Wyatt Russell may have hinted at a surprise Chris Evans cameo on ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’. With only two episodes left, the Marvel Studios series is starting to tackle its core story, which is the legacy of the ‘Captain America’ mantle. From the discovery of Isaiah Bradley's secret existence to John Walker's public meltdown that left a Flag-Smashers member dead in Latvia, the show is challenging everything that's known about the superhero persona thus far.
After the defeat of Thanos in ‘Avengers: Endgame’, Steve Rogers decided that it's best to retire from service and live the life he always wanted with Peggy Carter. But before he fully disappeared, he passed on the shield and effectively the ‘Captain America’ mantle to Sam Wilson who was supposed to be his successor.
Unfortunately, due to internal and external factors, Falcon passed on the opportunity. With that, the government decided to launch their pick as the new Star-Spangled Avenger in Walker who debuted at the end of ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ premiere. Unlike Sam, however, he doesn't have any personal connections to Steve, and when Wyatt was recently asked if he has met Evans, the actor's answer wasn't as straightforward as the question.
During a new interview with BBC Radio 1, the actor was posed with this query but according to him, they were never really introduced to each other. Instead, they may have just found themselves in the same place where they made eye contact. Then, his answer turned more interesting when he segued to hyping up ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ where he teased that at the end of the show, people will be very surprised. Russell said:
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.' Love it, hate it, I don’t know.”
Meanwhile, after Wyatt Russell’s Captain America’s monstrous mistake, it is given that he will have to take off the uniform, and someone else will take over the mantle. The biggest contender in Anthony Mackie and Chris Evans’ Cap also wanted the same.
