The Falcon and the Winter Soldier creator Malcolm Spellman examined how his Marvel Studios/Disney+ show is a successor to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Black Panther.
"When you start to see the direct impact that a Black superhero had on my nephew, that’s branded on my brain," Spellman told TV Line. "I believe that Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a nice progression with the mantle that [Black Panther director Ryan] Coogler and Chadwick [Boseman] left us. I really do believe that these giant Black icons are necessary, not only for Black kids but for white kids to start to absorb -- our people as being big and heroic."
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be the first MCU project headlined by Anthony Mackie, reprising his role as Sam Wilson/Falcon that he's held across six MCU films. It will also be the second Marvel Studios show to debut on Disney+ after WandaVision.
The show synopsis for the upcoming series reads,
Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) team up in a global adventure that tests their abilities -- and their patience -- in Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
Directed by Kari Skogland, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier stars Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Emily VanCamp, Wyatt Russell, Noah Mills, Carl Lumbly and Daniel Brühl. The series debuts on Disney+ on March 19.
