Disney+ Just Censored ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’

When The Falcon and the Winter Soldier premiered on Disney+ last year, it was notably grittier than its predecessor, WandaVision, which served as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first foray into television.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier — which saw the MCU returns Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) and Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) take on Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman) and the Flag Smashers in a post-Avengers: Endgame (2019) world.

The limited-run show also saw Mackie’s Sam Wilson officially take up the mantle of Captain America from Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), following the brief, but disastrous, tenure of John Walker/U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell).

Now, the powers-that-be at Disney+ have made some changes to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, scrubbing certain violent scenes and replacing them with more family-friendly versions.

Reddit user u/MooninMoulin first noticed the change, writing:

Hi everyone! Was just re-watching Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and something caught my attention. Episode 3, around 37:45, Bucky throws a metal bar at a woman. Back when it aired, the bar went through her shoulder, pinning it to the container; now it just bounces off.

Has this scene also been changed on your side? Does anyone know if there’s a way to switch back to the original scenes? I’m now thinking it’s probable more scenes from this show or others were altered. I hope this is not a case of non-negotiable retroactive censorship on Disney’s part.

Another user, u/Arkham4321 noticed that another scene has also been recently censored:

Just went to that episode and checked. They also edited the scene where Zemo kills the guy who made the serum. https://imgur.com/a/RyG7Ltc

Currently, no other edited scenes have been noted, but fans on Reddit are frustrated and confused by the changes.

This seems like odd timing to censor a Marvel series, with Marvel Studios’ most violent series to date, Moon Knight, due to release tomorrow, March 30, 2022.

Furthermore, Disney+ just added forced parental controls to all accounts due to the collective debut of Netflix’s darker Marvel series — Daredevil, Luke Cage, The Punisher, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and The Defenders.

Neither Disney nor Marvel Studios has issued a statement regarding the alterations to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Marvel Tv Series Gets Its Commercial During The Super Bowl

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney+

What an awesome time to be a Marvel fan! Disney+ just ran a preview during the Super Bowl game of all of the incredible Marvel projects coming to the streaming network and we’ve never been more excited. 

Let’s take a look: 

The Falcon and the Winter Solider

Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, reprise their roles in ’ ”The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,” which finds Falcon and the Winter Soldier teaming up after “Avengers: Endgame.” Emily VanCamp will also return to her role as Sharon Carter. Rounding out the cast is Wyatt Russell who will play John Walker—a character from the comics coming to the screen for the first time. “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” will launch on Disney+ in Fall 2020.

WandaVision

Does this show look awesome or what!? For us, the WandaVision segments were the standout moments of the clip above and have us really excited for the show which is set to debut on Disney+ in the Spring of 2021. During D23 last August, Randall Park, playing the role of Jimmy  Woo called the upcoming show “something totally fresh and weird!”  Kevin Feige echoed this last year saying that the concept would only work as a series and not a movie. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany will be back in their roles as Scarlet Witch and Vision and it’s even been said that Kat Dennings will be reprising her role as Darcy from Thor in the series!

Loki

Earlier this week we announced that pre-production had already started on the Disney+ series Loki which will see Tom Hiddleston resuming his role as the title character. Disney and Marvel are being tight-lipped about plot details for the series but it’s expected to follow the incarnation of Loki from the alternate 2012 timeline that escaped with the Tesseract during the events of Avengers: Endgame.  Time travel is expected to factor heavily in the series with the Asgardian God of Mischief visiting key historical events throughout the MCU. It a was also announced this week that Owen Wilson has signed on for (an as yet unnamed) role in the series.

New Details About Marvel TV Series On Disney+

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney+

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is expanding to Disney+, and at the D23 Expo, we got some more details about some of the shows that are coming to the new streaming service.

“What If…?” is the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first animated series, showing what would’ve happened if key events in the MCU had gone differently. And sure enough, a lot of your favorite stars from the MCU are coming back to reprise their characters, including Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Paul Rudd, Hayley Atwell, Chadwick Boseman, Samuel L. Jackson, Josh Brolin, and more.

Here’s one scenario that was discussed: What if Steve Rogers didn’t get the super-soldier serum that made him Captain America, and instead it went to Peggy Carter?

We also learned slightly more about “Loki,” the series starring Tom Hiddleston in his beloved role from the MCU. The series will be six hours long, though we don’t know how many episodes that will be broken up over. “Loki” premieres on Disney+ in Spring 2021.

A little bit more was declassified about “The Falcon and the Winter Solder,” which sees Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, and Daniel Brühl reprise their roles as Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, and Helmut Zemo. “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” will focus not only on these characters’ pasts, but their lives in the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame. Emily VanCamp will also reprise her role as Sharon Carter, aka Agent 13, as seen in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War. A new character will also emerge named John Walker, though we learned nothing more about them. “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” premieres on Disney+ starting Fall 2020.

And finally, the last TV series mentioned was “WandaVision.” “WandaVision” stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany reprising their roles as Wanda Maximoff (aka Scarlet Witch) and the Vision, respectively. The show will be a half-classic sitcom, half-MCU adventure, evoking the style of television of the 50’s and 60’s. Shooting hasn’t begun yet on the series, but we learned more about casting, as there are more MCU characters joining the series, including Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis (Thor, Thor: The Dark World) and Randall Park as Jimmy Woo (Ant-Man and the Wasp). Kathryn Hahn will also be joining the show as a nosy neighbor. “WandaVision” premieres on Disney+ in Spring 2021.
