The first trailer for Disney+’s upcoming Marvel series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has finally arrived… along with a fast-approaching premiere date.
A lot of good-natured bickering and bonding happening between Steve Rogers’ old best friend and his new best friend, as Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson navigate a brand new world without Steve’s iteration of Captain America there to lead the way. We don’t see Sam take up the iconic circular shield—the end that we must assume this season is building toward—but we do see plenty of iconography associated with the Cap mantle, and a lot of dour talk about the baggage said mantle comes saddled with.
We also get a glimpse of Baron Zemo, who has already been announced as the series baddie, having first appeared as the antagonist that split the Avengers apart in Captain America: Civil War. Zemo’s reappearance is never good sign, but hopefully Bucky and Sam are close enough at this point that Zemo won’t be trying to pull the same scheme twice. (They were technically on the same side in Civil War anyhow… if you don’t count the old-Hollywood romantic scathing banter they’re constantly engaged in.)
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will premiere on Disney+ on March 19th, 2021.
You only misspelt “Soldier” the first two times you mentioned the title…
@1: Typos fixed!
Now kiss.
One thing I wonder is whether any of the characters are gonna address Zemo’s role in the events of Infinity War and Thanos’ rampage.
Yes, Zemo didn’t give Thanos the Stones or the Gauntlet. But by orchestrating the Avenger Civil War, Zemo left Earth defenseless and open to hostile attack — and despite knowing the threats out there and how vital the Avengers were. Thanos almost certainly wouldn’t have won and done the Snap had the Avengers been united and on their game.
In the end, Zemo’s self-centered crusade to avenge his family instead got countless people killed on Earth and across the cosmos. I hope somebody calls him out on it in-story.
So far, this is the show that interests me the least. The others seem to have interesting premises or spins but I don’t know…I guess maybe I’m a little burned out on just typical ‘fighting’. Then again, Civil War isn’t actually one of my favorite Marvel movies – I usually have to break it up when I watch it.
I knew Zemo looked familiar, I just couldn’t place it. Well, it will be interesting to see what comes of that and where is story goes. @@.-@, same.
