Marvel Entertainment has released a new television ad for the next two final episodes of the Disney + series. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. And it looks like Sam Wilson is finally buckling up to become Captain America. The previous episode took a surprising turn, as we witnessed the new Captain America John Walker using Steve Rogers’ shield, something that has been a symbol of hope and optimism, to brutally beat a Flag Smasher to death. Humiliated by defeat in combat and angered by the murder of his partner, Lemar Hoskins, the new super soldier bloodied Cap’s shield while punching Nico in the head, eventually killing the guy who once described himself. as a fan and admirer of Captain America. Ironic, huh?
Well this new turn of events and John Walker finally losing Captain America’s ideals and values in this distorted new world order will now lead the final two episodes on the road to a showdown according to the new teaser for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Titled ‘Hurt,’ the teaser shows Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes taking on John Walker after what everyone thought was an anger-fueled meltdown that led him to murder Nico. Realizing that John is not ready to take Cap’s place and is certainly not capable of not being pragmatic or controlling negative emotions, Sam politely asks John to give him the shield.
Right now, he is finally preparing to take on the mantle that he was initially reluctant to. But after seeing Walker, he knows there was some reason behind Cap giving him the shield, not even his war buddy. Sam gave up the shield in the first episode thinking that it would be better if the shield represented Steve alone and everything he did for the world. However, the authorities turned that timid into a representation of “American values” and made John Cap’s successor.
Sam now knows that Steve needed someone with the will to make the right decision at the right time, regardless of how tough it might be, which is why he chose Sam to wield the shield. On the other hand, Juan, although he is a man of courage, a perfect soldier, is only motivated by force. And since he’s an undefeated war veteran, he can’t bear to lose. But, now his will to obsess over power and control has been amplified due to the effects of the Super Soldier serum he took. The trailer shows that he is not abandoning the shield easily.
When Sam argues that he doesn’t want anyone else to get hurt; John retaliates by saying, “You don’t want to do this,” to which Bucky responds, “Yes, we do.” One last glimpse of the teaser shows Bucky charging towards John. It seems that we are going to have a duel, two against one, like the one we got into Captain America: Civil War, perhaps on a smaller scale. The trailer also hints at Bucky’s mental instability, who is still reeling from his past traumas, and how badly he’s done as The Winter Soldier. Now, Bucky will see another man turn into Captain America, a figure that his friend immortalized. Hopefully the show will delve into the character’s state of mind, which he hinted at in the first episode.
A new feature film for Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is also available now, showing Ayo and Dora Milaje’s return to the MCU. Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, director Kari Skogland, Florence Kasumba, and Wyatt Russell share their thoughts on warriors in action. The penultimate episode begins airing exclusively on Disney + this Friday.
The miniseries has two more episodes to stream, and from previous trailers, it’s pretty clear that Sam and Bucky will team up, steal the shield, and take matters into their own hands. Hopefully that scene won’t be the series’ suspense ending and we’ll get some sort of conclusion at the end of the sixth and final episode. The history of Bucky and Sam within the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken a unique turn with this miniseries, but, as of now, it has not been confirmed that both characters will appear in any of the upcoming MCU films. The show’s producer has teased the return of Isaiah Bradley, and the significant character development of Sharon and Zemo requires some promising plot lines to consider for the sequel. The fifth episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier airs Friday on Disney +.
