As of the end of Friday, which set the stage for several new Marvel Studios projects, WandaVision it’s over, and fans are looking forward to Marvel’s next Disney + release, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The series is two weeks from release, and Marvel whetted fans’ appetites by launching the Marvel Legends episode related to the new series earlier. The show brings back Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Falcon and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / The Winter Soldier. Speaking for Total Movie Stan says that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a much more familiar program for Marvel fans than the magical mysteries of WandaVision.
“I think that WandaVision is a really interesting and different show from Marvel, and it’s tonal in its own world, “says Stan (via The direct) “I think we are also in our own world, in line with what the Captain America films have been – The winter soldier, Civil war – and therefore I think we are taking a much more basic and identifiable approach. “
Stan also mentioned how he finally enjoys having time for his and Mackie’s characters to develop. “It’s a continuation of the story and we finally have enough time with these characters,” he says. “We never had a chance to really understand where they came from and the ability to explore that in the tone of the films, to have the action and now more of the character, has been very good.”
According to a previous interview with Mackie, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier deals specifically with Sam Wilson struggling with Captain America’s legacy. Fans can remember Steve Rogers bequeathing his shield to Sam in Avengers: Endgame.
“See, at the end of Endgame, Sam did not accept the shield. If you remember, he said to Steve [Rogers], ‘It doesn’t feel right because the shield is yours.’ So the show is a long way to find out who Captain America will be, “said Mackie during an episode of The Rich Eisen Show. “Where the shield is going to end. And who’s going to be Captain America, and that nickname is going to come back. Is anyone going to use that nickname again?”
