John Walker actor Wyatt Russell reveals his Thunderbolts* character originally didn’t say Captain America’s iconic line in Jake Schreier’s MCU movie. Soon after the Thunderbolts realize they have to work together to escape Val’s vault, Walker takes a more aggressive approach than his fellow anti-heroes and breaks the generator that powers the vault’s defense system. Walker warns his teammates saying, “on your left” — the line that kicked off Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson’s close friendship in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
During an interview with EW, Thunderbolts*star Wyatt Russell reveals John Walker’s “on your left” line wasn’t originally in the movie. Instead, director Jake Schreier added the line in post-production, allegedly as “just something to fill a void” when John Walker takes the lead. Wyatt Russell also clarifies that he “didn’t want to say” the line. Whether Schreier added the line as a reference to Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson isn’t specified. Read Russell’s comments below:
“That was a line I didn’t want to say. Jake [Schreier]felt like we needed something to say in ADR. That was an ADR-ed line. That is not connected at all. It was just something to fill a void.”
