Marvel Studios’ Captain America: The Winter Soldier changed the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse and a familiar face from the film is making his return to the Disney+ series Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Filming has resumed on the highly anticipated series after being shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year. If a new set of set images from JustJared are to be believed, villain Batroc the Leaper will make his return in the upcoming Disney+ series. You can check out the photos from the set at the link below.

In the set photos, you can see former UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre in costume reprising his role as Georges Batroc, also known as BatRoc the Leaper in the comics. Batroc was the mercenary Chris Evans’ Captain America and his team did battle against during the opening prologue of The Winter Soldier.
