However, it will only be six episodes long, and today at his Disney Marvel ’s first TCA , Kevin Feige explained why. Let’s just says, it sounds like it comes to budget. “Anthony Mackie and Sebastien Stan are spectacular actors which we felt we had to explore their stories and their backstories, or personal stories enough as Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes. So it was always the thought we’d like to learn more about both of them. In the little interactions they had with each other in Winter Soldier and Civil War… as friends of a mutual best friend in Captain America. We thought we’d have a fun dynamic, if we ever had that opportunity, we’d watch a whole show with the two of them and Disney+ gives us that opportunity. “Six hours is what we landed on as the best way to tell our story. Six hours, whether it’s six … [Read more...] about Why ‘Falcon & The Winter Soldier’ Is Only 6 Episodes: Marvel Boss Kevin Feige At TCA

The Rope: The Forgotten History of Segregated Rock & Roll Concerts
A version of this story was originally published in November 2017 and has since been updated. One night in the late 1950s, the Flamingos ’ bus pulled up to a concert hall in Birmingham, Alabama, and a row of 30 to 50 police officers holding rifles and billy clubs was waiting for them. The cops escorted the six-member doo-wop group, famous for “I Only Have Eyes for You” and “The Ladder of Love,” to its dressing room and gave strict instructions: As black performers, they were to make eye contact with only the black fans, who were confined to the balcony, and not with whites on the floor. “It was ridiculous,” recalls Terry Johnson , a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame–inducted group. “The cops were up there making sure we did not look at any white person. It was a rule when we came in: ‘I don’t want to see any of you darkies looking at the white women out there. If you do, your ass is mine.’ Cruel things like that.” The Flamingos, like all African American performers … [Read more...] about The Rope: The Forgotten History of Segregated Rock & Roll Concerts
WandaVision Season 2 Not Planned Yet, But Marvel Boss Kevin Feige Won’t Rule It Out
Fans holding out hope for WandaVision season 2 may want to temper expectations. Though that doesn't mean hope needs to be abandoned altogether. Marvel head Kevin Feige recently commented on the possibility of continuing the show during a Q&A session at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour. For now at least, the Disney+ series is going to be a one-and-done. During the Q&A, Kevin Feige addressed the possibility of WandaVision season 2. While there are no current plans, the executive said "I've been at Marvel too long to say a definite no or yes to anything, in regards to another season of WandaVision." He then added that Elizabeth Olsen "will go from WandaVision to the Doctor Strange film." Feige is referring to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , the upcoming sequel that is currently filming. It has been known for some time that Olsen's Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch will factor into the movie, though the nature of her role remains … [Read more...] about WandaVision Season 2 Not Planned Yet, But Marvel Boss Kevin Feige Won’t Rule It Out
