Yesterday, news broke that the Czech Republic was offering film crews an exemption to the current EU travel ban. The exemption would give Marvel Studios a chance to finally complete filming on their Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio will indeed do that. The report indicates that the cast and crew for the highly anticipated series will head back to Prague, where production was taking place before ultimately being shut down due to the coronavirus outbreak, for a nine-day shoot this Fall. It is unknown if the series plans to stick to its August 2020 Disney+ premiere, but insiders are saying it’s becoming more unlikely.
