Wyatt Russell became a new name in the Marvel family after starring in the series «Falcon and the Winter Soldier», but his appearance in «Thunderbolts» garnered even more praise. Wyatt is no stranger to show business and, surprisingly to some fans, he is actually a Hollywood royalty.
Before becoming popular in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Wyatt also appeared in several TV series and movies, including «22 Jump Street», «Lodge 49», and others. From his famous family to his history with Captain America, here’s what you need to know about Wyatt.
Wyatt made his debut in the series «Falcon and the Winter Soldier» in the very first episode. At the end of the premiere, Wyatt’s character, John Walker, was introduced as the new Captain America. John was appointed by the government, despite Steve Rogers passing the shield to Sam Wilson. Needless to say, there is friction between John, Sam, and Bucky. John Walker is a well-known character from Marvel comics.
Wyatt is the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. His step-siblings are Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson. Wyatt’s first role was as a baby in Kurt and Goldie’s 1987 hit film «Overboard».
Wyatt’s first audition was for the role of Captain America, which ultimately went to Chris Evans, in the first Captain America movie. «I think, honestly, the first audition was more of just a reading to see if I was any good at acting or not. I don’t think I was ever really in competition for the role, but it was insane», - Wyatt said on GMA.
Wyatt married actress Meredith Hagner in 2019. In March 2021, they welcomed their first child, a son named Buddy. Wyatt was previously married to stylist Sanne Hamers. They divorced in 2017.
Before becoming a full-time actor, Wyatt was a hockey player. He played hockey for the University of Alabama in Huntsville. He played for several hockey teams, including the Langley Hornets, Chicago Steel, Brampton Capitals, and others. After several injuries, Wyatt left hockey behind
