Marvel/Disney+ series The Falcon And The Winter Soldier has, for the first four episodes of its existence, faced some criticism for being more middle-of-the-road Marvel than its small screen predecessor. Yet while it might not have quite the impact of WandaVision, it has still shown off some great moments, such as the shocker that ended the fourth episode. With two instalments left to arrive, Marvel has released a short new teaser.
Though it's largely comprised of footage we've already seen, the teaser does show something upcoming that we've all been anticipating – spoiler alert if you haven't seen ep 4 yet – Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) confronting Wyatt Russell's John Walker who, after his buddy Lemar Hoskins (Clé Bennett) died at the hands (well, feet) of the Flag-smashers, brutally murdered one of them with the Captain America shield in a vengeful rage. Now, of course, our heroes will be looking to take the shield back. Trouble is, Walker is now pulsing with super-soldier serum...
We can expect more battles as the show enters this final stage, and if you're looking for more analysis, plus the world's most kazoo-filled MCU theme tribute orchestra (again, we can only apologise), subscribe to the Empire Spoiler Special podcasts.
