More action from Marvel Studios is scheduled to debut at Disney + next month with the premiere of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which will be an action-packed comedy of friends focusing on Captain America’s closest friends headbanging and saving the world. And because the series will be closer to the action typical of the Marvel cinematic universe than fans are currently seeing WandaVision, it stands to reason that it will have an intermediate rating to explain the violence and humor normally found in a Marvel movie. And apparently, this is exactly what we are going to achieve.
A new TV spot for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier reveals that the Disney + series will be evaluated by TV-14 LV, taking into account the language and violence commonly included in Marvel programs. Check out the 1-minute promotion below:

Judging by the comments of the cast and crew, it seems The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will have a tone closer to Captain America: The Winter Soldier than any other Marvel project since the film was released. While the series explores natural chemistry between leading actors Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, it also leans heavily on espionage.
“We haven’t lost that feeling of security and espionage,” said Mackie in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “It still looks like you’re in a Philip K. Dick novel [or] a Tom Clancy film. But at the same time, it’s Sebastian and me, and we’re idiots, so you get more of us by being ourselves. “
Principal editor Malcom Spellman echoed those sentiments. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to inherit characters like Sam and Bucky and to take them on a new adventure.
“There is real chemistry there,” added Spellman. “Imagine starting to write the first chapter of a series of police officers, knowing exactly what the pace and flavor of the two characters is before you even begin.”
The series will likely reveal who will be the next Captain America after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Spellman added that this would be an important event in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as for fans around the world.
“The idea of whether or not a black man could become Captain America seemed like a great time and a great opportunity,” said Spellman.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is scheduled to debut at Disney + on Friday, March 19.
