“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is a live-action television series based on Marvel Comics characters and is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It was created by Malcolm Spellman and aired on the Disney+ streaming service. The series premiered in March 2021 and consists of six episodes.

The show follows the events after the events of “Avengers: Endgame” and explores the journeys of two iconic characters from the MCU:

  1. Sam Wilson / Falcon (played by Anthony Mackie) – Sam is a former Air Force pararescue airman and a skilled combatant. He is also known as Falcon, using advanced flight technology and winged suits to aid in missions. After the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” Sam is given Captain America’s shield but struggles with the weight of the responsibility.

  2. James “Bucky” Barnes / Winter Soldier (played by Sebastian Stan) – Bucky is a former brainwashed assassin and best friend of Steve Rogers / Captain America. After his past actions as the Winter Soldier, Bucky seeks redemption and tries to make amends for his past.

The series explores themes of identity, legacy, and the consequences of the blip (the five-year period when half the population disappeared and returned) on the world. It delves into the complexities of being a superhero and tackles issues such as racism, nationalism, and the impact of trauma on the characters’ lives.

The plot revolves around a new government-sanctioned Captain America named John Walker (played by Wyatt Russell) and the global emergence of a group known as the Flag Smashers, who seek to bring back a world without borders following the return of billions of people after the blip. Sam and Bucky team up to stop the Flag Smashers and confront their own struggles and doubts in the process.

“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” received positive reviews for its action sequences, character development, and relevant social commentary. It is part of Marvel’s Phase Four slate of projects, continuing the interconnected storytelling of the MCU and setting the stage for future adventures.
