If it's not, they need to make sure they either ditch the name of Braveheart, along with any mention thereof, or make The Bruce the central character. Otherwise, they'd just be furthering a bastardized version of history.
I still get a little riled when I hear William Wallace refered to as "Braveheart". Pfffft...
I'd say they'll remove the name. Apparently there was quite an uproar about Robert the Bruce's portrayal in the film here.
And over time there appears to be a great backlash against the movie. The Wallace statue in Stirling has been vandalised a number of times due to its likeness to Mel Gibson.
