WandaVision
has already reached its endpoint, meaning that another Disney+ show in the form of
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
will be pushed to the forefront.
Set to debut on March 19 on the streamer
, the series will follow the post-
Endgame
lives of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes as they both try to adjust after being victims of The Blip from Thanos.
On top of that, the show will also see the pair
teaming up to face the returning Baron Zemo
while also tackling the legacy of the Captain America legacy along the way. As it is, the plot of
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
is stacked, but there is a high likelihood
that the long-form storytelling strategy of Marvel Studios
will essentially balance all these plot points effectively.

As viewers prepare to shift from a sitcom-inspired MCU show like
WandaVision
to an action-packed globetrotting adventure in
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
, Disney has released two new episodes a little earlier than usual to tide them over while they wait.
TWO NEW EPISODES FOR MARVEL STUDIOS: LEGENDS
Disney+
officially released two new episodes for
Marvel Studios: Legends
, featuring the summary of the heroic journey of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes from the Infinity Saga.
The preview from the streaming service can be seen below.
According to a
previous tweet
seen below from the official Disney+ account, the
Legends
episodes in anticipation for
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
were supposed to be released on March 12. The arrival of these Falcon and Winter Soldier-focused episodes on the day of the
WandaVision
finale was a surprise to many fans.
AN EFFECTIVE PRIMER FOR THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER
Marvel Studios: Legends
was created in order to remind fans of how characters from the upcoming MCU shows have evolved through the years, and this latest batch of episodes should serve as a helpful way to refresh everyone about the motivations of the heroes. The arrival of the episodes might be surprising for some, but it makes sense considering the fact that other installments will also focus on Emily VanCamp’s Sharon Carter and Daniel Bruhl’s Baron Zemo.
From the character’s introduction in
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
, Sam Wilson quickly became a major part of the MCU as Falcon, and his role will only grow due to his new responsibility as the world’s next Star-Spangled Hero.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
has the potential to change Sam in a multitude of ways, and this summary from
Legends
will help fans understand the character’s transformation as Cap when it happens within the main story of the series.
Meanwhile, Bucky Barnes has gone through a lot of trauma and manipulation throughout the Infinity Saga, and the character’s renewed shot in redemption will be explored in
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
. This primer from
Legends
should serve as some sort of closure for the former assassin’s dark past, and an exciting new chapter lies ahead for the character in the upcoming series.
All in all, the focus of Marvel Studios (and MCU fans) right now is towards
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
, and
Legends
should drum up excitement for the pair’s small-screen debut this month.
