At Long Last Our First Look at “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”
Yesterday, December 10, was the Walt Disney Company’s Investor Day. This is the reason, folks, that you woke up this morning with a sudden bounty of first looks at some of the most hotly anticipated titles coming to Disney+. We begin with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which reunites Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes in the new Disney+ series.
“The legacy of that shield is…complicated.” This is the first line from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s teaser, coming from Sam Wilson—better known as the Falcon. And he knows of what he speaks. Avengers: Endgame came to a close with the original owner of that shield, Captain America (Chris Evans) an old man, handing off the vibranium symbol of all that is good and just in the world to his buddy and compatriot Sam. The new series will reunite old frenemies Sam and Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier, natch) to take on new enemies in a post-Captain America and Iron Man world.
Check out the first look below. The series hits Disney+ in March 2021.
