#Winter soldier and falcon series
Other upcoming MCU releases include “Loki,” a Disney+ series launching June 11, and “ Black Widow,” which is set to hit theaters and Disney+ on July 9. In the comics, the next-gen superhero team also includes Kate Bishop (who will be introduced in the “Hawkeye” series), Cassie Lang (who has already been seen in the MCU and will be back in the upcoming “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”) and America Chavez (who will appear in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”). “ WandaVision” introduced Billy (Julian Hilliard) and Tommy Maximoff (Jett Klyne), who in the comics are the heroes Wiccan and Speed, respectively. Eli’s superhero name is the Patriot.Įli is just the latest character with Young Avengers ties to be appear in the MCU. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is an American web television miniseries, based on the Marvel Comics superheroes of the same names. In the comics, Eli is an original member of the Young Avengers who inherits his grandfather’s superpowers after a blood transfusion. In addition to introducing the MCU version of Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly), the show introduces his teenage grandson Eli (Elijah Richardson). Could Torres fix up an old pair of Sam’s wings and take them for a spin in the future? In the comics, he eventually becomes the next Falcon after Sam becomes Captain America. The MCU’s Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez) is the tech-savvy soldier who worked on missions with Sam earlier in the season. That's a small gripe, however, in an otherwise stellar outing that serves as the perfect, palate-cleansing counter to WandaVision's weird, wonderful ride.In addition to seeing the proper passing of the Captain America mantle to Sam, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” introduced a number of characters who have comic book superhero counterparts. While faithful followers will eat up every Easter egg, nod, and callout to what's come before, more casual viewers might find themselves a little lost. If the show stumbles at all, it's in its inaccessibility to newcomers. In fact, some of the series' best moments come not when the characters are battling supervillains, but when they're helping out a family member or friend, or even facing their own inner turmoil. While it contains the key elements we've come to expect from the property, its episodic nature allows it to dig deeper, significantly expanding on characters that were previously overshadowed by the core team of crime fighters. Everything about the show, including - most critically - its heart and humor, will feel comfortably familiar to anyone who's laughed, cried, or cheered during a Marvel film.ĭespite sticking to the franchise's reliable formula, though, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier never feels like a tired retread.
But it's not just the flashy special effects and thrilling battles that have made the jump from the movies to Sam Wilson's and Bucky Barnes' episodic adventure.
This is immediately apparent in the Disney+ superhero series' action scenes: extended, seat-of-the-pants sequences packed with enough polished production values to rival any that have splashed across the big screen.
If Marvel's WandaVision was like a fancy, gourmet meal containing some ingredients you couldn't quite pronounce, then The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is akin to a heaping pile of comfort food just begging to satisfy your cravings.
