Sabra, played by Israeli actress Shira Haas, was announced as joining the super-powered franchise at the D23 Fan Expo in 2017.

A political-thriller bent has always been there in the Captain America film series. Hence, the MCU could explore in depth the unrest Sabra's country has experienced for the greater part of a century.

Sabra has now been a part of the Marvel Comics canon for more than 40 years, for those who may not be aware.

Although the character's Israeli ancestry presents a tricky political minefield for Marvel Studios to navigate, there is a way that it might work nicely into the Captain America: New World Order storyline.

Shira Haas, an actress who was born in Israel, can provide a viewpoint to the part that will be necessary in a contemporary interpretation of the venerable Marvel Hero.

When Captain America: New World Order premieres in theatres on May 3, 2024, Sabra and the rest of the cast will be present.
