The Falcon and the Winter Soldier review: Sam Wilson’s (Anthony Mackie) journey to becoming Captain America was a tad too predictable, while Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) barely had an arc. It also failed Zemo (Daniel Brühl) and the Flag Smashers. It was at its best in tiny moments, be it a brutal murder, or Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ cameo.
The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Star Says Anybody Could Be The Power Broker
We’re halfway through
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and it’s still not entirely clear what the bad guys want, although you can make your mind up whether that’s a good or bad thing. The Flag Smashers want to restore the world to the way it was when half of all life vanished after Thanos’ Snap, but other than that, the group’s motivations have been decidedly muddled.
There’s also the very real possibility of Wyatt Russell’s John Walker going rogue as per his comic book counterpart, while it’s inevitable that Zemo is going to betray Sam and Bucky sooner rather than later. Perhaps the biggest question, though, is the identity of the mysterious Power Broker, the big bad lurking in the shadows that the Disney Plus exclusive has kept shrouded in mystery.
