Is this a permanent return and Wilson going back to being the Falcon? Do you know?

I don't think they know yet, but it sounds to me like it will be a one-off. Unfortunately. I liked Sam better as the Falcon.

I really liked Bucky as Captain America.. that whole arc had great writing. It did not feel like a comic book to me.
