‘The Falcon And The Winter Soldier’ Reveals Four New Character Posters

After WandaVision, Marvel fans are now waiting for the release of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Just over a week before the six-episode series premieres on Disney Plus, Marvel Studios has unveiled four new character posters, increasing the hype for the much-awaited show.

The posters feature Anthony Mackie as The Falcon/Sam Wilson, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter/Agent 13, and Daniel Brühl as Zemo. The two main characters appear suited and prepared for action in their respective posters while the villainous Zemo appears in his classic purple mask, similar to the one the character donned in the comics.

All set to premiere on March 19, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will highlight the journey of the titular main characters following the events of Avengers: Endgame and will work as a direct sequel to 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. The duo’s abilities and patience will be put to the test after Captain America/Steve Rogers hung his costume and handed over his iconic shield to the Falcon. Fans will get to see whether Falcon is able to take up and honor the responsibility bestowed upon him by his predecessor.

The Falcon first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, fighting along with Captain America and Black Widow to uncover a conspiracy within S.H.I.E.L.D. after the organization is infiltrated by HYDRA. Following the events of the film, Falcon agrees to help track down the Winter Soldier and is even invited to become a member of the Avengers.

This is when the Falcon first crosses paths with Zemo, the Sokovian soldier who loses his family during the battle between the Avengers and Ultron. In Captain America: Civil War, Zemo is on a mission to disband the Avengers and reveals to Iron Man/Tony Stark who is responsible for his parents’ death – Bucky Barnes. This revelation leads to a civil war breaking out among the members of the Avengers. Though he skipped his masked look in the movie, it seems like Brühl will be seen wearing the traditional costume from the comics in his reprisal of the character in the upcoming The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In the comics, his mask gives him the ability to resist psychic attacks.

Sharon Carter, who has also appeared in the Captain America films, will also be making a return. The great-niece of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s founder, Director Peggy Carter, VanCamp’s character has previously helped the main characters of the series. It was revealed that she was one of the characters lost during The Blip, only to be brought back five years later. Fans who may have forgotten these characters’ backstories can revisit their journeys in Marvel Studio’s Legends series on Disney Plus. The episode featuring the Falcon and the Winter Soldier debuted on March 5, whereas Carter and Zemo’s background will be covered in the episode airing on March 12.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier premieres on Disney Plus on March 19, 2021.
