The showrunner for Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier says that the series builds upon what Black Panther started. Malcolm Spellman is the man leading the Disney+ show. He talked to TV Line about the upcoming MCU project and pointed out how much diversity came into play when crafting this narrative. It is no secret that for a lot of viewers, T’Challa’s story was a major moment of seeing themselves represented on screen. Spellman is hoping that Falcon and the Winter Soldier can offer fans the same sort of experience. Previous reports and interviews have indicated that the show will grapple with the idea of what a Black Captain America would mean. None of that can happen without the proven blockbuster success of Ryan Coogler and Chadwick Boseman’s film though. The showrunner was very adamant about how he had seen Black Panther’s reach in his own personal life.
