There is little doubt that The Falcon and The Winter Soldier had several amazing action sequences but one scene still stands out as being the most disturbing. At one point, a furious John Walker uses the Captain America shield to kill one of the Flagsmashers. Interestingly, Wyatt Russell has just revealed that there are multiple versions of this particular sequence.
Russell recently spoke to Gold Derby where he discussed the infamous scene, admitting that he didn't expect such a strong reaction from the Marvel Cinematic Universe fans.
"I didn't expect the reaction it got because I don't understand, I didn't understand the magnanimous nature of Marvel Universe," Russell said. He added that he was actually expecting the scene to leak due to the number of spectators who were present during filming.
Russell then shared some details about how the sequence was shot with director Kari Skogland.
"You know what was really interesting about that scene, actually, was the way we were gonna shoot it, because it was a real kind of question of whether or not it was going to be sort of quick vicious ‘got got got got got' and that was it or if it was more of what Kari called a ballet, like a dance, which you sort of became more of that where you really see it in John's face and starting to, you know, go over the top in that serum running through his bloodstream you can really, really feel it and see it, so I think we ended up on the right thing, but it was interesting because there were different versions of it that we shot," he said.
That's certainly something to think about considering that the scene that ended up in the series was already uncomfortable to watch as it is. Could the other versions be less violent or even more disturbing than what we already saw? Perhaps it's better that we don't know.
All episodes of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier are now streaming on Disney+.
