We’ve got some sad news for Marvel fans. One of the most hotly anticipated Marvel titles is “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” which was slated to be the first Marvel series to debut on the new Disney+ streaming network. The project has been generating a ton of bus with rumors circulating that Falcon may in line to be the next Captain America. However, according to a recent piece in The Verge the project which was expected to drop in August has been delayed.
The delay comes after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the show to stop production in May. Disney reportedly doesn’t have a new premiere date but plans to share updates soon. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was set to pick up where Avengers: Endgame ended. With Steve Rogers’ Captain America seemingly retired, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) picks up the shield instead.
Although we don’t have a full-length trailer for the show, Disney did debut a brief teaser in February during the Super Bowl. The trailer, which also gave us our first looks at Marvel Studios’ two other Disney Plus series, WandaVision and Loki, showed Sam practicing using the shield. It also teased Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) reuniting with Zemo. The character, played by Daniel Brühl, first appeared in Captain America: Civil War back in 2016.
Production on “Falcon and Winter Soldier” hadn’t exactly been smooth prior to coronavirus either. Back in January, the show was due to shoot in Puerto Rico, but was forced to postpone shooting after the commonwealth was hit by a series of powerful earthquakes.
The latest news is not the first delay coming from Marvel and Disney due to COVID-19. While it’s still unclear whether WandaVision — another Disney+ series from the Marvel Cinematic Universe — will keep its newer December 2020 release date, both Black Widow and The Eternals‘ theatrical releases have been delayed from May 1 to November 6 and from November 6 to February 12, 2021, respectively.
