    Report: ‘The Falcon and The Winter Soldier’ Episodes to Run 45 to 55

    A new article from the New York Times on the upcoming Disney+ Marvel Studios series, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, reports that the series of 6 episodes will all be 45 to 55 minutes in length.

    “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” consisting of six 45-to-55-minute episodes to be rolled out weekly, offers timely explorations into the nature of patriotism and extremism and the values of inclusivity, diversity and representation, set in a world striving for stability after a global catastrophe.

    This is in some contrast with recent quotes from series star Anthony Mackie and Kevin Feige, with Mackie comparing the series to a 6 to 8-hour movie, and Feige correcting that slightly with a “not quite 8 hours.” One assumes the New York Times should have good sources, but as someone who wants as much of the new adventures of Bucky and Sam as possible, I hope it’s a bit more.

    New ‘THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER’ Character Posters Show Off The Series Big Guns

     

    With Marvel Studios first Disney Plus streaming series, WandaVision, now in the rearview mirror, the studio has turned its attention to promoting its next big event: The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Set to debut March 19th, the series will explore the legacy of Captain America in a post-Blip world. Marvel has kicked off what we can expect to be a busy couple of weeks of promo and press by releasing new character posters for the series leads.

    These characters also happen to be the same ones each getting an episode of Marvel Studios recap series, Legends. While the marketing for the series has understandably revolved around the title characters, we still know little about what exactly Zemo is up to here and even less yet about Sharon Carter’s role. Interesting is the absence of two other characters who will play a major role in the series: John Walker and Karli Morgenthau, aka Flag-Smasher. Perhaps we’ll see more of them over the next couple of weeks leading up to the debut.

    The Falcon and The Winter Soldier debuts on Disney Plus on March 19th!

    With the series debut now less than 2 weeks away, it won’t be long before we see just how the legacy of Steve Rogers is handled in the MCU!

  • New ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldiers’ Pictures Teases the Weight of Captain America’s Shield

    New ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldiers’ Pictures Teases the Weight of Captain America’s Shield

    WandaVision is on everyone’s minds right now. Yet, we are only less than a month away from Marvel Studios’ next major Disney+ release, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. They’ve been busy releasing various TV spots to promote the show’s release while balancing various promotions for the one that is currently airing. A few days ago, we got a brief look at Wyatt Russell‘s Captain America, who seemed to be going through something. So far, the trailers have been very focused on the titular duo and keeping various secrets as they continue to promote it. They weren’t done yet as we got some brand new stills teasing the weight of the shield that Anthony Mackie‘s Sam Wilson will face in the series.

    The main focus of the series will be on Sam’s questioning of carrying on the title that was bestowed upon him. There is a good reason that the series is titled Falcon and not Captain America and the Winter Soldier. The first image is actually interesting, as it is the first time we see Sam try to pull it out of the tree. We got a lot of short snippets of him practicing, so either he underestimated his strength or Bucky was mean enough to throw it into the tree to prove a point.

    There is a fun detail if you take a close look at Bucyk holding the gun in the final image. His real fingers are sticking out of the metal hand, so these images might not have been touched up yet. It’s crazy to think that we only have two more weeks of WandaVision to go before we near the next entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I cannot wait to see if they start exploring the vast history of the iconic Captain America shield.

  • Wyatt Russell’s Captain America in Distress in Latest ‘Falcon and The Winter Soldier’ Teaser

    Wyatt Russell’s Captain America in Distress in Latest ‘Falcon and The Winter Soldier’ Teaser

    It’s 30 days before the first episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier drops and so we’ve been treated to a new teaser. We’ve seen a lot of the material before, but there are a few new shots. In one new noteworthy image, Bucky and Sam appear to part ways after the shield throwing session that we’ve seen many times. Although I know this was filmed during the first few weeks of production in Savannah, Georgia, I have to wonder if it’s at the beginning of the series or maybe even at the end. They made peace with each other and found their places in this new world.

     

     

    Another image of note is what appears to be John Walker, who is played by Wyatt Russell, decked out as the new Captain America. Something seems wrong though, as he’s kneeling and grasping his head. The shield itself seems a bit battle-damaged and scorched at this point too. Could it be that Mr. Walker is feeling the pressure of his new position as the Star-Spangled man? Or is something much more sinister going on in his head?

