Marvel Studios’ Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was supposed to debut this month, but sadly, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, things quickly changed. Leaving the series undated.
With production expected to resume this month, the studio is hoping to get the series all wrapped as soon as possible. Now, thanks to a user on Twitter, they have shared a look at some merchandise for the series that is being sold at a Walmart, which can be seen below.

What does this mean? Well, a company usually begins putting merch out for film/tv projects that are set to release very soon. So, maybe Disney/Marvel are still aiming for a 2020 release after all. It has been heavily speculated that The Falcon and Winter Soldier could still aim for a October/November release, it would be unlikely the debut the series in December as WandaVision is expected to debut then, and I’d find it very hard to believe that Marvel Studios would release two series in the same month, or maybe they push WandaVision back to 2021. It’s tough to speculate nowadays as 2020 has been an unusual year to say the least.
