Why Anthony Mackie Inspired on Ditching Captain America’s Cowl for Brave New World

Why does Captain America have a new look in Brave New World? Turns out there’s a hilarious reason...

Direct from Hollywood. In the series finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie's Captain America was gifted a cow by Wakanda. It was essentially a half helmet with goggles attached.

But in the movie Captain.

America Brave New World, Mackie doesn't wear the full cow. He's just in the goggles, and this new look doesn't have much to do with any Marvel storyline. Turns out, Mackie just hated the cow. He tells ign I told them I was never wearing that trash again. That was hard with the heat, with the sweat, the fogged up glasses, it.

Was impossible to work. That cow was my worst nightmare.

You can't do anything, Anthony Mackie there, whose Captain America costume overall leans back towards the classic look fans love in Brave New World, now in theaters. That's direct from Hollywood.
