Marvel Studios has released a mid-season sneak peek for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, exploring the complicated legacy of the shield and what lies ahead for Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, John Walker, and the Flag Smashers. Most of the footage here is familiar, but there are some new shots, including Walker making it very clear that he is Captain America.
In the closing few seconds, we see Sam and Bucky confront Cap, and it appears the stage is set for a two-on-one fight with the unhinged Walker (whose worst traits, and his apparent PTSD, have been heightened by taking the super soldier serum created by the Power Broker).
Is this the moment they finally take the shield from Walker? It certainly looks like they're going to try.
In our review of last Friday's episode, we concluded by saying: "'The Whole World Is Watching' finds a quintessential balance of action and character moments, putting the spotlight on the excellent Wyatt Russell's John Walker and what it means to be Captain America in today's world."
Directed by Kari Skogland with Malcolm Spellman as head writer, the six-episode series stars Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Daniel Brühl, Emily VanCamp, Wyatt Russell, Erin Kellyman, Adepero Oduye, Amy Aquinom and Danny Ramirez. The first four episodes of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier are now streaming on Disney+.
