AceShowbiz – New details about Marvel Studio’s upcoming TV series on Disney+ are finally here. CEO Bob Iger confirms on a call with investors during the company’s first quarter earnings report that “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and “WandaVision” are set to arrive in the coming months.
Iger reveals that “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, which stars Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, will debut in August. Meanwhile, “WandaVision” is set premiere in December. However, Iger doesn’t mention details about “Loki“, though previous report said that the Tom Hiddleston-starring TV show will greet fans in 2021.
In addition, Iger talks about the release date for the sophomore season of “The Mandalorian“. The “Star Wars” live-action TV series, which became a massive hit for the streaming service, has been confirmed for an October release date.
In related news, Disney+ amassed 28.6 million Disney+ subscribers in the first three months since it was lauched on November 12, 2019. “We had a strong first quarter, highlighted by the launch of Disney+, which has exceeded even our greatest expectations,” Iger said on the call.
This arrives after the streaming site offered fans the first footage of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, “WandaVision” and “Loki” through a Super Bowl ad. The video opened with Falcon a.k.a. Sam Wilson (Mackie) launching Captain America’s signature shield. The new footage also sees Wilson and Stan’s Bucky Barner a.k.a. Winter Soldier reuniting. It also seems that villainous character Zemo, who appeared in “Captain America: Civil War“, makes a return on the upcoming show.
In the very short video, the three shows are spliced into one. It opens with Falcon a.k.a. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) launching Captain America’s signature shield. The new footage also sees Wilson and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barner a.k.a. Winter Soldier reuniting. It also seems that villainous character Zemo, who appeared in “Captain America: Civil War”, makes a return on the upcoming show.
Later, fans are given a glimpse of Wanda a.k.a. Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) having a sweet moment with each other in a house. “WandaVision” was previously described at Disney’s biennial D23 convention as a surreal sitcom-like take on their relationship.
Concluding the show is a look at “Loki” featuring Hiddleston reprising his role as the titular character. “Loki” unfortunately has the shortest duration in the already brief video. It remains to be seen where the scene is taken but Loki can be heard saying, “I’m gonna burn this place to the ground,” while creepily smiling.
