    Director Shuts Down Claims Bucky Comes Out as Bi on 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier'

    by

    Marvel Studios

    During an interview, Kari Skogland also addresses fans’ theory that Bucky’s aggressive banter with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) also features physical intimacy, saying, ‘It’s really love, right?’

    Apr 29, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Fans of Marvel Cinematic Universe may already be aware of the sentiment that Bucky is a queer icon. The character’s sexual orientation was recently brought into discussion again as some fans believed that a particular scene on “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” backed the theory of him being bisexual. Catching wind of the fan theory, director Kari Skogland shut down the speculations once and for all in a new interview.

    In the said scene, Bucky (Sebastian Stan) was seen talking about the “weird pictures” that he kept seeing on online dating sites. “I mean, tiger photos?” he said, adding, “Half the time, I don’t even know what I’m looking at. It’s a lot.” People assumed that the remark was a clue that Bucky is a bi since people who have been posting tigers in their dating profiles have been predominantly men.

    Of the speculation, Kari told Variety, “I think we just thought of it as an oddity of the times, because he’s so confused by it. Because don’t forget, he’s 106 years old. So he’s just confused by the whole thing.”

    Kari also commented on Bucky’s “tiger” moment, noting that she and Sebastian never actually discussed why Bucky would be seeing tigers on a dating site. “What we were really more trying to display was his complete lack of technical skills, as well as being part of any kind of community,” she explained. “He doesn’t fit. So that was I think more our intention there that try to point to any one particular affinity.”

    During the interview, Kari also talked about how “FAWS” fans noted that Bucky’s aggressive banter with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) also featured physical intimacy. “It’s really love, right?” the director shared. “They love each other – at the end. They don’t love each other at the beginning, but they come to a friendship place where they love each other. So I’m not really sensitive to masculinity as any kind of barrier between that love, or how it should manifest.”

    “I’m completely fluid when it comes to any of that. So there’s no defined sexuality to any of it. So it’s, really, I think, just affection,” Kari stressed.

      'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' Claims Title of Disney Plus' Most-Watched Series Premiere

      by

      Disney+

      Debuting on March 19, the Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan-starring show is said to have drawn more viewers over the weekend than ‘WandaVision’ and ‘The Mandalorian’.

      Mar 23, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” has broken Disney+ records to become the streaming service’s most-watched series premiere.

      The Marvel spin-off, starring Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, debuted on Friday, March 19 and drew more viewers over the weekend than hits “WandaVision” and the two seasons of “The Mandalorian”.

      The site’s bosses have not released specific viewing figures, but confirm the premiere of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is bigger than that of “Wandavision”, which wrapped its first season earlier this month (March 2021).

      Disney bosses have more Marvel content planned for the streamer – “Loki” will drop in June, while “Hawkeye” and “Ms. Marvel” is expected to debut later in 2021.

      In addition to Mackie and Stan, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” also has Emily VanCamp, Wyatt Russell, Noah Mills, Carl Lumbly and Daniel Bruhl in its cast ensemble. Both Mackie and Stan reprise their roles as Sam Wilson a.k.a. Falcon and Bucky Barnes a.k.a. Winter Soldier respectively.

      Directed by Kari Skogland, this MCU series was written by Malcolm Spellman. Its first episode picks up six months after the events in “Avengers: Endgame” that saw Captain America handing his shield to Wilson.

      When promoting the series, Mackie was asked about becoming Marvel’s most prominent Black superhero in the wake of Chadwick Boseman’s passing. “I never thought about the passing of Chadwick being an opportunity for Sam Wilson,” he told The Guardian.

      “Chad and I had a lot in common, being from the south and being classically trained from the theater,” he elaborated. “I think that’s why we grew so much as individuals, because there was an understanding. So, I would like to keep up his legacy as an individual human being and as a man, more than keeping up his legacy as Black Panther.”

      Sebastian Stan: Having Black Captain America Is 'Incredibly Powerful Symbol'

      by

      Disney Plus

      The Winter Soldier depicter explains why his superhero series with Anthony Mackie, ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’, is Marvel’s most relevant show yet.

      Mar 21, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Sebastian Stan believes “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is Marvel’s “most relevant show yet.”

      The actor, 38, appears in the forthcoming Disney+ show as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier and, speaking to GQ Hype, he admitted he had to “find his (character’s) voice” to get into the role.

      Sharing his concerns about having “longer scenes” and “a lot more dialogue” between himself and co-star Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, Stan explained, “Well, in a way it’s the bit that worried me the most. Not as an actor, per se, but as a fan of the character.”

      “Winter Soldier and Falcon have worked together best when they’ve had little to say to one another. We’re good at quips. So, now, what are they going to say to one another?”

        See also…

      “For this show, I had to find his voice, in all senses, and do it in a way that was timely to what is going on in 2021.”

      He continued, “Look, you can’t do a show that explores the title of Captain America without touching on some of the stuff we have seen on the news. In fact, I would argue this is Marvel’s most relevant show yet.”

