The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 5 takes us to Washington DC where the US military is essentially court martialling Walker. Or the next best thing to it. The guy who appointed him as Captain America tells him he s being stripped of his rank and that he will never be a part of the military again. Walker is still angry and launches into a tirade, pointing out that it was the government who made him into the soldier he is and who asked him to do the things he was doing. But the United States has no interest in making nice to him. He s getting an “other than honourable discharge”, which means he won t get any of the retirement benefits either.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier s fifth episode instead got something different: a super-famous face being introduced as an entirely new character.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is now a part of the MCU, and made her entrance as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in a scene recruiting a now-disgraced John Walker.
The scene felt almost like an inversion of Samuel L. Jackson s first scene as Nick Fury, recruiting Tony Stark. And that may have been on purpose.
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been conditioned to expect the unexpected. Would this character from this movie show up? Will this superhero jump over from another universe pop in, establishing the multi-verse? Marvel knows that s the kind of unexpected that we re all expecting, though. So they figure to just play things simple and surprise everyone with some stellar casing, which is exactly what
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier: featurette highlights Wakanda’s Dora Milaje
Marvel Studios released a behind-the-scenes look at the return of the Doria Milaje on
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. The featurette showcases the incredible stuntwork and presence of the Wakandan warriors on the show. We truly don’t mind seeing #NotOurCap get his

The excitement of their scenes in last week’s episode completely gave audiences more of what they want to see, a Dora Milaje show. Florence Kasumba’s return as Ayo was simply what the show needed and gave us background on Bucky’s history of becoming the White Wolf. Though we did note that at the end of the episode, after he was disarmed, Ayo dismissed him as

The high-impact release of 2018’s

Avengers: Infinity War and its 2019 follow-up
Endgame; but his standalone feature whetted appetites for more stories about the African royal and hero. Thus, Marvel Studios immediately set the gears in motion for a second
Black Panther feature.
