There is an interesting new fantasy theory surrounding The Falcon and the Winter Soldier . One of the great mysteries of the television series lies in the identity of the Power Broker.
The answer to the question of who is actually behind the Power Broker may already have been answered . That has to do with Apple and its iPhones, and the policy that the company has with its phones.

Using iPhones
In the Marvel comics, the Power Broker’s identity has been tied to a slew of characters. We mainly know him as someone to whom super villains owe their powers. One of the Power Broker’s biggest clients in the comics is none other than John Walker.
In the series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , the Power Broker commissioned Dr. Nail to recreate the Super Soldier serum. That fell into the hands of Karli Morgenthau and her Flag-Smashers, who eventually gave themselves super powers with the help of the bottles of serum.
But it is not yet known who the Power Broker actually is. There are a lot of theories for that, but one might be very interesting. The theory stems from a fact that Knives Out director Rian Johnson has already revealed in the past.
Subtle hint?
Johnson shared the following:“Apple lets you use their iPhones in your movie, but, and this is crucial if you ever watch a mystery movie: the villain should never have an iPhone.” With that in mind, viewers of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier looked for a character without an iPhone.
During the mission in Madripoor, none other than Sharon Carter turned out to have a whole new life. She dealt in stolen paintings. And managed to make a lot of connections for our heroes in Madripoor. In fact: so many connections that you almost wonder how she is doing.
An observant fan noticed that Sharon Carter does not use an iPhone in the series. Other characters do that. Seen in this way, it could just be that her character is not the least in Madripoor. Add to that the fact that she has easy access to satellites and passed an armed checkpoint without any problems and you have a lot of proof.
