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.”

Final Word
If you love movies, then you already know that Atlanta is ground zero for movie-making and production. The state has a generous tax subsidy that attracts some of the top films in the business.
That ecosystem is why there’s so many film jobs available in Georgia right now (Wanna get cast as an extra?). And with MCU’s Phase Four in production, there won’t be a shortage for a while.
