” will feel similar to movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But there has been one major difference in making the show — the budget.

The mini-series is supposed to cost $150 million, which is a massive sum for a TV show. But that’s still less than half the $350 million price tag — not including advertising — of “Avengers: Endgame.”‘s Actors on Actors issue, Mackie talked to Daveed Diggs about the project, where he reprises his role as the Falcon opposite Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier. Shooting on the series, which is executive produced by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, stopped in March due to the coronavirus.

“We were in Europe, and everything got crazy in Europe first,” Mackie said. “So they shut us down two weeks before the U.S. shutdown. It was really amazing just because I feel like we’re the first Marvel show or movie that had budget constraints. And that was always my [experience], ‘It’s Marvel, we could shoot forever.’ And they’re like, ‘Nah.’ So it was a very different experience from the rest of the movies. But at the same time, it was a lot of fun.

“Those movies are like summer camp,” Mackie continued. “And this show, it was no different. It was the same group of people, coming together to make it work. And so the stunt stuff — everything is just on another level. Every show, every movie, they just push it — they push the envelope so much. So hopefully, knock on wood, we’ll be going back soon.”

When pressed for more details, Mackie revealed that “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” will also look like a Marvel movie. “We’re shooting it exactly like a movie,” he said. “Everybody who had worked on TV before was like, ‘I’ve never worked on a TV show like this.’ The way in which we were shooting, it feels exactly like we were shooting the movie cut up into the show. So instead of a two-hour movie, a six or eight-hour movie.

Sería bueno tener la máscara del soldado del invierno en tiempo de pandemia 😷😷😷😷😷

Don't you threaten me.

I am Groot!

Isn't it the point? A long movies on demand? Aka a show

The ultimate Marvel bro-mance continues.

...however, they look like downgraded TV friendly cleaned up versions of what we saw in the films 🤦🏻‍♂️ Love these two, but it just looks cheesy. Sorry

“6 hour movie” isn’t the positive descriptor you thought it was

officialfye

officialfye Please tell me it’s not going to be 12 episodes that are 30 minutes each...

falconsoldierTV And I’m going to watch it all in one go. This is going to be amazing and I can’t wait to watch it!!

So a Marvel movie.

It’s cause they got that Disney money

Feel like a 6 hour Marvel movie? so it's just like Endgame huh?

Looking forward to seeing this 😎

Somewhere, poor sepinwall is screaming into the void. We’ve lost the war, Alan. We’ve lost. 😔😖

falconsoldierTV I'm good with that! 😊😊

falconsoldierTV

falconsoldierTV But will the episodes be released all at once?

Richieboy_16

So it will be a six hour show that feels like a movie that feels like a tv show?

so it'll be what, 90 minutes?

sepinwall hahaaha

You see I've really got nothing else to do so...

This show is being produced by Marvel Studios not Marvel Television it will be the same quality of MCU Movies if not better.

These type of series are the only things that will bring me back to Disney +

I am ready and waiting patiently.

Shame it’s on Disney Plus. I’m not subscribing to YET ANOTHER service.

Cool. I got time.

Cool

That ain't no problem

I'm so ready for this! 😍

So far not really interested in this movie. More interested in Doctor Strange 2.

I’m ready for a full marathon when it comes out

as long as it's not like the Mandalorian 20 minute'ish foray...

See this is big news, I’m glad I learned this new information. It was my understanding until now that it would feel like an 8 part tv series set in the mcu but I guess I was wrong.

Awesome

We won notevenloaded

I shall be there!

Cannot wait 😭

Looks really awful and unwatchable.

mmmmm if they can get the story together maybe. Covid disrupted a lot more than just the filming.

That seems unnecessary

Can’t wait

Brainiac_13 It will be longer than the SnyderCut 😂

with a budget half of ghostbusters

Tf do you mean feel like a 6 hour movie

Hurry up and show it!

The last couple felt like six hr marvel movues

6 hour movie that feels like a 2 hour movie would probably be what they would want people to feel.

peterjordan100

This made me think of sepinwall

Times have changed I’m jealous of his mask

Damn! Can’t wait.

😬😬😬😬😬😬

So... just like Endgame, then?

We're ready!!!

Really? 😃

Bring it

Can't wait

Oh god, thanks for the warning! 👍👍

Yeeeees

I want a fucking 6 hour marvel movie😍

JessicaBlake98

And imma watch them all in one sitting 💁🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️

NinjaArtWork We aint got nothing but time

Duh

To this I would say - only 6?

Can’t wait for this! Love Stan, love Mackie, love Bucky, love Stan. GIVE IT TO ME.

Sounds exhausting

Something tells me this my be the best out of the marvel shows

Everyone doing the math in the comments about how many episodes is funny cause we all know we're binge watching. So yeah, a six hour movie lol

cant wait for marvel and disney to crash and burn.

🙏

LexcyAlexa hehehe Baka naman

🙆🏾‍♀️🔥!

Means we get either 6 episode of 1hr approx, or 12 episode of 30 minutes

sebastian reading the script for fatws and realizing he finally has more than 5 lines

NirvanaMamdouh شكلنا هنشوف حاجه نضيفه

And that ain't no issue.

I don't know when I'll be able to watch this start-to-finish, but I'm looking forward to it.

RichardsonMira9

Winter soldier style !Yes!

I loved the characters, especially Anthony Mackie as he's a brilliant actor, but I think Marvel dropped the balls. I have no interest in how the MCU progresses after Endgame.

Tom Hiddleston said the same thing with 'Loki'

......Release Date please?

Looking forward to Seeing him as cap

PSYCHED

So it’s long, tedious and overstays it’s welcome. And just when I thought they couldn’t top Endgame....

So basically 8 episodes.

MiddiMidori At least we´d get pee breaks.

Not to take a mile or anything but, we really need more than 6 hours!!! I'd say 25-30 hours would suffice. 😂🙏 Marvel FalconandtheWinterSoldier weneedmore

Like a six hour marvel movie nobody really wants to see 🤷🏼‍♂️ but let’s face it we will watch it anyway.

congrats, anthony.

That's bad, right? 6 hrs of any movie is 4.5 hours too long.
