'The Falcon and The Winter Soldier' Spoilers: What Happens to John Walker in the Comics
On 4/9/21 at 8:36 AM EDT
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Episode 4 saw the new Captain America John Walker (played by Wyatt Russell) at the heart of an international scandal as he was caught on film murdering one of the Flag Smashers with his shield. The scene, with its reference to the police violence caught on camera that sparked Black Lives Matter protests, spells trouble for Walker, who is known as U.S. Agent in the Marvel comics.
In fact, those comics may also give fans a preview of what will happen to the character in the Disney+ show. In a Captain America arc from the late 1980s, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans in the MCU) abandons his role as Cap because he does not want to be tied to America and its political agenda.
