All set to premiere on March 19,The Falcon and the Winter Soldierwill highlight the journey of the titular main characters following the events ofAvengers: Endgameand will work as adirect sequel to 2016’sCaptain America: Civil War. The duo’s abilities and patience will be put to the test after Captain America/Steve Rogers hung his costume and handed over his iconic shield to the Falcon.

The Falcon first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2014’sCaptain America: The Winter Soldier, fighting along with Captain America and Black Widow to uncover a conspiracy within S.H.I.E.L.D. after the organization is infiltrated by HYDRA. Following the events of the film, Falcon agrees to helptrack down the Winter Soldierand is even invited to become a member of the Avengers.
This is when the Falcon firstcrosses paths with Zemo, the Sokovian soldier who loses his family during the battle between the Avengers and Ultron.

This revelation leads to a civil war breaking out among the members of the Avengers. Though he skipped his masked look in the movie, it seems like Brühl will be seen wearing the traditional costume from the comics in his reprisal of the character in the upcomingThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
