Marvel releases The Falcon and the Winter Soldier HD poster for the upcoming Disney+ series, showcasing a better look at the concept art. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) team up following the events of Avengers: Endgame. In last year’s culminating movie, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) retired as Captain America, passing on his shield to Sam. Reports indicated Sam Wilson would face pushback on becoming Captain America, which were seemingly confirmed by the casting of Wyatt Russell as John Walker aka U.S. Agent.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was officially confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, with it slated to premiere on Disney+ in Fall 2020. Mackie and Stan were on hand to tease the series, which will also feature the return of Daniel Brühl as Captain America: Civil War villain Baron Zemo. Then at D23, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige additionally confirmed Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) would return, along with Russell’s casting as U.S. Agent. It was also at D23 where The Falcon and the Winter Soldier posters were handed out featuring concept art by Ryan Meinerding, the Head of Visual Development at Marvel Studios. Although photos of the posters made the rounds on social media, Marvel has finally released an official look.
On Earth’s Mightiest Show, the hosts previewed everything coming from Marvel in 2020, including The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which is currently filming. Although the official Marvel web show didn’t reveal any new information about the upcoming Disney+ series, they did debut an HD official look at The Falcon and the Winter Soldier poster. Check it out below.
This poster for the upcoming Marvel series offers slightly different looks at the costumes featured in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier concept art released in the Disney+ Expanding the Universe special. The main difference is that Falcon’s backpack can be seen on the poster. In the upper right hand corner of the poster, there’s also a smaller version of Falcon flying across the Captain America shield design in a nod to Sam Wilson’s future in the MCU. Neither of these Falcon and Winter Soldier costumes have been seen in set photos yet, though Bucky does get something resembling this.
In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier set photos, Stan’s Bucky Barnes appears to be wearing a maroon jacket with a black harness. He’s also got a different arm, that seems to be made of a black metal (likely vibranium) with gold accents. It’s unclear if the maroon outfit is a revised version of this one envisioned by Meinerding for the poster, or if Bucky Barnes will get another new costume in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It’s certainly possible that Bucky has another suit than the one glimpsed in set photos. After all, Sam Wilson is getting a Captain America costume that hasn’t been seen yet. So if Marvel is hiding the new Captain America costume, they may also be hiding a new Winter Soldier costume.
Fans will have to wait until the Fall before seeing what’s next for Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes. But as filming continues on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier fans can at least expect some more sneak peeks of the upcoming Marvel Disney+ series to tide them over until the first footage debuts.
