The Atlanta-filmed The Falcon and the Winter Soldier streams on Disney+ on Friday, March 19, 2021. WandaVision aside, the movie is the first big-budget series since Endgame.
Anthony Mackie stars as Sam Winston (the Falcon) and Sebastian Stan plays Bucky Barnes (the Winter Soldier) set in the Cinematic Marvel Universe (MCU).
In this article, we’ll explore everything you need to know about The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, including how you can watch it for free.
What Is The Falcon And The Winter Soldier?
The Falcon And The Winter Soldier is a six-episode Marvel Studios series based on two prominent characters associated with the Avengers.
Like all superhereo movies, the plot delves into the fight of good vs. evil, but this one also examines patriotism and nationalism in modern times.
A major plot point is also who will be the next Captain America. The U.S. Army wants to groom Agent John Walker as the heir apparent, although the Falcon, in possession of Cap’s shield, has other plans.
Where Was The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Filmed?
The majority of the scenes from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were filmed in metro Atlanta, specifically at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville just outside Georgia’s largest city.
Additional scenes were filmed in Prague, Czech Republic in the fall of 2020, and some other places.
Production was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and resumed about six months later under strict safety protocols. The production code for the film was Tag Team.
The series, which is expected to be a big hit, was written by Malcolm Spellman.
The series picks off right where Endgame left off in 2019 and has continuity with the MCU. Mackie, speaking to Reuters says the series tackles some of the uncertainty after the blockbuster movie.
“The biggest question is ‘What is the new normal post-blip?’,” Mackie told Reuters. “Everyone is trying to figure out how they fit back into society. So that’s the big question that’s answered.”

Did you get your last stimulus check? Because another one is on the way.
The Biden Administration’s nearly $2 trillion coronavirus relief plan has been approved. That means a third stimulus check is coming for most Americans.
The relief package being floated in government circles — the American Rescue Plan — includes stimulus money that can help needy Americans. The plan passed with zero Republican support, but because the Democrats were able to get a simple majority, we have a package.
But let’s get to the good stuff: When is your stimulus coming? We’re going to tell you that and more.
Third Round Of Stimulus Checks: Everything You Need To Know
Government cash has been distributed to Americans in waves since the coronavirus pandemic began last March. Not only is the money needed to shore up the economy, but regular Americans are struggling to find work as unemployment numbers start to creep up again.
It’s understandable that you’d have some questions about the new stimulus checks and we’re going to answer them. Here is everything we know about the third stimulus checks.
1. How Much Will The Third Stimulus Check Be?
Because the IRS and Treasury Department facilitated sending out the $600 at the beginning of the year, the third round of stimulus checks is for $1,400.
For those keeping score, that’s a total of $2,000 in government help, which many nations across the globe have committed to on a monthly basis.
2. When Will The Stimulus Checks Arrive?
While the political wrangling often takes days in Congress, the actual process of getting that money into the hands of Americans will be swift.
Hours after the relief package was approved by President Biden, the White House said it would be making its way to American bank accounts in days.
Of course, that won’t be the case with everybody. If may be months before the payments arrive, analysts say.
3. What’s Taking So Long?
The IRS has gone on record to say that their online systems have been overwhelmed when stimulus checks are involved. The truth is that for all Americans to get paid, it’s going to take some time.
Congress painstakingly approved a relief package in April 2020 that took weeks to go out. In the last week of the year, U.S. lawmakers freed up more than $900 billion for a stimulus package that gave each Americans $600, and that also took time for some U.S. citizens.
Final Thoughts
If you need help finding out what’s up with your money, go to IRS.gov, the official site of the Internal Revenue Service, and see if they can help you.
With many workers still preparing for layoffs, lawmakers are poised to approve more stimulus money down the road.
