As a long-time Marvel fan and avid gamer, I have been looking forward to the release of “Captain America: Brave New World” with bated breath. The trailer looked promising, and the inclusion of Sabra, Marvel’s first Jewish superhero, was an exciting addition that I believed represented progress in representation within the MCU. However, the recent revelations about the character’s backstory changes have left me feeling disheartened.
As a gamer, I’m excitedly looking forward to Sam Wilson making his film debut as Captain America in “Captain America: Brave New World.” But let me tell you, there’s another character who’s about to steal the show – a newcomer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Intriguing glimpses of this character can be found in the trailer for Marvel’s upcoming blockbuster. And guess who that is? None other than Emmy-nominated actress Shira Haas, joining us as Ruth Bat-Seraph, a.k.a. Sabra – Marvel’s groundbreaking first Jewish superhero.
In 2022, Marvel hinted at plans for Sabra’s appearance on screen. However, following an unfavorable response on social media, Marvel clarified that while their stories draw from comic books, they are adapted anew for each film production, and the creators have a unique vision in mind when it comes to bringing the 40-year-old Sabra character to life on screen.
As a passionate fan, I’ve noticed some changes to the upcoming project that have left me pondering. The Marvel announcement for the trailer revealed only Ruth Bat-Seraph as the character’s name, omitting any reference to her superhero identity, Sabra. This name holds significant meaning beyond just being that of an Israeli-born person; it also refers to a refugee camp where a tragic massacre occurred in 1982, leading to the deaths of thousands of Palestinians. With Israel Defense Forces surrounding but not intervening, the historical significance is undeniably sensitive and complex.

Despite the modifications, the Israel-Palestine dispute continues to stir up dissatisfaction among fans of the franchise. On X (previously known as Twitter), those who support Israel have criticized Marvel for changing the character’s background in the comics, while Palestine advocates have pledged to avoid the film due to its portrayal.
In every Marvel film, including “Captain America: Brave New World,” the specifics of the plot and the roles of actors like Haas are kept secret. Although Haas’ character is hinted at in the trailer, his significance may be reduced in the finished product. Similarly, significant changes have been made to Chris Evans’ filming for his next assignment, resulting in the elimination of an entire team of villains.
In 2023, there were reports that “Brave New World,” which was scheduled for release as part of the Captain America series in 2025, underwent significant reshoots after a disappointing test screening. The Serpent Society, the antagonist group in the story, was reportedly being dropped based on social media chatter. However, it’s unclear if Haas’ character will remain in the film given the intense backlash against the production. For now, we can only wait and find out how “Captain America: Brave New World” shapes up when it hits theaters on Valentine’s Day 2025.
