The famous Winter Soldier and our favorite Bucky does a fantastic job in the series so far and has the biggest corner in our hearts.

After that, he made brief appearances in Rachel Getting Married, Black Swan and made it to our homes as Carter Baizen in Gossip Girl and in Once Upon a Time.

But how did his journey begin, you ask? Well, we first saw him in 2002, in the film 8 Mile as the main antagonist. His first feature in an independent movie that came in 2003 was Brother to Brother. He played the role of Perry, a gay black guy, and portrayed his struggles. He worked in both, films and TV shows like As If.

We have seen him in the MCU since 2014, starting from Captain America: Winter Soldier and the latest on Disney + Hotstar in the series. He has been a buddy to us all, and after the recent turn of events we all empathize with him too, don’t we?

Although, the actor has not confirmed about his movement after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, we might see him as the next Captain America and carry ahead his legacy. We at least hope that he does.

3. Emily VanCamp, aka Agent Sharon Carter

The actress has loved dancing since she was three and said that acting interested her ever since she visited her sister, Katie, on the sets of Ladies Room in 1998. She worked in a few commercials, after which she got her break in a Canadian horror TV series, Are You Afraid of the Dark?.

4. Daniel Brühl, aka Helmut Zemo

Zemo’s entrance in the MCU turned everything upside down and turned our favorite superheroes against each other. But also, he gave us Bucky back, so we owe him a little too. We are sure you’ll agree with me on how much we hated him for causing all the havoc in Captain America: Civil War.

His first appearance on the screen was in 1995, in a German TV series Verbotene Liebe. The actor’s first English film came in 2004 after winning the European Academy Award for best actor for his breakthrough performance in Goodbye, Lenin! His first English-speaking film was Ladies in Lavender and Deeply. He later appeared in many movies and won many awards for his performance.

His debut in the MCU was in Captain America: Civil War, and he was probably the most formidable villain to beat and caused more havoc within the Avengers than anyone else. After Civil War, we didn’t see him in any movie, but we got to see his mad skills again in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

The actress has put everyone in awe with the smashing performance she has been giving in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. She has almost been on a killing spree and hitting our favorite Avengers. Interestingly, we first saw her as Cathy in Raised by Wolves, a British TV series, when she was only 15. She continued playing roles in British TV series like Les Misérables, Life, and Don’t Forget The Driver. She gained all the popularity after appearing in Solo: A Stars Wars Story as Enfys Nest in 2018.

This series is her debut in the MCU, appearing as Karli Morgenthau, the leader of Flag Smashers. She took us by surprise when she came out behind all the carts and boxes and hit Bucky and put on the mask. Karli’s character from the comic books is actually a boy, and she thinks it was very cool to be able to pull out the character.
