The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 3- Power Broker

 

Sam and Bucky break Zemo out of whatever prison he is in, and they go to Madripoor to find out who is making the new super soldier serum.  While there, they find Sharon Carter, who has been on the run for quite a while.  I forgot she helped Sam and Buck steal the shield in Civil War.  You would think they would have remembered her, but fighting Thanos and half the world's population getting wiped out could make one forget things.  She helps them out, and they leave the island to head somewhere else.  Sharon has some other irons in the fire, though.  Oh, and new Cap is starting to lose it, what a surprise.  Finally, Ayo shows up to kill Zemo (much like Sharon wants to).

I gotta say, while all the backstabbing intrigue and stuff is not my cuppa, it's nice to see both Sharon and Ayo again.  Also, the guy playing Helmut Zemo, Daniel Bruhl, is really good and is fun to watch.  I don't trust him for a minute, but the interplay between the main characters is great.

Wyatt Russell has the perfect look for John Walker.  You can tell Kurt is his dad, but he's got a punchable face, so the final fight should be enjoyable, when we get there.
