This article tackled the issue of the misrepresentation of Islam in American cinema since the 9/ 11 events. The attacks intensified otherness and Orientalism, therefore values of Islam and the image of veiled Muslim women were disfigured in some American films. The Consumers of these cinematic contents are exposed to misrepresentation, misjudgment, and a confined image of the Hijab and Islam. Thus, the purposes of this paper were to review, analyze, and interpret how some scenes display falsified images of Islam, and to propose actions to oppose cinematic Orientalism. Employing a shot analysis approach, the study investigated two selected movies, 'Iron Man' and 'Black Panther.' The findings revealed that both films leaked condensed action scenes that promote stereotypical and biased depiction of Islam. By portraying Muslim men as violent savages menacing people, and veiled women as oppressed and weak, the movies presented a speech that the paper called to contest.
