I soldati russi intagliano “Z” nei volti dei prigionieri di guerra ucraini – nel frattempo Marvel: “Haha E se il nostro eroe KGB indossasse un abito Avengerz?”

Marvel’s protagonist Alexei Shostakov appears in a post-credits scene wearing a suit with the word “Avengers” spelled out with a “Z”. Considering the character’s origin, this joke seems even more tone-deaf. This joke causes outrage among Ukrainians. Russian soldiers use the letter “Z” as an analog of the swastika. They paint it on tanks and weapons. Russian prison guards cut out the letter “Z” on the faces of some Ukrainian POWs.

I don’t think it’s anything intentional, probably trying to make a joke about russian accents I guess, but I’m not sure

I doubt that’s intentional. In American culture adding a z on the end of something sort of illustrates someone’s lack of education while trying to be cool. They should digitally remove it from the film though.

Well, that’s an easy boycott. Their movies have been getting shit anyway.
