“It feels really great to have collaborated with on certain aspects of the character and for them to be as responsive as they were.

As much as his beard is meant to mask his identity, being “unrecognisable” as he claims, also masks the fact that he doesn’t know that much about Marvel at all. Having been the talk of the fandom and fansites, Russell has had numerous conversations with journalists who’ve compared his character and Steve Rogers’ Captain America.

In fact, he is almost unrecognisable compared to his biggest acting role to date, and he wants it that way. Now, at his most comfortable, Russell has grown out a moustache, a long beard and is seen wearing a baggy hawaiian shirt.

On screen during the video interview, Russell looks nothing like the version of himself seen in the Marvel Disney+ series.

Luckily for the 34-year-old actor, he has remained unawares of all the negative sentiments and memes that have flooded social media. Since his debut at the end of the first episode, audiences have derided his looks, judged his character, referenced the character comic book history, and of course, compared him negatively to the original, Steve Rogers. Just don’t tell actor Wyatt Russell, who plays the new Captain America aka military man John Walker, in Disney+’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
