The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 2 has introduced another character straight from the comics which could bring twists in future episodes. With the New Captain America, a side character is introduced who would likely play a Bucky role for John Walker.
SPOILERS AHEAD! STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE SECOND EPISODE!
Lemar Hoskins is the side character introduced in the latest episode. The character is played by Clé Bennett and till now there have been no signs of his character having a greater ole in the show. In a scene, Lemar Hoskins reveals to Bucky and Sam that he is the Battlestar.
In Marvel Comics, Lemar Hoskins was a soldier and a friend of John Walker. They both were given superhuman strength by Dr. Karl Malus working for The Power Broker. Lemar was later on given the name Battlestar. As Battlestar, he is a skilled fighter with superhuman strength, working for good teaming up with Falcon in the comics.
Now, Power Broker is confirmed to exist in MCU as revealed in the new episode where it is seen that Power Broker's men are going after the Flag-Smashers. Also the name has also been hinted in the end credits written as "PowerBroker is watching".
It is possible that Battlestar is just another supporting character of the show but it is for sure that Lemar Hoskins and John Walker are hiding something. As in the comics, they both get their powers from Power Broker, it is highly likely that the show will also feature the same. Flag-Smashers might not be bad as it has been portraited in the last episodes but it is Power Broker who is the main antagonist here.
Not to mention, hearing the word Battlestar, Bucky reacted pretty weirdly. Does Bucky know the role of the title or does he know him? Has he seen him or heard about him while being a Winter Soldier?
With the high cinematic action, it will be interesting how the story unfolds with the dynamic duo of Sam and Bucky alongside Zemo playing a greater role as the show progresses.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is streaming now on Disney+. New episode releases every Friday 12am PT.
