The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, the much-anticipated Marvel TV series for Disney+, has begun production, according to a social-media announcement by Anthony Mackie.
Mackie, who has played Sam Wilson (aka The Falcoln) in six Marvel films is set to reprise his role in the series.
He'll be paired with Sebastian Stan, who featured prominently as Bucky Barnes (aka The Winter Soldier) in five films.
The duo were teamed up to hilarious effect in Captain America: Civil War.
The show is set post-Endgame and will likely deal with the fact that Captain America bequeathed his shield to Wilson.
The Falcon and the Winter Solider is a 2021 Disney+ TV series based on various Marvel Comics characters.
Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, the series re-teams Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan in the roles they originated on the big screen. Also returning from the film series is Daniel Bruhl as Zemo and Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter (aka Agent 13). Wyatt Russell also joins as John Walker, better known to Marvel readers as the Captain America replacement U.S. Agent. Carl Lumbly (Doctor Sleep) is also reportedly on board. Speculation is he might be playing Isiah Bradley, the early-model super soldier introduced in the comics series Red, White and Black. Amy Aquino also appears.
Malcolm Spellman of Empire fame is writing the series. Kari Skogland of The Handmaid's Tale is directing.
