The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Showrunner Credits Black Panther For Creating Opportunities

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s showrunner says that Black Panther really opened the door for other Black heroes. There’s no doubt that Ryan Coogler and Chadwick Boseman set the bar high with their Marvel project. Showrunner Malcolm Spellman is looking to pick up the torch with his upcoming Disney+ series. He spoke to TV Line about how he’s seen Black Panther’s influence in his personal life. A lot of young Black fans just struggled to see themselves on-screen when it came to the genre. Despite there being some attempts in the past, it’s clear nothing grabbed the attention of the general populace like the MCU entry did. Well, the Disney+ era is already upon us and audiences can’t get enough of WandaVision. The stakes have been raised heading into The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and people are going to be expecting a lot. (It’s been quite a run for media that grapples with identity alongside caped heroes over the last couple of years.)
