The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is an six-episode American television miniseries created by Malcolm Spellman for the streaming service Disney+. The show is a shared universe within the MCU franchise and is set six months after Sam Wilson was handed the mantle of Captain America by Steve Rogers in the film Avengers: Endgame (2019). The series follows the teams up of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes on a global mission to stop the Flag Smashers, an anti-patriotism group led by Karli Morgenthau who believe the world was a better place during the Blip.
The members of the Flag Smashers are enhanced with a recreation of the Super Soldier Serum.
Canon Overview
Captain America: Racism, Patriotism and Fanaticism
Malcolm Spellman, the creator of the show,[1] chose to focus on the racial and political issues raised by Wilson, a black man, who was handed Captain America's shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame. The series expands on this moment to explore the implications of a Black man being given that mantle. Wilson initially continues to use the Falcon moniker in the series, and Anthony Mackie said the story would portray the shield as being a burden for the character. He added that Wilson is questioning how "a black man [can] represent a country that does not represent him". Wilson eventually takes up the shield to become the new Captain America. Producer Kevin Feige added that a white actor, Wyatt Russell,[2] was specifically cast as the new Captain America as commentary on how the U.S. government would not want a Black man like Wilson to take on that role.
Fandom
A subtext about Bucky and Sam being a couple was widely noticed and circulated by fans, mainly due to scenes where the characters go through couples therapy. Initially Sam/Bucky was the most common slash ship in this fandom, a OTP so far. After the introduction of the character of Helmut Zemo (played by Daniel Brühl), several Bucky Barnes/Helmut Zemo and Sam Wilson/Bucky Barnes/Helmut Zemo fanfics emerged.
In the field of het pairings, we have Bucky Barnes/Sarah Wilson, Sharon Carter/Bucky Barnes and Bucky Barnes/Darcy Lewis (common in the broader MCU fanfic fandom). Femslash relationships are rare like Sharon Carter/Sarah Wilson or Karli Morgenthau/Sharon Carter.
Other standout pairings include reader-insert fics that ships the reader with Bucky Barnes or Helmut Zemo and the gen relationships of Bucky & Sam or Sam Wilson & his sister, Sarah Wilson.
