Wyatt Russell was introduced as John Walker during the events ofThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The television series featured Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) struggling to embrace his role as the new Captain America. Walker functioned as a negative reflection of Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), with the character constantly breaking the law and representing a threat to everyone around him. Wyatt Russell has worked as a main player for the Marvel Cinematic Universe in recent years. The fact that the actor has been recruited forAvengers: Doomsdayshouldn’t come as a surprise to fans of the franchise.
Stephen McFeelywill write the screenplay forAvengers: Doomsday, even if Wyatt Russell hasn’t had the chance to read it yet. The writer will continue his acclaimed working relationship with Marvel Studios thanks to the upcoming crossover. McFeely has worked on titles such asCaptain America: The Winter Soldier,Avengers: Infinity WarandAvengers: Endgame. The new sequel will be directed by the Russo brothers. The filmmakers developed some of Marvel Studios' biggest hits, which is why the studio was eager to bring them back after recent critical and box office disappointments.
The Premise of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
Avengers: Doomsdaywill feature the return ofRobert Downey Jr.to the MCU. The Academy Award winner will portray Doctor Doom, the main villain of the movie. John Walker will be featured in the crossover because the entireThunderbolts*team labeled themselves as the New Avengers when their movie came to a close. Even if Sam Wilson doesn’t feel like working with the people who tried to claim the Avengers name for themselves, the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will need all the help they can get when Doctor Doom arrives in their timeline. Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Shuri (Letitia Wright) and Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) will also return in next year’s massive pop culture event.
