Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier may be able to start filming again in Prague. The upcoming Disney+ TV show is one of many projects affected by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, shutting down production in March around the time things started to take a turn for the worst. After finishing shooting in Atlanta, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was actually shooting in Prague when the decision was made to put things on hold, and since then it's been unknown when it will resume.

All of Hollywood is in wait-and-see mode as they continue to monitor the situation. Right now, the industry appears to be banking on late summer/early fall for when it will be safe again. For example, Black Adam is hoping to start filming in August or September. However, some countries are opening back up much earlier than that, looking to get movie and TV productions up and running in the very near future.

According to THR, the Czech Republic is opening up their backlots, which means productions can resume so long as they meet "new hygienic standards." Among these regulations are COVID-19 testing every 14 days and keeping the set regularly sanitized. Those traveling to the Czech Republic from other countries will have to show proof of a negative test before arriving, and then will take a second test "within 72 hours of arrival and remain quarantined until they receive a negative result."

Because The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was filming in Prague when the shutdowns were initiated, it could be one of the first movies/TV shows to resume amidst the pandemic. However, that doesn't mean it definitely will. Disney is still in the process of figuring everything out and won't get back to business until they're confident it's safe to do so. Though some places are beginning to loosen restrictions (theaters in Georgia and Texas are open again), some believe this is happening a bit too soon and non-essential businesses should remain closed for the time being. It will be interesting to see if The Falcon and the Winter Soldier moves forward or not. Even though this is a TV show, the cast and crew size is comparable to a blockbuster movie; a lot of people are involved with the series. Disney might be wary of assembling a large group right now, looking to avoid the health risks.

Still, the Czech Republic opening their borders for film crews is an encouraging sign, and a step closer towards something resembling normalcy. Hopefully, this goes well and any productions that do resume there do not encounter any setbacks (i.e. an actor testing positive) that would have industry-wide ramifications. As eager as cinephiles are for new content to be made and come out, the safety of everyone involved with these projects comes first. If the Czech Republic doesn't have problems over the next few weeks, then perhaps The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will pick back up and be able to finish production.
