Malcolm Spellman is the mind behind Disney+’s biggest hit to date, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” (at least according to third-party sources, Disney won’t release internal viewing statistics). You can imagine his internal frustration, however, over a recent trade industry article that suggested that because he wasn’t given the traditional “showrunner” title (he’s credited as head writer), his contributions were overshadowed by Marvel Studios’ creative executives.

Anthony Mackie who recently starred in Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier became the beloved new Captain America in the series. The actor's character of Sam Wilson was termed as the 'deserving' successor to Steve Roger's Captain by fans but it seems Mackie's kids haven't been far too thrilled about the same.

“We knew from the beginning we wanted to position this as a very, very modern superhero show,” said Malcolm Spellman, creator, executive producer and writer of the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which sees Sam Wilson/Falcon and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier team up on a global adventure.

The Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier took the top spot in Nielsen’s streaming rankings for the week of April 12-18, the week the Marvel stand-alone series debuted the fifth of its six-episode Season 1. The No. 1 finish was the first for Disney+ on the typically Netflix-dominated charts since Disney/Pixar’s Soul pulled off the feat back in December.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, to promote his upcoming series Solos, Anthony Mackie spoke candidly about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. *SPOILERS ALERT* The Falcon and the Winter Soldier featured Dora Milaje in a few sequences, especially Ayo (Florence Kasumba) along with a flashback Wakanda scene featuring Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan).

Marvel series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier wrapped up its first season recently and it has been receiving a lot of praises from fans. The show unveiled Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson as the new Captain America and it turned out to be an emotional moment for many to see a Black character take on the Cap's mantle.

Many of us enjoyed “Falcon & Winter Soldier,” but according to head writer Malcolm Spellman, a major superhero cameo was nixed by Marvel brass. The series had many things going on between social commentary of being black in America and exploring the exploitation of black citizens at the hands of the American government, highlighted directly with Isaiah Bradley, the black Captain America that the government hid from the public.

*SPOILERS ALERT* The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Ep 6, which was the finale episode of the popular Disney+ series, saw Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) finally find family in Sam Wilson aka Falcon aka the new Captain America's (Anthony Mackie) fam. Moreover, we also see Bucky taking Sam's advice and making amends for those he did wrong as Winter Soldier.

Marvel Studios is taking full advantage of the Disney+ streaming platform when it comes to the release strategy of the recent MCU TV series, “WandaVision” and “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.” The studio begins by releasing new episodes weekly, keeping the conversation for each series going for weeks.

Having mixed feelings about Disney+‘s “The Falcon And The Winter Solider” for any reason? Well, Marvel and Kevin Feige don’t share that view if you do. The series just ended today, but Marvel Studios is already planning a continuation of “The Falcon And Winter Soldier” story in a “Captain America 4.” What’s more, in a big vote of confidence, they’re retapping Malcolm Spellman, the showrunner and head writer of ‘Falcon & Winter Solider’ to write and develop the movie.
