The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
 

Empire writer Malcolm Spellman has been tapped to write a limited series for Disney’s streaming service that would center around the Marvel superheroes Falcon and Winter Solider, according to Variety.

The news comes on the heels of recent reports that Disney and Marvel were prepping multiple limited series centered MCU characters who have never had their own standalone movies, a la Iron Man, Captain America and Thor. Loki and Scarlet Witch are also expected to be the subject of their own limited series, which are expected to be between six and eight episodes. That addressed one complaint that has plagued some of Marvel’s Netflix series, which typically offer 13-episode seasons, dragging out the story a few hours too long.

Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan would reprise their MCU characters, who had their breakout moments in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, though Stan appeared as Bucky Barnes in the first Captain America movie. The duo most recently appeared together in Avengers: Infinity War.

Spellman becomes the first writer hired on a Marvel series in development at Disney’s streaming service. He’s represented by CAA and Industry Entertainment Partners.

Huh.

More Winter Soldier? Yeah, sure!

More Falcon? Pfft. Okay, whatever. :tlol: Anthony Mackie is a great actor, but the character is dullsville.

Can be interesting.

Actor Don Cheadle who plays War Machine/Jim Rhodes in the MCU movies recently told brobible.com in an interview that he will be making an appearance in the upcoming Disney+ Falcon and The Winter Soldier series which will star Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson (Falcon) and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier).

Looks okay. Kind of bland. I guess Zemo will be neat?

I think this show is gonna be fun.

That's it, huh?

How's a geek supposed to start his hype engine with just that?

3 out of 5 meh's.

Care to elaborate?

I THINK he means, like... yeah it's cool action shots and funny bits and all, but it's not a ton to go on. Like not even real teasers on what we could sit here and speculate on.

Not everything can, or should be, Wandavision.

Yeah. There were a lot of little jigsaw pieces but none of them lend any hint of the overall picture.

Credit for not spoiling everything, I guess?

It looks kinda Agents of SHIELD-y.

Which makes sense and all, given the budget, but the only flavor of Marvel espionage I'm interested in seeing more of is the Metal Gear Solid-lite stuff from Winter Soldier. Hopefully the actual show leans more in that direction than basic, TV show action.

Omega Red will be in it.

Omega Red is a X-Men character, right?

Yeah, he's a big X-Men villain. I remember him being rumored for one of the Wolverine movies, but it never happened.

So it has begun!

I guess so. In like a week.

I enjoyed the first episode. Good Character post blip episode and the action at the start was great

Watching it now.

Surprised to see in it...even if just as a cameo.
