Filming
Principal photography will begin in October 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Positioning In The Wider MCU
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will take place after the events of Avengers: Endgame. As you can see from the logo at the top of the page, Captain America's shield features predominantly, presumably the ramifications of Cap passing this on to Sam will be explored.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the first television series of Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and will be released in between the Black Widow and Eternals movies.
Synopsis
The synopsis is unknown at this point.
Plot
Although very little is known at this stage, Sebastian Stan has given a couple of brief interviews about the upcoming series.
I think it’s time for Bucky to go out there and have an identity outside of the circumstances that we’ve met him through. So, I don’t know, he might do all kinds of things. He might even go on a date. I don’t know. Scary world out there, you know? Apps, things like that. I don’t know what he’s gonna do. I can’t see him on an iPhone…That last line is perhaps key. Could there be an initial bit of jealousy over the fact that Cap gave Sam the shield and not Bucky? With the two of them burying their difference to battle against Captain America: Civil War star Daniel Bruhl who is returning to play Zemo?
I think it’s gonna be a lot of dealing with Anthony’s character.
Zemo was, of course, the criminal mastermind who drove a wedge between Captain America and Iron Man, and it's been confirmed that unlike Civil War he’ll finally be sporting the character’s iconic purple mask from the comics.
That's everything we know at this stage, but as we hear of any news surrounding the upcoming The Falcon And The Winter Soldier TV series we will update this page, so check back soon.
