Exclusive: Erin Kellyman On Playing Karli Morgenthau In ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’

Now playing on Disney+ is Marvel Studios’ “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,” featuring fan-favorites Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan as Falcon and Winter Soldier, whose oil-and-water dynamic has entertained audiences since 2016’s “Avengers: Civil War.”

All eyes are on the shield, as Sam Wilson aka The Falcon, and Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier decide to team up—or rather, work together—when a new global threat launches them into an unexpected mission that may hit too close to home.

Directed by Kari Skogland with Malcolm Spellman serving as head writer, the six-episode series also stars Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter, Adepero Oduye as Sarah Wilson and Daniel Brühl as Zemo.

Playing the role of Karli Morgenthau, leader of a resistance movement is Erin Kellyman, who is best known for her portrayal of Enfys Nest, leader of the rebel Cloud Riders, in Solo: A Star Wars Story. With the exception that the character in the comics is a male and goes by Karl, Karli is Flag-Smasher and early signs show she may carry some of the same traits stemming from the books.
