Wyatt Russell says former Captain America John Walker is a man with little left to lose in Friday’s series finale The falcon and the winter soldier. Spoiled for Episode 5, “Truth.” When he uses the star-spangled shield once used by Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) to cruel Nico (Noah Mills) of the Flag Smashers – revenge for his partner Battlestar (Clé Bennett), who is KIA who fights with Super Soldier Serum empowered Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman) – Walker is deprived of his title and authority as Captain America. With the blood-stained shield stolen from him by Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Walker forges his own shield that he will use to seek revenge as the American agent.
“I’m just asking to be heard,” an increasingly frustrated Walker told the council, removing him as the new Captain America, effective immediately. “I have lived my life according to your mandates! I have dedicated my life to your mandates! I just always did what you asked of me, what you told me and trained me to do it, and I did it. “And I did it well.”
When he was sentenced to a non-honorable dismissal and told he would have no rank in retirement and receive no benefits, Walker told the council: ‘You built me. Senator, I’m Captain America. ‘
Not anymore.
“He only knew one family – and that was the U.S. military,” Russell said. Esquire. “He cared and he fought for them and he loved it, but now they took it. They used him, and he feels used and does not feel understood. Everyone has now turned their backs on him, which many dangerous to do to someone like that who now has Super Soldier Serum in his veins. ‘
Weeks after viewers first responded to a smiling and winking Walker with the #NotMyCap hashtag on social media, Walker is No One’s Cap – a cloak finally worn by Sam Wilson in the Falcon and Winter Soldier series final.
Being a Captain America who was not Steve Rogers or Chris Evans was ‘partly why I liked it’, Russell said of his Marvel Studios role. “People would hate it. I knew it. That’s why you do it. That’s the point. You elicit the reaction and it’s like: Okay, this works. “
‘I’m the kind of person [where] the gray area is a place where you have to live, “he added. If you do not live there, you are going to have a very difficult time in your life to find out who you are, because you limit it to the kinds of questions you can ask yourself and ask others … What this character hopefully for people, is the idea that there is a gray area in him – and that there is a gray area around us every day in life. ‘
