associated with racist stereotypes of Jews and conspiracy theories of a secret dictatorial world government.
Also as per The Direct, a significant portion of the fandom disliked the old title as they had felt that it was insensitive and anti-semitic, especially as the actor playing The Leader in Captain America: New World Order, Tim Blake Nelson is Jewish.
What does "Brave New World" mean? Where did the phrase come from?
As for the meaning of the phrase "Brave New World", it originated from a play written by William Shakespeare known as The Tempest. Miranda, a character in the play, gave a statement about the new arrivals to an island she lived on, unconscious of their deadly intentions:
"O wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, That has such people in't."
Another origin for the phrase "Brave New World" could be from the famous dystopian novel written by Aldous Huxley titled Brave New World, which explored the narrative of a futuristic society that revolved around science and efficiency and eliminated individuality and emotions among the population.