     

     

    Further interesting evidence that not all is right came to me when I realized that the same location was revealed in other trailers and clips for the show. Bucky and Sam are seen leaving in a rush, without Walker. In a clip, Sam is holding the shield, while in another he is throwing it in what seems to be the same location. These scenes, to my knowledge, were filmed at the Pullman Rail Yard in Atlanta in late 2019/early 2020. You may also recall Sebastian Stan posting an image from the same location around that time.

     

    We are a month away from the series release, so we are going to get a lot more teases for the series. If you are interested, you can check out the latest teaser below:

  • New ‘THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER’ Trailer Smashes 24-hour Record

    New ‘THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER’ Trailer Smashes 24-hour Record

    Sunday’s trailer for the Disney Plus streaming series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is now the most viewed trailer for a streaming series and it blew the previously held record away. The new spot had 125M views in the first 24 hours, more than doubling the previous record of 53M which was held by another Marvel Studios project, WandaVision.

     

    The marketing approach for the series seems sure to capture the attention of younger audience and is, in some ways, reminiscent of the way Marvel Studios marketed Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The new trailer gave away very little about the plot of the series, but showcased some serious action and the bright, flashy lights of Madripoor while keeping the focus on the strained relationship between the two series leads that fans loved in Captain America: Civil War. The series is set to debut on Disney Plus on March 19th.

    Marvel Studios The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is under 6 weeks away from debuting on Disney Plus and they used the big stage of Super Bowl LV to give us a new look at the action-packed streaming series.

    Our first look at footage from the series came during the 2020 Super Bowl and we saw the first full trailer just about 2 months ago but this new trailer REALLY puts the focus on Sam and Bucky’s relationship and gives us our first idea about what it is Zemo is up to!

  • Topps Cards Reveal John Walker’s Captain America Look

    Topps Cards Reveal John Walker’s Captain America Look

    A new digital card collection featured in the MARVEL Collect! by Topps® app has unveiled new looks for Falcon, Bucky, Zemo, and Wyatt Russell‘s John Walker.

     

    Unlike the other three, Walker is set to make his MCU debut this March on the Disney+ series, with a shield in hand (notice how it is heavily featured on his card). Even if Steve Rogers meant to pass on the Captain America shield, along with the mantle itself, to Sam Wilson at the end of Avengers: Endgame, the government seems to have a very different opinion on the matter. John Walker is given that role, agreeing to the oversight the added responsibility comes with, and the events of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will show us if he’s the right man for the job or not.

    The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is set to stream on Disney Plus beginning March 19th.

  • Kevin Feige Willing to Experiment with Episode Lengths for Marvel Studios Disney Plus Series

    Kevin Feige Willing to Experiment with Episode Lengths for Marvel Studios Disney Plus Series

    The length of the episodes of Marvel Studios Disney Plus streaming series has been the subject of internet debate for quite some time. With WandaVision’s early episodes all checking in around 30 minutes, it’s clear that somewhere down the line the episodes are going to get longer in order to add up to the 6 total hours of time promised by the studios. In an interview with Collider, Kevin Feige shed some light on how the studio is experimenting with the episode lengths in some of the upcoming series.

    Well, we’re looking a little differently. We’re looking at it as developing them as either six hour-episodes, or nine or 10 half-hour episodes. So, for instance, WandaVision started that way and Falcon and the Winter Soldier as 30 minutes, but because it’s streaming, it’s Disney+, and the rules have blurred over the years, yes. Some can be 23 minutes. Some can be much longer than that. But She-Hulk, for instance, is being developed as 10 30-minute episodes. Some will be longer and some will be shorter. Loki, Falcon and the Winter Soldier is being developed as six 40-50-minute episodes.

    Some of what Feige said confirms things we’ve been hearing for some time, such as She-Hulk’s ten episode first season. However, it’s the first time we’ve heard any info on episode lengths for either The Falcon and The Winter Soldier or Loki, both of which are apparently going to be 6 episodes averaging 45 minutes a piece, giving a total run time of about 4.5 hours, or 2 movie’s worth of time devoted to these characters.
