The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em><\/strong> is one-third of the way through its course with a second episode that took things to the next level<\/a> by finally pairing up Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes for a real mission. A hardly surprising event, unlike the full-fledged reveal of new temporary Captain America John Walker.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cThe Star-Spangled Man,\u201d episode two of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/a><\/em>\u00a0starts off with John Walker (Wyatt Russell) suiting up as Captain America in the middle of a propaganda tour across the country that finally takes him to his former high school. In it Walker is presented as the ideal American hero: he was an athlete, he\u2019s smart, in top physical shape, he\u2019s in a loving relationship and has collected practically every military honor the Army has to offer.\u00a0John Walker is the perfect Captain America replacement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Walker idolizes Steve Rogers<\/a>, he\u2019s both excited and nervous ahead of the daunting task that is filling the boots of an extraordinary man he admired since he was a cadet at West Point. For all intents and purposes, Walker wants to do things right. He is -at this point- a good guy in almost every sense of the word. However, he does push back against Bucky and Sam when they voice their objections to him having Cap’s shield.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

In this regard,\u00a0John Walker\u2019s origins differ from his comic book<\/a> persona, and it\u2019s these differences that could shine a light on exactly what Marvel Studios is trying to accomplish with Walker. When Walker and his buddy Lemar Hoskins try to aid the Falcon and Winter Soldier\u2019s failed mission against the Flag-Smashers, viewers find out the new Captain America hasn\u2019t been given the super soldier medicine that transformed Steve Rogers from scrawny kid to America\u2019s hero.<\/p>\n

Unlike Rogers, Wilson, and Barnes, John Walker also starts off with the U.S. government’s full backing, he\u2019s a man that plays by the rules, he knows his way past the bureaucratic labyrinths of working in national defense, he\u2019s friends with Bucky’s therapist, he\u2019s in the zone and completely fine with the politics behind his superiors commands when on duty<\/a>, at least for now.<\/p>\n

What The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> tries to tell viewers with all of this is that John Walker is by all accounts a winner. He\u2019s not used to dealing with adversity; yet in his first full appearance, he\u2019s already failed his first assignment and is outright rejected by the friends of the Captain America he idolized, because they see him as not worthy of his newfound role. So despite Walker really being quite deserving of his reputation and backing up his cocky demeanor, in very little time he\u2019s gotten a pretty harsh reality check that makes the clean-shaven Walker a very different man from the guy with the scruffy beard telling Sam and Bucky “to stay out of his way”.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

It’s that last part where Wyatt Russell really shines. His performance is a clever balancing act between an earnest soldier doing his best to fill Cap’s shoes and something more sinister. Russell previously played a soldier with a dark streak in\u00a0Overlord<\/em>, and he brings just a touch of that darkness to his role here.<\/p>\n

With the mysterious Power Broker\u2019s name being dropped into the plot and, considering that Marvel character is the one who instills John Walker with a dose super-soldier serum that makes him even stronger than Captain America, it\u2019s not out of the question that Walker\u2019 frustration drives him towards an alliance with the unseen villain.<\/p>\n

As Captain America, Walker\u2019s sole mission right now is to bring down the Flag-Smashers, and given his insane drive for success and recognition, it bears asking just how far he\u2019s willing to go in order to achieve that. If Sam and Bucky are willing to talk to Helmut Zemo, there\u2019s no reason for Walker to be above allying himself with one of his enemies.<\/p>\n

Although The Falcon and the Winter Soldier\u2019s<\/em> final goal is to find a new Captain America<\/a>, the incumbent Walker has to be unseated from his position first and for that to happen it may very well take this shining prospect to turn to the dark side and perhaps adopt his Super Patriot identity from the comics in future MCU projects. Even if the show\u2019s producers are keen on painting a different picture of Walker, his first outing was very purposeful to portray him as the hero that\u2019s just about to burst at the seams.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

As if that weren’t enough,\u00a0Falcon and Winter Soldier haven’t picked their definitive villain<\/a> yet with\u00a0the part up for grabs between Zemo<\/a>, the Power Broker, and the idealistic Flag-Smashers, but that doesn’t\u00a0rule out the possibility that a WandaVision-style final action piece<\/a> could feature a duel between a Sam Wilson willing to accept\u00a0the legacy entrusted in him by Steve Rogers and a genetically modified\u00a0Walker, regardless on whether the latter is fighting as Captain America,\u00a0Super Patriot or U.S. Agent.<\/p>\n

Walker’s character arc across the next four episodes is so enticing because rather than play off the more natural avenue of the antagonist that’s opposed against the hero from the start, there’s a chance his story could be that of falling from grace,\u00a0quickly seeing his lifelong dream shattered into pieces and himself ousted from what he sees as the greatest honor in his life. Add the possibility of\u00a0Wyatt Russell signing on to play U.S. Agent in future Captain America or MCU films and it’s hard not to root for things to go sour for Walker, even if he doesn’t fit the mold of an android, alien or wizard.<\/p>\n
