Upcoming Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will introduce a new character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that of John Walker, played in the series by Wyatt Russell.
An overarching theme of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be the fallout of Avengers: Endgame, the loss of Captain America and both Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes’ attempts to live up to the expectations of their friend and superhero colleague.
John Walker first appeared in the pages of Marvel comics back in 1986’s Captain America #323.
“John Walker wouldn’t be in this series if he was causing everything to go well,” Wyatt Russell says.
