New photos from the set of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier reveal Wyatt Russell’s John Walker in a Captain America suit.
Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will follow Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes as they attempt to move forward without Steve Rogers as Captain America. The highly-anticipated series will also introduce newcomers to the MCU, including Wyatt Russell as John Walker, a character from the comics known for becoming the government-sanctioned successor to Steve Rogers’ Captain America.
Now, Page Six has shared new photos from the set of The Falcon and the Winter Solider that indicate Wyatt Russell’s John Walker will play a similar role to his comic book counterpart. Taken while The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was filming on Monday, the photos show Wyatt Russell in both a military uniform and a version of the U.S. Agent costume that is very similar to Captain America. Curiously, Wyatt Russell’s John Walker is shown wearing a sling on his arm despite being able to wave around the Captain America shield while wearing the superhero suit.
Check out the post below to see Wyatt Russell in the Captain America suit.

The Falcon and Winter Soldier is currently set to be the first Marvel Studios series to debut on Disney Plus. Set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, the series is rumored to center on Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes as the former finds himself facing resistance from the United States government and its opposition to him taking on the Captain America mantle.
Directed by Kari Skogland from scripts written by showrunner Malcolm Spellman and Derek Kolstad, The Falcon and Winter Soldier stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Falcon, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / The Winter Soldier, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter, Daniel Brühl as Baron Helmut Zemo, and Wyatt Russell as John Walker / U.S. Agent.
