A captivating scene in Captain America: Brave New World, the latest blockbuster from Marvel Studios, has sparked discussion among indian audiences. A social media controversy erupted after viewers saw an on-screen likeness of indian Prime minister Narendra Modi. An indian politician is also shown negotiating over a recently found rare metal in the indian Ocean in one of the key diplomatic scenarios.
People immediately thought of PM Modi when they saw his well-groomed white beard, white blazer, and white kurta. Jokes, memes, and images were quickly shared on social media by fans who were guessing that the indian Prime minister had unexpectedly entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Who Acts as the indian Leader?
Harsh Nayyar, a seasoned actor known for his work in bollywood and Hollywood, is the star of the contentious part. Ben Kingsley performed the titular character in gandhi (1982), and Nayyar's depiction of Nathuram Godse earned him his first recognition. With roles in over 50 films, including Easy Money (1983), Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), Men in Black (1997), and Hidalgo (2004), he has amassed a substantial body of work over the years. His tv credits include roles in the indian online series Cyber Vaar - Har Screen Crime Scene, The Other Two, and Boston Legal.
The director explains their intentions
In response to the rumors, Captain America: Brave New World director Julius Onah stated that no actual politician served as the model for the character. He continued by saying that the film had been prepared for years before current events and that no attempt had been made to make political comments."Honestly, the only reason was to write a great superhero and political thriller, and not to be political at all," Onah stated. Despite these clarifications, fans continued to debate and engage in amusing disputes on social media over the character's resemblance to Modi.
The character's fleeting yet impactful presence has caused a stir on social media. Fans continued to share memes and responses to the scene on the internet when hashtags for the movie and the purported connection became widespread. While some argued about deeper creative choices, others saw the likeness as just accidental.
