I’ve been doing some reading online this evening, and came across two theories that I think deserve some merit.
The first is an article from CBR.com that lays out some evidence that the Red Guardian will find a Captain America-esque rival in John Walker. Basically suggesting that after the events of the Black Widow movie, he doesn’t want to lose his surrogate daughter (Yelena Belova) to manipulation from the powers that be. ***There are Black Widow spoilers within the linked article.***

The next is another fan theory from Murphy’s Multiverse about who the Big Baddie will be in the finale of Loki this week. I won’t go too in depth here, but I suggest reading the article because it makes some solid points about a (version of a) villain that I hadn’t considered yet.
