Marvel has confirmed that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will premiere on Disney+ in 2021. Anthony Mackie, who played Sam Wilson/Falcon, and Sebastian Stan, who portrayed Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are set to return.
This official expansion of the MCU will have ramifications within the larger film and TV franchise, which differs from the previous Marvel shows. Additional MCU cast set for the show include Daniel Brühl as Zemo and Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter. Chris Evans is also expected to appear in the series.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was initially supposed to be the first Marvel show on Disney+. It was scheduled to premiere in August 2020, but production was shut down for months, due to COVID-19. This announcement is the first official update in months, though an exact date was not given yet.
