Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series, and The Earthborn Trilogy, which is also on audiobook. Sam Wilson aka The Falcon aka the new Captain America is getting his own solo movie after the success of his team up mini-series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Subscribe to my free weekly content round-up newsletter, God Rolls. Anthony Mackie returns as Sam Wilson to lead Captain America: New World Order.Since his introduction in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Sam became an invaluable crime fighter alongside Steve Rogers.The Falcon and the Winter Soldier changed his status as a secondary character, though, and fully explored his life. We have seen from the trailers that Sam does indeed start training with the shield, so by the end maybe yes, he will be Cap, but it’s going to be an interesting journey to get there.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Not just because of our current political moment, but the fact that they’ve set up this situation of a random white dude being appointed Captain America as opposed to the black man Steve Rogers himself chose. What I do hope to see here is some exploration of race and authoritarianism in America, topics that the MCU has avoided, but now they seem frankly…unavoidable. WARNING: The following contains spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 2, 'The Star Spangled Man,' now streaming on Disney+. The comics go into some extremely weird places in this storyline so I don’t know if they’re particularly instructive with what happens next here (Red Skull in a cloned Steve Rogers body!). In short, he’s not “full Homelander” but we will clearly see a harder-edged version of Captain America with Walker, though whether they do make him a true villain, or someone who realizes the err of their ways and comes back from the brink remains to be seen. He actually tries to embody Steve Rogers’ ethics, but he’s just a more brutal all-around character, and eventually he beats a villain to death and badly injures a group of mutants. Together they welcomed The Falcon and The Winter Soldier returning stars Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/Captain America), Danny Ramirez (Joaquin Torres), and Carl Lumbly (Isaiah Bradley).
