WARNING: The following contains spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 4, "The Whole World is Watching," now streaming on Disney+.
A major character in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Lemar Hoskins/Battlestar was introduced as an ally of John Walker/Captain America. While Hoskins met an untimely fate in the latest episode of the series, there's a lot to the character in the comics, and that might just influence his potential return. In this new video, we're going to break down just what you need to know about Battlestar.
Created by Mark Gruenwald and Paul Neary, Hoskins first appeared in 1986's Captain America #323. In that story, Hoskins was a Bold Urban Commando. At the time, Hoskins was seemingly at odds with Walker, who was calling himself the Super-Patriot. However, it was eventually revealed that the Bold Urban Commandos (or "Buckies") were actually working to boost Walker's reputation. And these machinations worked.

Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, it's not totally clear just what shape the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will take. While there's a good indication the characters that Disney acquired from 21st Century Fox will soon arrive, there's not much solid information on just when or how that might happen. Right now, there are a lot of potential directions the MCU could go in the future, though exactly which one it will take remains to be seen.
Created by Malcolm Spellman and directed by Kari Skogland, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier stars Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Emily VanCamp, Wyatt Russell, Erin Kellyman, Adepero Oduye, Florence Kasumba and Daniel Brühl. New episodes debut Fridays on Disney+.
