The Falcon and the Winter Soldierwill reportedly have a pretty interesting connection toAvengers: Endgame, according to a new leak. Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes are going out on their own for the upcoming Disney+ series, which was supposed to premiere in August, but has unfortunately just been delayed. However, it looks like it won’t be too much longer with a fall release date expected. Now, a new leak provides a big connection to Hawkeye and hisAvengers: Endgamestoryline.
Plot specifics regardingThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierhave largely been under wraps just like every Marvel Studios production, but a new set of castings may point to an important piece of the puzzle. It is believed thatAnthony Mackie will take on the Captain America mantlewith many opposing it, which will be complicated with the introduction of U.S. Agent, aka Wyatt Russell. Now, it looks like the Yakuzas will be a part of the storyline in some way too, though it’s unclear how they will fit in.
According to the official IMDb forThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Kawui Joa and Leon Ngo have been cast as a “yakuza gang” member and “yakuza bike rider,” respectively. Both of these actors were inAvengers: Endgamewhen Natasha Romanoff tracked downClint Barton in Japan. As of this writing, the actors only appear in one episode, though known of this information has been officially confirmed by anyone at Marvel Studios. Their inclusion has led many Marvel Cinematic Universe fans to speculate about why the Yakuza would be involved in the upcoming series.
TheHawkeye Disney+ seriesis also on the way and it would not be surprising to see Jeremy Renner appear for a cameo inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier. This could be directly linked to theYakuza, or it might not. The series could be just using the gang for a callback toAvengers: Endgame, which even by itself, is something that a lot of MCU fans will more than likely appreciate. It’s entirely possible that the gang is looking for retribution after Clint Barton, as Ronin, went on a killing spree and took a lot of them out.
This clue may even indicate that theHawkeyeseries might go back to tell more of the Ronin tale that was not covered on the big screen inAvengers: Endgame, though that has also not been confirmed and is only speculation at this point in time. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what Kevin Feige and crew have up their sleeves for the new Disney+ shows, which are all shrouded in mystery. It looks likeThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierwill need some additional production before the show is ready for its debut this fall.Redditwas the first to discover the latest leak fromThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
