RELATED: ‘The Falcon and the Winter Solder’: Wyatt Russell Answers All the Beard Questions I Could Ask It’s spot-on meta-casting that adds another layer to Walker’s character that might not have been there had the role gone to someone else. Walker is a man trying to prove himself in the shadow of his predecessor, portrayed by an actor who has undoubtedly experienced some of the exact same pressure. But Russell brings an additional implication to the character by being a second-generation actor from a family of famous actors. He plays the part well – a good soldier and a decent guy apprehensively taking on the mantle of Captain America, but with a concealed aggression borne from a career of blindly following orders and expecting others to show him the same obedience. Now that we’re 3 episodes in to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, I’ve realized he’s actually a perfect choice for the MCU, specifically for the role of John Walker. Russell has an old-school action hero aura to him, so on paper he seemed like a smart pick to play a superhero in the MCU.īut I was wrong.
Agent in The Falcon and the Winter SoldierI jumped up from my chair like I was in the Superdome and Stone Cold Steve Austin’s theme music just hit the loudspeakers. Consequently, when I saw he was cast as John Walker/U.S. I will watch anything Wyatt Russell appears in until the end of time, because he is an interesting performer, and he exudes an affable charm that is at least partially the result of being the son of the affably charming Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn.
