He lacks an injection of the Super Soldier Serum to put him on equal footing with the other supers at play in the series. The rest all falls to Wyatt Russell’s tremendous performance to bring it home.Ĭast as Capitan America rather than built for the job, Russell’s Wyatt exists as a man constantly playing catch up. The perfectly realized visual of Walker in the Captain America outfit thematically underscores just how ill-suited he was for the role. He always appears as a child playing dress-up. It’s more that Russell’s Walker doesn’t have that perfectly chiseled Chris Evans / Steve Rogers jaw to fill it out. It’s not that the headpiece was ill-fitting. Perhaps too much camera presence as his greatest moments always seemed to be staged moments earlier in the series.īut all you have to do is look at Walker’s ill-fitting headpiece as Capitan America to know the role doesn’t apply. He appeared a perfect fit as he had that rare blend of “aww shucks” corn-fed Americana and camera presence. Chosen by the government to carry the thematically heavy Captain America shield, Walker was a decorated member of the U.S. That frustration, that struggle, sits at the core of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s John Walker, marvelously played by actor Wyatt Russell with a gradually escalating sense of deadly futility. It will be good to see what the makers of Falcon and the Winter Soldier have in mind and how they go about with the new ‘Captain America’.What if you’d done all the right things, made all the right choices in life, but you still weren’t good enough? Who else can play Captain America like Chris Evans? Nobody! And what's good about this show is that it takes that in hand, where it's like, ‘Well, who else is going to play Captain America? This guy?” Russell said taking the joke on himself. That's just so hard to play, and he did such a great job of actually bringing some conflict with the character,” said Russell. He was fighting Nazis and he had less internal issues to deal with because everyone thought he was perfect. That was a really different version of Captain America, with far less problems. “He did have an unreal, unbelievable job. The new Captain America was all praises for Chris Evans. “it would be an honour, I guess, to be disliked in the Marvel universe.” It will be difficult filling Chris Evans' shoes and Russell was prepared to be disliked by the Marvel fans but he just hoped they don’t dislike him too much. Hopefully, they don't hate me too much,” said Russell in an interview. Shows are there to make people feel emotions, and I'm hoping that that's what this show can do for people. “People are probably going to hate it, and some people are going to love it.
Russell shared that he was prepared for the fans’ reactions. 'Not My Cap' started trending on Twitter as fans expressed their disappointment with the new Captain America.
