Falcon & Winter Soldier Image Reveals Alternate Look At Sam Wilson's New Costume

Disney+’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier follows Wilson and Bucky Barnes/the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) in the wake of Avengers: Endgame. As Wilson makes attempts to make a faithful transition from Falcon to Captain America, the U.S. government has its own ideas about who should wield the shield. Before production shutdown in March due to the spread of COVID-19, the series was initially expected to premiere in August. Recent set videos indicate that production has since restarted, giving fans their first real glimpses of Wilson’s Falcon/Captain America look.

Mackie recently shared a photo of himself in full costume on the set of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The post piggybacks off of his co-star Stan’s from earlier this week. The latter showed Stan taking a picture of Mackie, and Mackie’s post appears to be the picture Stan was taking. Captioned, “The boyz are back in town! Having fun while social distancing...” the post celebrates the restart of production and gives fans an alternate look at Wilson’s new costume. Check it out below.

The images shared by both Stan and Mackie are the first real looks fans have gotten at Mackie in his character’s new costume. As evident by the photograph above, Wilson certainly isn’t wearing Captain America’s signature uniform. What Wilson’s wearing appears to be a more patriotic version of Falcon’s usual garb. That said, Wilson won’t be Captain America at the beginning of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Not only is he facing resistance from the government (and presumably the public), but he’s still learning to throw the shield (as seen in the Super Bowl ad earlier this year).

Wilson’s introspective journey from Falcon to Captain America will undoubtedly be a major focus of the Disney+ series. While Wilson received Barnes’ approval at the end of Avengers: Endgame, the pair aren't necessarily friends the same they were with Steve Rogers. So, fans can expect for their chemistry to develop in interesting ways as well. As one of the first shows in the MCU to premiere (if not the first), The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be a critical test for Marvel. Not unlike Wilson’s new costume, the series signals both a literal and metaphorical shift for the characters and universe.
