The reveal of the Disney+ trailer focusing on several of the Marvel shows, including The Falcon and the Winter Soldier miniseries has lead to a bit more information. While we knew previously that this series was planned for an August 2020 debut, Bob Iger confirmed that it’s still on track for that date after some confusion and uncertainty with scheduling going on in the last few weeks for the service where we saw WandaVision moved up from 2021 to December 2020. We figured it was a good time to update all the known information and corral it together.
The series has Malcolm Spellman serving as the showrunner with the opening episode directed by Kari Skogland. It’s set for a six-episode weekly run and a $150 million budget.
The cast so far includes:
- Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Falcon
- Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier
- Daniel Brühl as Baron Helmut Zemo
- Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter
- Wyatt Russell as John Walker
- Adepero Oduye
- Desmond Chiam
- Miki Ishikawa
- Noah Mil
Plot Concept: After Sam Wilson was handed the mantle of Captain America at the end of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Wilson and Bucky Barnes find themselves teaming-up in a worldwide adventure that puts their abilities to the test.
