12 Greatest Ever Character Entrances In MCU History

12. Falcon (Captain America: The Winter Soldier)

By the time The Winter Soldier rolled around in 2014, fans of the MCU had gotten to know Steve Rogers pretty well. However, with his previous sidekick now becoming the titular villain from his second solo outing, he needed another to take Bucky’s place. Enter Sam Wilson.

The two met jogging around Washington D.C., bonded over their time serving in the armed forces, and the newest member of the MCU offered Steve and Natasha a place to stay when SHIELD came tumbling around them.

It was teased that Sam spent most of his time in the army in the air, but it wasn’t confirmed until Captain America needed to intimidate someone that he showed off his special talents. Steve and Natasha took Jasper Sitwell to the roof, and though it wasn’t Steve’s style, Nat kicked him over the edge only for him to be saved by Falcon.

Sam’s entrance as the winged hero was simply awesome, and was unlike anything seen in the MCU so far. Since then he has gone on to be a staple of the franchise, and has now taken those wings onto the mantle of Captain America.
