Wyatt Russell’s John Walker gets his own The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Disney+ spinoff as U.S. Agent in a new fan poster. Marvel Studios’ second series for the streamer has just wrapped up, but as with most projects in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, its characters are expected to re-appear moving forward with the franchise. That includes Walker, who briefly became Captain America in the show.
After Sam Wilson gave up the shield in the premiere, the government decided to choose its next wielder, and Walker was ultimately picked. Despite the backing of the organization and the MCU public, the character was quickly despised by viewers even though he technically hadn’t done anything outright nefarious. Eventually, he demonstrated why he’s unfit to carry the mantle: in an effort to seek revenge for the accidental death of his partner, Lemar Hoskins, Walker went on a public rampage and killed a member of the Flag-Smashers in broad daylight. Still, he ultimately survived the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and even got a new identity in the finale — U.S. Agent.
Given this, a Reddit user with the handle u/Sexytacoben_07 came up with a fanmade poster imagining what it will be like if Walker gets his own Disney+ series. Simply titled U.S. Agent, the proposed The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spinoff project tackles his upcoming adventures as a super-soldier serum-powered individual.

While it’s unclear where else Walker will appear in the MCU as U.S. Agent, it’s likely Marvel Studios has some big plans for him. He’s the only character in the franchise who has confirmed ties to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who’s teased to make waves in the universe following her introduction in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Given this, whatever lies ahead for Walker, it’s safe to say that the Contessa will have something to do with it. It appears as if Val is assembling her own team of skilled individuals, the same way Nick Fury did the Avengers. Interestingly, they have a history together in the comics as both S.H.I.E.L.D. members and lovers, so it will be interesting to see if Marvel Studios is planning to take that to the screen.
Despite the murky resolution of John Walker’s arc in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Walker is one of the most interesting characters in the show. Based on what’s been seen, he’s not inherently bad, but he doesn’t have a strong grip on his principles like Steve Rogers and Sam do. That means he’s prone to making catastrophic mistakes, especially during times of stress. In the comics, U.S. Agent is more of a villain, so audiences will have to see how Marvel Studios continues his story in the MCU moving forward as compared to his print arc.
