Might happen again in light of recent events.

Unlikely. America is a very diverse nation today and the greatest nation on earth which attracts people, legally and illegally, from every part of the world. All this means, everyone is using the freedoms in this nation and is super sensitive to every little slight against them/their community.

All this means, in order to not piss off a community, you can no longer have the enemy as Russians, Chinese, Mexicans, Indians, Saudis, Middle Easterners, East Europeans, Africans etc. Basically enemies have to be hidden/not shown or nobodies with no flag, no country, nothing and just cartoony fodder from make-believe places.

The movies in the other countries might depict America as an evil bad guy but we have moved past that.

So it is quite unlikely you will find a movie where the main antagonist is say Chinese or Russian today.
