There’s an app for that!”) and are seen using identical Wilson-from- CastAway-handprint masks to pull off a Swiss bank heist. Let’s get stuck in:Īs delivered in some (admittedly inelegant) exposition dumpery, the Flag Smashers are a group who have risen out of the Blip – people who were left behind in that five year period, and apparently rather liked an Earth that left such petty notions as bordered nations behind in the wake of universal catastrophe. That’s the Big Question covered, but there was plenty elsewhere in the episode to discuss – with new allies introduced, and a band of underground antagonists. Walker, by contrast, is an experienced soldier who will have seen things and done things in the heat of battle that have shaped him as a person – so stay tuned to see how that impacts on him as he takes on the Captain America mantle, likely with less success than the wholesome mister Rogers.

In the comics, Walker has been a more militant and much less virtuous figure than Rogers – and while The Falcon And The Winter Soldier head writer Malcolm Spellman has teased that Walker may be a slightly more sympathetic figure here, chances are we still won’t end up rooting for him to keep the shield. “It's all about, who is this? What is this? And then – boom – you know, that wink.” What a. “You don't really get to know him, right? You see his back and you see the shield,” director Kari Skogland tells Empire of Walker’s introduction. But here, it’s very pointed that he’s taken Cap’s name (and his shield!), especially since Sam declined it out of reverence to Steve – and that wink to the camera inclines that we’re going to be dealing with a very different Captain America this time around.
