With a new Captain America firmly established and making trouble, the third episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier — entitled Power Broker — landed on Disney Plus Friday. The Marvel Cinematic Universe show drops us into the chaotic world six months after the sudden return of billions of people in Avengers: Endgame.
Seeking intel on the Super Soldier Serum-empowered antinationalist Flag Smashers, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) agreed to go meet an imprisoned Helmut Zemo (Daniel Bruhl) for intel.
However, they’re also at odds with new Captain America John Walker (Wyatt Russell), who was selected by politicians to take up the mantle. That stings especially hard for Sam, who gave up the shield despite being chosen for the role by Steve Rogers.
It’s time to hop on the SPOILER train as Sam and Bucky go globetrotting.
In the episode’s final moments, Bucky encounters Ayo (Florence Kasumba) in an alley in Riga, Latvia. A member of the Dora Milaje, Wakanda’s all-female special forces group, she’s tracking Zemo. She’s presumably planning to bring him to justice for the bombing death of King T’Chaka in Captain America: Civil War — an attack orchestrated by Zemo and briefly pinned on Bucky.
