Sam Wilson has a sister named Sarah who regularly appears in the Marvel comics. Created by Stan Lee and Gene Colan, Sarah made her Marvel debut in 1971’sCaptain America#134. In the story, Sam came to Sarah’s side to help her and her son after her husband, Mr. Casper, had tragically died. While it is still unclear what Marvel has planned for Sarah in the series, some reports claim that her role will be significant and that Oduye will play Sarah in all six episodes of the show.
According to the official synopsis released by Disney,TheFalcon and the Winter Soldierwill follow the events ofAvengers: Endgame, after Captain America had handed over his shield to Falcon. Joined by his ally The Winter Soldier, the superhero duowill set off on a global adventurethat will ultimately “test their abilities and their patience.”
Fans are curious as to what Marvel has planned for the plot. With Captain America no longer in the picture, many believe the serieswill set up Falcon as his successor; however, in someEndgamescenes, fans noted that the Falcon appeared to have some reservations when he was given the shield.
Both the Falcon and the Winter Soldier were affected by theThanos snap inInfinity War, so there’s a chance that the series will explore their lives when the two returned after five years. There are also reports that Don Cheadle’s War Machine andGeorges St-Pierre’s Batroc The Leaperwill make appearances in the show. Fans will just have to wait and see for themselves when the series drops in a couple of weeks.
