The Falcon and the Winter Soldier given the green light to resume production

Production for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was put on hold in May

There is some good news for Marvel fans, as the Studios’ upcoming Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, has been given the green light to commence production once again from the middle of May.

The series was one of the first major productions to halt filming in Prague last March due to the COVID-19 outbreak that paused many productions globally due to the pandemic. There was a lot of concern as to whether the slated release date of 2020 for Disney+ may be put back  after losing so much time filming, however, the Czech Film Commission has announced in a new press release revealing that international productions will now officially be allowed to return to the Czech Republic from mid-May. 

In a statement, the Czech Film Commissioner Pavlina Zipkova ( as reported via Deadline), shared all returning foreign actors and crew members “must show a negative test when leaving their country, a measure that, according to the latest reports, airlines will also begin to require for all their passengers.”

She further added, “Within 72 hours of arrival, they will undergo a second test, and remain quarantined until they receive a negative result. The result is usually received the next day. In this way they can avoid the 14-day quarantine, which would severely impact film budgets.”

In addition, the Czech Film Commission has also clarified that although the public will still need to abide some movements restrictions from May 1, “actors and performers are exempted from wearing a mask in the exercise of their profession. Instead, PCR testing will be required every 14 days. This condition will also be lifted on the basis of further development.”

Anthony Mackie (Point Blank) and Sebastian Stan (I, Tonya) will be reprising their roles as Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes respectively. Joining them are MCU veterans Daniel Bruhl and Emily VanCamp, who are set to return as Helmut Zemo and Sharon Carter.
