The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Try Defining Their Relationship
So that now makes it 13 days until Disney+ and Marvel Studios' Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan-starring The Falcon and the Winter Soldier looks to clear the high bar of creative quality set by the recently-ended WandaVision, it seems like the perfect time for a new teaser. While it will be tough to compare what appears to be a more summer blockbuster/spy thriller-like adventure to the reality-altering action we've just been privy to, we're interested to see if the series is able to bring anything new to the genres it's embracing.
In the newest teaser "Coworkers," Sam and Bucky are still trying to define their relationship- but no matter what they call it, they both can agree on one thing. They look damn good doing it:
Marvel Studios' "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier" stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson aka The Falcon, and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier. The pair, who came together in the final moments of 'Avengers: Endgame,' team up on a global adventure that tests their abilities—and their patience. Directed by Kari Skogland with Malcolm Spellman serving as head writer, the six-episode series also stars Daniel Brühl as Baron Zemo, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter, and Wyatt Russell as John Walker.
Recently, series writer Derek Kolstad offered some additional insight into what viewers can expect from the live-action series. First up, Kolstad is excited at the prospect of taking two characters many people view as "supporting" and giving them a chance to shine- using the "distinguished competition" as an example. "Here's what I'll say: growing up, everyone would give someone like Robin shit. But Robin's pretty badass and became pretty badass in the comics," he explained. "[We're] taking secondary characters and putting them in the primary roles, and [as a result] they're cooler. They're more interesting. There's more humanity, more longing, more suffering, and coming to grips with who and what they are."
As for who viewers should expect to see during the season (aside from the names that have already been announced or rumored), Kolstad teases that some will be very familiar faces- but maybe not always in the way you expect them. "What I will say is that there are characters from the earliest Marvel movies that are coming back," Kolstad revealed. "We're layering them in and reinventing them in a way that's gonna shift the storytelling structure. It's f**king awesome."
