Falcon And Winter Soldier Explained - Who Is The New Captain America?

Could U.S. Agent Be Used In Future MCU Projects?

What will be interesting to see as Falcon and Winter Soldier progresses though is whether or not John Walker may be used in other projects.

Again, we know that Sam will become the new Captain America and that Bucky will likely continue his own brand of super-heroics as Winter Soldier, but as the comics have shown there are interesting stories that can be told when a character is forced to reappraise their world views after being presented with new experiences and information.

Does the MCU need to have John Walker in future TV shows and films? Absolutely not. It's likelier still that Walker's entire arc will be resolved in the current ongoing MCU series and won't need to be revisited further down the line, but the potential is there for him to maybe become a recurring anti-hero or even villain, depending on how far Marvel Studios decide to go when they riff on the source material.

For the time being however, Walker remains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's most intriguing prospect. There are all sorts of avenues the series could take the character, whether he does get a redemption arc like his comics-self or doubles down on the tradition of evil Captain Americas, and seeing Falcon and Bucky confront him could make for one heck of a spectacle.
