At the beginning of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Sam is at his sister’s in Louisiana to assist save the household enterprise. Spellman mentioned: “Sam grew to become a hero due to the place he is from—he noticed that the world was not truthful. He ran off to avoid wasting the world by becoming a member of the army. However he is at all times apprehensive if becoming a member of the army was actually about operating away from issues at dwelling—they appeared so insurmountable, it would be simpler to avoid wasting the world.”

In fact, he additionally has to cope with that factor he was handed: Cap’s protect. “He really believes that there is an argument to be made that crimson, white and blue — stars and stripes — inherently represents oppression,” Spellman mentioned of that internal battle, to which Mackie added: “Sam considers the protect a illustration of the nation that we stay in. There’s a whole lot of trepidation so far as how does a Black man symbolize a rustic that doesn’t symbolize him?”

For Stan, it is about “attempting to embrace his new life,” he mentioned, “however he is fairly misplaced and having an id disaster once more. He is doing his greatest, discovering his personal path after Steve, in spite of everything these occasions. It seems like that is the primary time he is lastly free, so to talk, to take care of himself. But it surely’s not straightforward. How does this character now operate on the earth? What’s his life going again to Brooklyn? How is he assembly individuals? How is he interacting at espresso retailers? Is he courting? Is he fascinated about one other profession? Is he in remedy? There have been all these questions on the place we may take this character. There have been a whole lot of enjoyable and thrilling issues that got here out of that exploration.”

He’s patriotic, sturdy, good-intentioned, and each little bit of him shall be put to the take a look at as he tries to group up with Sam and Bucky to guard the world from a brand new menace.” Within the comics, John Walker turns into US Agent, the militaristic successor to Captain America as deemed by the American authorities.

“I gravitate in direction of characters who have to make tough selections,” Walker mentioned. “His dichotomies are what attracted me to him, and I have been allowed the leeway to form him a little bit as a result of we have by no means met this character earlier than.”
