Wyatt Russell got his big introduction at the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier this week, and he told EW what drew him to the role. The John Walker actor sat down to discuss how the show confronts identity, and how that concept differs for Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, and Walker during the series. Disney+ has another wild adventure planned for fans of the MCU. However, unlike WandaVision, it was clear from the word go that this would hew a little bit closer to other Marvel fare like Avengers: Endgame than the relatively intimate adventure in Westview. Part of this new story is Russell playing a new version of Captain America brought about by the United States government. The world is still in turmoil after Iron Man snapped half of life on Earth back at the conclusion of the last team-up film. Walker is now here to help “unify” the country, and possibly the world. But, things are rarely that simple.
