The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is currently slated to be the first of the Disney+ shows.
It will focus on Sam Wilson (Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) following the events of Avengers: Endgame, which saw both characters return from the dead and lose their best friend Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) after he decided to return to the 1940s.
Sam and Bucky are far from friends when The Falcon and the Winter Soldier begins, but they’ll have to work together when old threats like Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) resurface. Plus, Sam will find his claim to the role of Captain America threatened by the U.S. government and their proposed replacement John Walker (Wyatt Russell).
It Will Feel Like A Long MCU Flick
Anticipation is high for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, especially because it’s the first of its kind. Mackie recently spoke to Variety for their Actors on Actor series about what fans can expect from the series, and he revealed
“We’re shooting it exactly like a movie.” Fans were curious about how the Marvel movie format would translate to a Disney+ show, and it sounds like they’re keeping things pretty similar.
“The way in which we were shooting, it feels exactly like we were shooting the movie cut up into the show,” Mackie said. “So instead of a two-hour movie, a six or eight-hour movie.”
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is currently scheduled for August, but it might end up delayed because of some production issues. Back in March, filming on the series was suspended in Prague because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mackie previously said they didn’t have much work left to do, and there were rumblings of production starting up again soon. However, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier could find itself impacted by the European Union’s new travel ban.
So, what do you all think about this guys?
