See you next week where we’ll tackle The Big Question from The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Episode 2. On the page, Flag-Smasher was a singular character and a leader of the awkwardly-acronymed organisation U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M. What is clear is that the Flag Smashers on screen are – as always with the MCU – not exactly a like-for-like adaptation from the comics. Expect more clarity on their whole deal in the coming weeks. How exactly that’s going to help their cause remains to be seen – but their (unnamed) leader seemed to possess some superhuman strength. Whether that’s their true motivation and how they decide to act on that remains to be seen – but like Anonymous, they’re based online (“Flag Smashers? There’s an app for that!”) and are seen using identical Wilson-from- CastAway-handprint masks to pull off a Swiss bank heist. Let’s get stuck in:Īs delivered in some (admittedly inelegant) exposition dumpery, the Flag Smashers are a group who have risen out of the Blip – people who were left behind in that five year period, and apparently rather liked an Earth that left such petty notions as bordered nations behind in the wake of universal catastrophe. That’s the Big Question covered, but there was plenty elsewhere in the episode to discuss – with new allies introduced, and a band of underground antagonists. Walker, by contrast, is an experienced soldier who will have seen things and done things in the heat of battle that have shaped him as a person – so stay tuned to see how that impacts on him as he takes on the Captain America mantle, likely with less success than the wholesome mister Rogers. That belongs to Sam, you massive ! Most notably, when Steve Rogers was chosen for the super-soldier serum, it was because of his purely good nature – the guy hadn’t seen a single day of combat yet, other than being beaten up in the alleyways of Brooklyn. In the comics, Walker has been a more militant and much less virtuous figure than Rogers – and while The Falcon And The Winter Soldier head writer Malcolm Spellman has teased that Walker may be a slightly more sympathetic figure here, chances are we still won’t end up rooting for him to keep the shield. “It's all about, who is this? What is this? And then – boom – you know, that wink.” What a. “You don't really get to know him, right? You see his back and you see the shield,” director Kari Skogland tells Empire of Walker’s introduction. But here, it’s very pointed that he’s taken Cap’s name (and his shield!), especially since Sam declined it out of reverence to Steve – and that wink to the camera inclines that we’re going to be dealing with a very different Captain America this time around. It’s been known for a while that Russell would be playing Walker, who in the comics has wielded the shield under the moniker U.S. He then addressed James Barnes with the name "Bucky", a nickname Steve and Sam addressed James through the three MCU phases, which was a big no from the fandom.No wonder Episode 1 closed on the reveal that Wyatt Russell’s incoming John Walker has been officially appointed as the new Captain America – this is the cliffhanger that’s going to keep us all talking in the run-up to next week’s episode. Anthony Mackies replacement as the MCUs Falcon, Danny Ramirez, shared a thrilling look into the physical progress hes making for his role ahead of Captain America: New World Order. First, in an interview on the episode, he called Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) his brother which did not sit down well with Steve-Bucky stans. However, he has rubbed not only the two Avengers but also the fans the wrong way.
John dived into his role as the Cap when Sam and Bucky faced the new super-soldiers, the Flag Smashers. In the new episode, John Walker was re-introduced as the new Captain America, giving viewers an understanding of factors based on which he was chosen as the new Cap. New Captain America, John Walker, and Bucky Barnes in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier episode 2.Īmid these revelations and action-packed scenes, fans clearly haven't made peace with the new Captain America (Wyatt Russell). The episode featured the highly-anticipated Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and James 'Bucky' Barnes (Sebastian Stan) reunion, their 'couple's therapy' that was teased in the trailer, confirmation of the super-soldiers, a look at Isaiah Bradley, and a glimpse of Zemo. The second episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier served as a treat for Marvel fans following the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the very beginning.
