Everyone might currently be obsessing over Spider-Man: Far From Home and what's to come in MCU Phase Four, but the various Marvel spin-off shows set to arrive on Disney+ are slowly gathering steam. One such series is the upcoming Falcon/Winter Soldier project, which will follow the pair after the events of Avengers: Endgame. (Why Falcon isn't called Captain America at this stage is anyone's guess, but still - Sam and Bucky everyone!)

Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie are set to reprise their roles as Winter Soldier and Falcon respectively, while Empire's Malcolm Spellman is set to write a portion of the series. Both Daniel Bruhl and Emily VanCamp are also set to return as Zemo and Agent 13, with Kari Skogland directing the six-part series.

Now, according to TheWrap, a new writer has joined production - John Wick's Derek Kolstad.

Kolstad wrote all three entries in the Keanu Reeves-fronted franchise, and is currently busy at work scripting the adaptation of Square Enix's Just Cause games. TheWrap don't mention how or if his addition to Falcon/Winter Soldier will impact Spellman's work on the series, but one would assume the latter is still attached.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
