Wyatt Russell, who plays the replacement Captain America in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, says he hopes people don’t hate him “too much.”
The pilot episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier featured a replacement for Captain America, and it wasn’t the main hero The Falcon. Instead, the man in the new suit is John Walker, and actor Wyatt Russell says he braced himself for the reaction.
Russell said USA Today, “People will probably hate it, and some people are going to love it.” He went on to say that projects like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier “They’re there to get people excited, and I hope that’s what this show can do for people. Hopefully, they don’t hate me too much.” On the other hand, “it would be an honor, I guess, if I didn’t like him in the Marvel universe,” he said.

After a disastrous career, Walker becomes an American agent in Captain America # 354, published June 1989.
Russell says, “I don’t think there have been many MCU characters who have had the dilemma that he had in terms of trying to fit into this kind of moralistic superhero world. He’s been pushed into this role as Captain America and he’s going to do it. in his own way, and he wants to do it right. But his way is a very specific way that he’s learned through basically being a trained human hunter. I mean, that’s what the Marines are. They’re not Steve Rogers, they’re not the They’re not like the Boy Scouts anymore. They’re a little more twisted. “
