+ The Disney+ series has just hired Alias and Doctor Sleep actor Carl Lumbly. The role has not been disclosed but Marvel fans speculate on the possibility that the veteran actor could be playing Isaiah Bradley, aka the “first Captain America.”
+ Lumbly recently had a recurring role as the father of J’onn J’onzz, aka the Martian Manhunter, on The CW series Supergirl. It was a call back to his earlier voice work portraying the Martian Manhunter himself on the well-regarded Justice League animated series.


+ Retconned into comic book continuity in 2003's Truth: Red, White & Black by the late Robert Morales and Kyle Baker, Isaiah Bradley was revealed to be part of Tuskegee-like experiments with the Super Soldier Serum following Steve Rogers' successful test, transforming him into Captain America. After working for a black ops U.S. Military group during World War II, Bradley went renegade with a stolen Captain America costume and shield and became a vigilante himself.
+ While it's not 100% certain that Lumbly is definitely playing Bradley, it's confirmed that the character is part of the show.
+ 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' is filming its first season in Atlanta right now.



+ Sam Wilson has been considered the first Black Captain America since he first picked up Cap's shield in CAPTAIN AMERICA: SENTINEL OF LIBERTY (1998). However, the day I learned about Isaiah Bradley, my mind was changed forever. Bradley’s first appearance was in TRUTH: RED, WHITE AND BLACK (2003), a series written by the late Robert Morales and drawn by Kyle Baker. Since the story begins in the 1940s, canonically, Isaiah arrived first in the Earth-616 timeline.

:ohhh::leon::banderas: I think they're about to step into the race angle with both feet. I really hope so anyway. I know the comics did it a bit, but I truly think we're seeing the influence of HBO's Watchmen here. :myman:

OK then. Not familiar but sounds interesting and definitely a bitten take on Hooded Justice. Hopefully without the unnecessary :wrist:.

I always felt Carl Lumbly was an underrated actor. Glad to see him involved a major project.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier Reveals More Evidence That Marvel's Thunderbolts Are Coming to the MCU

Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldierhas been shooting in the San Francisco area the last few weeks, and the most recent sequence that was shot there may be one of the most pivotal. That sequence involved a major criminal kidnapping or assassination attempt on some world leaders, with a new female team of Marvel villains seemingly making their debut. The few details about this mystery crew of bad girls (who may be Marvel's The Grapplers), actually point to a much bigger Marvel Cinematic Universeproperty taking shape. That's because The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is dropping more and more evidence that Marvel's Thunderbolts is on the way!

If you don't know, The Thunderbolts are a team of Marvel's "B" and C-list villains that reinvent themselves as a new team of superheroes. The first team was built by Baron Helmut Zemo who rallied his former colleagues from the Masters of Evil to embark on this faux superhero scheme, following the supposed deaths of The Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four. The goal was to pose as heroes long enough to gain the clout and influence to be given access to all the secrets various superheroes and covert organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. tried to keep out of villain hands. That first scheme fizzled when the "dead" heroes returned, and Zemo was forced to expose the truth about the Thunderbolts to the world. Later iterations of the team went on the run as fugitives; served as a place for redemption for villains that wanted to do better; or served as an officially government-sanctioned team, led by General Thunderbolt Ross / Red Hulk (to name a few).

Based on the details of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier's story that we've seen, it seems like The Thunderbolts could be a natural and organic continuation of the story this first Marvel Disney+ series tells. That story will revolve around Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson / Falcon trying to take up the mantle of Captain America, only to find out that process is a lot more challenging than he ever would've thought. The government seemingly sponsors a different replacement for Cap in US Agent, who may also come with his own government-sponsored "Bucky" sidekick (Battlestar). Assuming Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes manage to take ownership of the Captain America mantle by the end of the series, it wouldn't be too crazy if the government went ahead and tried to create an entire replacement Avengers team in The Thunderbolts.

Similarly, with Helmut Zemo returning for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier after the events of Captain America: Civil War, there's plenty of room for the classic Thunderbolts origin to play out. The MCU Zemo is a master of black-ops manipulation designed to destabilize governments - a talent he's now turned towards destabilizing the entire superhero world. What better way to do that than by creating his own superhero team to replace The Avengers?
