The stage is set for Sam to become what he always wanted to be and fans cannot wait to see that amazing moment. However, a TV promo seems to have ruined the special moment for fans.
A television promo for the highly popular series has revealed what’s inside the Wakandan briefcase. Let’s dig a little deeper and see what the new promo is all about.
The short clip shows various scenes from the entire series, including some really dramatic scenes from Episode 5. We also see the mid-credits scene of John Walker (Wyatt Russell) making his own shield. On the other hand, it also features Sam giving up the shield to the government.
The promo ends with Sam opening the mysterious briefcase and soaring through the night sky in his new costume. Yes, you heard it right. The mysterious thing in the Wakandan briefcase is the new red-white-and-blue Captain America costume.
The new costume seems to be made of "vibranium" and has the ability to withstand anything that comes his way. Sam clearly had a disadvantage in his fight against the evil because his Falcon wings were destroyed by Walker during their altercation. This new suit not only gives him the strength he needs but also provides a chance for Sam to don the costume that legendary Steve Rogers once wore.
It's worth noting that the promo states that all episodes of the series are now streaming on Disney+, meaning that the video was possibly scheduled to be released after the season finale.
A previous toy leak in January 2021 suggested that Falcon will indeed become the new Captain America. The box features Mackie on the front, and the uniform is quite similar to the costume Marvel Comics introduced in 2014's ‘All-New Captain America’ series.
‘The Falcon and The Winter Soldier’ returns to Disney+ with new episodes every Friday.
