    AceShowbiz – Bosses at Marvel have decided to pause production on “The Falcon And The Winter Soldier”, “Loki”, and “WandaVision” due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    Earlier this week, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” was put on delay, where it is filming in Eastern Europe, and similar precautions have been put in place on other shows, which will air exclusively on the Disney+ streaming service, reported Variety.
    Disney has also paused production on all of its live-action movies, including the Marvel film “Shang-Chi” and “The Legend of the Ten Rings”, and has made the decision to release various flicks on home entertainment platforms ahead of schedule to encourage fans to self-isolate amid the health crisis.
    On Friday (19Mar20), it was announced that “Frozen II” will be added to the streaming service Disney+ this weekend, three months earlier than planned, to provide “families with some fun and joy during this challenging period”.
    The most recent “Star Wars” movie, “The Rise of Skywalker”, has also been released earlier than planned, likely due to the pandemic.
    It comes as various TV shows and movie productions have been halted due to the Covid-19 situation, with Robert Pattinson’s “The Batman” among the latest films to shut down in London.
    Production was due to move to Liverpool, but the move is being put on hold amid the shut down, with representatives from Warner Bros. telling The Hollywood Reporter: “Warner Bros. Pictures feature production of The Batman will hiatus filming for two weeks beginning today. The studio will continue to monitor the situation closely.”
    Work on various Universal productions, including Chris Pratt’s “Jurassic World: Dominion”, has also been halted, while TV shows including “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, “Late Night with Seth Meyers”, and “The Wendy Williams Show” have been axed.

    Marvel Releases First Look at 'WandaVision', 'Loki' and More in Super Bowl Ad

    [embedded content]

    Fans are rejoiced to have the first-look teaser of the Marvel TV series, which feature characters who were swept away by Thanos in ‘Avengers: Endgame’, that are set to air on Disney+.
    Feb 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Fans are treated to the glimpse of upcoming Marvel TV series on Disney+. Coming in the form of a teaser that was released during the 2020 Super Bowl, the streaming site unleashes the first footage of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, “WandaVision” and “Loki”.
    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 Tom 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.
    Fans are rejoiced to have the first-look teaser of the Marvel TV series with characters who were swept away by Thanos in “Avengers: Endgame”. However, both Marvel and Disney+ have yet to release the information of the shows’ exact release dates.
    So far, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is reportedly set to premiere in August. Meanwhile, “WandaVision” was recently confirmed to air in 2020. As for “Loki”, the show will arrive in spring of 2021.
