Marvel Studios has released a new batch of hi-res images from the upcoming Disney+ series
With The Falcon and the Winter Soldier less than one month from debuting, Marvel and Disney are beginning to promote the series. With WandaVision still in full swing and ending just before the next MCU series arrives, the studio won't be able to wait to highlight their subsequent Avengers: Endgame follow-up. Instead, they've begun sharing more and more looks at the show, and the latest images reveal yet another new character.
A number of the photos highlight scenes glimpses in the Super Bowl trailer that finally gave fans a proper look at the show, which will see Sam Wilson's Falcon and Bucky Barnes' Winter Soldier reluctantly team up to protect Captain America's legacy. In doing so, they'll face an even more radicalized Helmut Zemo, a group known as the Flagsmashers and U.S. Agent, the government's answer to Cap. And in the end, one character will wield the shield.
Following Steve Rogers bequeathing him the vibranium shield in Endgame, Sam is seen holding the weapon and symbol in the images. It seems all but certain that he'll end up as the new Captain America, but he's not the only one vying for the mantle. The final image, however, gives us our first glimpse at a new character: Sam's sister, Sarah. The behind-the-scenes shot shows Anthony Mackie with Adepero Oduye, who is believed to be playing Sarah Wilson, Sam's sister in the comics. Between the pair is series director Kari Skogland, who's long worked in the action and genre television world on shows like Fear the Walking Dead, Once Upon a Time and Marvel's The Punisher.
Along with the trailer and these new photos, Marvel recently released additional footage from the series. With the show right around the corner, expect better looks at Zemo, U.S. Agent and all of the additional new and returning Marvel Comics characters coming to the show.
Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) team up in a global adventure that tests their abilities -- and their patience -- in Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
Directed by Kari Skogland, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier stars Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Emily VanCamp, Wyatt Russell, Noah Mills, Carl Lumbly and Daniel Brühl. The series premieres March 19 on Disney+.
