Spoilers for the first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier — “New World Order” — lie ahead.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was primed to bring a number of new elements to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and one of those is Wyatt Russell’s John Walker a.k.a. the new Captain America.
Russell is well aware of hate for his controversial character, and he gave a solid response when asked about it.
Given the massive love for Steve Rogers, it was fair to assume fans wouldn’t take kindly to Walker taking up the mantle and, since his debut in the premiere, that has definitely been the case.
