The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is Marvel’s newest show after a successful run of WandaVision. The show will slot right into WandaVision’s Friday night spot, pairing Marvel heroes Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) in a globe-trotting, buddy comedy adventure. First episode of the series finally arrived last Friday on Disney Plus.
However, unlike WandaVision, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier didn’t premiere with two episodes on the same day. It’ll release an episode a week, with the sixth and final arriving in the third week of April. While this is fewer episodes than the Wanda and Vision sitcom, the expected episode runtime gives you a little extra, varying from 40 to 50 minutes.
