The Falcon and the Winter Soldier trailer is here and we already love the dynamic between Falcon and Bucky
Super Bowl IV was pretty average in terms of commercials and trailers, but one Marvel series did steal the show with its new full-length trailer: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Slated to arrive this March, the series had yet to release any extended footage, and fans have been eagerly awaiting more details about Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes’ new story. And although the Super Bowl trailer doesn’t give a ton of information in regard to the show’s overall plot, it does touch on the dynamic between its two leads — something that looks to be a highlight of the upcoming Disney+ series.
It’s no secret that both Sam and Bucky have plenty of sass and sarcasm to go around, and the new footage suggests they’ll be aiming it at each other. It seems Bucky will to need to get used to the new Captain America and his tendency to dive into a fight without a plan. (The good news is, we already love him, and that’s really all that matters.)
Watch the official trailer for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier here:
As far as what the trailer does reveal about the plot, it seems the main villain intends to tear down superhero society. “Superheroes cannot be allowed to exist,” he says early in the trailer. The brief shot of him — along with the newly released poster for the series — seems to confirm that the Big Bad of the series will be Baron Helmut Zemo (Daniel Brühl), who first appeared in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War.
It seems the villain has accumulated a following since Civil War, so there may be quite a few new villains to contend with as well. On top of that, although the trailer doesn’t touch on it , we know that the series will see the U.S. government pushing back against Sam Wilson taking up Captain America’s shield.
Sam and Bucky have a lot to overcome in this new series, so they might need to get it together (and learn to work together) in order to succeed. We’re going to enjoy watching that journey unravel, though — especially with all the back and forth between them.
