The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Heaping, hefting grains of salt that not even a vibranium shield could stop the flow of at the ready! During a recent interview with BBC 1 Radio — (via The Direct) — Wyatt Russell appears to have teased a potential appearance, in some form, of Chris Evans’ Captain America in the season finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier:
Have I ever met Chris Evans? I think I have. I don’t think I’ve ‘shook his hand’ met him, but I think I’ve walked by him somewhere and made eye contact. That counts as being a stalker, that doesn’t count as meeting anybody. But, I guess it would. You just gotta wait until the end of the series and then everybody will be like, ‘Oh, wow.’
Meanwhile, Peter Sciretta took to the /Film podcast to tease “a big actor who hasn’t been named in the series … someone we didn’t know is going to be in the series and is an award-winning actor/actress” playing an “exciting Marvel Comics character” in this week’s fifth episode.
