Captain Falcon has been a staple in the Captain America comics since 1990, and has, like in the movies, had a strong and close bond with Steve Rogers (Captain America).
In the 2016 Captain America: Sam Wilson Vol. 1 - Not My Captain America comic, Wilson officially takes the reigns as Captain America, dawning the legendary shield after Rogers retires. Wilson has been Captain America in the comics ever since.
The MCU is heavily based on Marvel Comics, so the film and TV universe following the events of the Comics is a likely outcome, which explains why entertainment fans are leaning heavily into Wilson for the upcoming Disney+ series.
While there is a good chance longshot bettors could cash in on the +125 underdog odds for Bucky Barnes to hold Cap’s shield, an interesting line would be to take Steve Rogers himself at +1500.
Disney has done several jaw-dropping cameos in their original series from Mark Hamill showing up as Luke Skywalker in the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, to Evan Peters showing up to play Quick Silver in Disney+ original WandaVision.
It is not out of the realm of possibility for Disney to continue the trend of shocking cameos and have an older Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, to show up in the series and hoist his classic shield.
Betting On Black Panther 2
Entertainment betting fans are also wagering on Regé-Jean Page’s potential involvement in Black Panther 2. Page, of Netflix’s Bridgerton fame, has been speculated to be joining the cast in a yet to be announced role.
Will Regé-Jean Page Be Cast In Black Panther 2?
- Yes -160
- No +120
With the buzz surrounding Page from the popularity of Bridgerton, it is no telling if this is caused by fan excitement or by actual industry rumors that entertainment betting fans are leaning so heavily in favor of him joining the Black Panther 2 cast.
The rumors surrounding Page’s involvement are just that, rumors. There has been no confirmation from Page or Disney execs as to whether or not he will be in Black Panther 2.
Longshot bettors may want to lean in on these odds, as it is very possible that these rumors will fan out to nothing and leave underdog betting fans cashing in big at online sportsbooks.