      “A Black Captain America is an incredibly powerful symbol, for all those reasons we were discussing, but also he was the right man from a character standpoint (to) take the shield, regardless of race.”

      “Bucky wouldn’t be emotionally intelligent enough or mentally stable enough to be able to handle such huge shoes. His moral compass is somewhat questionable too.”

      Stan first appeared as Bucky in “Captain America: The First Avenger” in 2011 but appeared to die at the end of the film. However, in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”, it was revealed Bucky had survived and he went on to appear in various instalments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

      Anthony Mackie Feared 'Falcon' TV Series Wouldn't Be as Good as Marvel Movies

      by

      Disney+

      The Sam Wilson depicter admits he was initially reluctant to take on ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ for fear that the quality ‘would be taken down for television.’

      Feb 28, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Anthony Mackie was apprehensive about starring in forthcoming Disney+ series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”.
      The 42-year-old actor – who plays Sam Wilson / Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series, which is coming to Disney+ next month (Mar21), admits he was initially fearful about taking on the project.
      Revealing he wasn’t sure about taking part in the Marvel series, Mackie shared, “To be honest, I’ve had trepidation from the beginning. I was really afraid of the idea. Working on so many Marvel projects, and seeing the end result and the effect that they have on people, I was afraid that the quality of the production would be taken down for television.”
      “I was afraid that you can’t do things on television you can do in theatres. Seeing people’s reactions to Infinity War and Endgame in the theatres, and hearing the connection that the audience members have with these characters … that’s every actor’s dream, to affect an audience and expose them to a different way of looking at culture and the world around us.”

      “I was really afraid that I wouldn’t have that opportunity to step out on that ledge like the actors before me had.”
      And Anthony heaped praise on the series’ director Kari Skogland and creator Malcolm Spellman.
      Speaking to the March issue of SFX magazine, he added, “But once we talked, and once they brought on Malcolm and Kari, I knew it was going to be something different.”
      “Kari is a phenomenal leader and Malcolm is an amazing writer. And Kevin Feige promised me that it wasn’t going to be different. He’s not going to tarnish the Marvel brand by trying to just blow out as much content as he could. And I trusted him on that.”
      “They haven’t let me down yet, so I just went along for the ride on faith of their past work. And I was really pleasantly surprised by how great everything turned out.”

      The report emerges online after stuntwoman Vanessa Cater has taken to her Instagram account to share multiple photos and videos which are seemingly taken in the city.
      Oct 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” has continued its filming. Months after the production of the upcoming Disney+ series was shut down due to COVID-19 concerns, it has been reported that the filming has resumed in Prague.
      The report emerged online after stuntwoman Vanessa Cater, who has confirmed she is part of the MCU Disney+ show’s crew, took to her Instagram account to share multiple photos and videos. One of the posts saw the stunt team getting on a plane, while another post featured them having fun while strolling around Prague.
      MsLizzieHill on Twitter reposted them Sunday, October 4 and wrote in the caption, “I read an article the other day saying they’re ‘rumored’ to be back in Prague…. it’s not a rumor. Falcon and Winter Soldier cast and crew ARE together in Prague.”

      In a follow-up tweet, the user continued, “I believe they’re wrapped in Georgia, (so finishing in Prague should be a wrap) but of course I’m not privy to all their changing plans. And again, if you have any questions about how long…direct your eyeballs to this article I wrote several weeks ago.”
      This arrives after cast member Emily VanCamp, who reprises her role as Sharon Carter on the forthcoming series, confirmed that she wrapped filming on the show. In an Instagram post a few days ago, she shared a picture of her chair from the Georgia, Atlanta set. “That’s a wrap! Always love playing this gal #thefalconandthewintersoldier #comingsoon,” so she captioned the pic.

      “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” has Kari Skogland serving behind the lens. It stars Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan as the titular characters. Joining them are Wyatt Russell as John Walker and Daniel Bruhl as Helmut Zemo. Noah Mills and Carl Lumbly have also been tapped to star on the show as undisclosed characters. The series is scheduled to debut on Disney+ in 2021.

      The Captain America spin-off was originally scheduled to debut on the Disney streaming site summer this year but it now has been pushed back indefinitely.
      Jul 18, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Marvel’s “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” series has been bumped from its August (20) debut on Disney+.

      The six-episode series will follow the events of last year’s (19) “Avengers: Endgame”, which featured Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers character passing on the Captain America shield to his sidekick, played by Mackie.
      The series will also feature Daniel Bruhl, Emily VanCamp, and Wyatt Russell.

      'The Falcon And The Winter Soldier', 'Loki' Among Marvel Shows to Halt Production Due to Coronavirus

      by

      Walt Disney Pictures

      Earlier this week, the Sebastian Stan-starring show was put on delay, where it is filming in Eastern Europe, and similar precautions have been put in place on other shows.
      Mar 16, 2020
      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.
