Following John Walker's transformation into U.S. Agent in TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier, Wyatt Russell discusses his potential future in the MCU: 'There are so many different ways that you can go with it.'
Wyatt Russell shares his thoughts on the future of U.S. Agent in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Marvel Studios’ second live-action series to premiere on Disney+ began with Sam Wilson declining the mantle of Captain America and giving up the shield. At the end of episode 1, audiences were introduced to John Walker , a three-time Medal of Honor recipient chosen by the government to be a “new Captain America.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Throughout The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Wilson, Bucky Barnes , and Walker pursue Karli Morgenthau and her anti-nationalist group of super-soldiers, the Flag-Smashers. Motivated by impostor syndrome and overall inadequacy, Walker takes the Super Soldier Serum in episode 4. Following the abrupt death of his brother in arms, Lemar Hoskins, an enraged and high Walker chases down a Flag-Smasher and beats him to death with the once-mighty shield.
“I haven’t really even thought about, if the character comes back, what I hope he becomes. There are so many different ways that you can go with it. I just hope that whatever it is, is continued along this line of this struggle with self. That is something that I can do, as well as I think it needs to be done. As long as he has that conflict within himself, he can have a change of mind and he can go through therapy. There are lots of different ways you can go.
The U.S. Agent reveal in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier implied an anti-hero/villain team being assembled, à la the Dark Avenger or the Thunderbolts. Valentina’s recruitment of Yelena Belova in Black Widow, her role in Disney+’s Hawkeye, and the resurgence of Abomination have further cemented this theory. Earlier this year, it was announced that Jake Schreier and Eric Pearson are developing an MCU Thunderbolts movie, which will be the equivalent of DC’s Suicide Squad.
Russell says he has yet to get a call from Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios, and nothing official has been announced regarding his MCU future. Presumably, he’ll return as U.S. Agent in the upcoming Thunderbolts film or alongside Mackie in the announced Captain America 4. In the comics, U.S. Agent is very much an anti-hero acting as a deconstruction of patriotism.
