Here's every member on The Falcon and The Winter Soldier cast as well as every returning Marvel character set to appear in the show. A few years ago, the announcement of Disney's streaming service came with the promise that new Marvel Cinematic Universe content would come exclusively to the platform. Subscribers had to wait for more than a year after Disney+'s launch to see the first MCU show, WandaVision. After the conclusion of a fascinating story that spotlights some underutilized characters, Marvel is looking to repeat that success with The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

Written by Malcolm Spellman and directed by Kari Skogland, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was officially announced at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019. The show picks up after the events of Avengers: Endgame and will see both Falcon and Winter Soldier adapt to a very different life. Avengers: Endgame's ending saw them both return after five years due to Thanos' snap. Shortly thereafter, their mutual best friend Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) went back in time to grow old with Peggy Carter, only to return as pass the Captain America mantle and shield to Falcon. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier takes place six months after this moment and brings Sam and Bucky back together for a brand new adventure.
