The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Honors MCU's New Captain America

Two episodes into Marvel Studios and Disney+'s Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan-starring The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and things are heating up on two major fronts. First, Sam (Mackie) and Bucky (Stan) found that the key to stopping the Flag Smashers may lie in the dark past of the super-soldier serum's racist history- one that involved Black veteran super soldier Isaiah Bradley (Elijah Richardson) and three decades of imprisonment, experimentation, and torture at the hands of both the U.S. government and HYDRA. But the dysfunctional duo has enough intel to take their investigation to a certain imprisoned anarchist.

Then there's the matter of the current Captain America, John Walker (Wyatt Russell), who seems to be saying the right things and wants to help Sam and Bucky (even getting Bucky's butt out of prison for missing a therapy appointment)- but they refuse. Can he be trusted? Are there other powers at play that even Walker's unaware of? Well, for now? Walker's the MCU's Captain America- and this, deserving of the following key art honor:

Now here's a look back at the official trailer for the Disney+ and Marvel Studios series, with the first episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier currently airing on the streaming service:
