The Marvel Cinematic Universe is expanding right onto our small screens, and we finally got our first real taste of the upcoming Marvel shows during Disney’s Investor Day on Dec. 10. The megastudio aired a first-look trailer for the upcoming series that featured Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) as they make their super return!
Taking place after Avengers: Endgame‘s world-turning events, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier follows Sam and Bucky on a “global adventure that tests their abilities — and their patience.” For those who might not recall, Steve Rogers gives up the Captain America mantle in Endgame and passes on the shield to Sam, his close friend and constant companion since Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The almost two-minute video shows Sam and Bucky teaming up for a mysterious mission, with the latter seemingly prodding the other about taking up the role left to him by Steve. We get flashes of Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) facing Bucky’s wrath, Sam chasing some unidentified persons flying around, and someone who is definitely not Sam sporting the Captain America costume during a football game.
We have so many questions, but we’ll have to wait until the series premieres in March 2021 to get some answers! Watch the trailer above.
