First, it was created in Wakanda and there are elements of that in there, too, which we incorporated into how we made the costume in fabrication. It was very important in the development of the super-suit that it didn’t feel like a conglomeration of Captain America costumes that have come before added to the Falcon costume. What do we want to say with this costume? At the end of the day, we felt like it was a much bolder statement to have as much white as we ended up with because it’s so different from everything we’ve seen before. There were discussions about how much white we wanted in the costume versus if we wanted it to feel darker. For that particular costume, there were a lot of different variations. They develop illustrations, with input from our department about practicality, and I sometimes make suggestions. The concept department at Marvel has a whole team of people that works on these super suits. That awesome Falcon/Captain America hybrid-do you have any wiggle room there in the design process? In the final episode, Sam finally becomes Captain America, and it’s a look we’ve never seen in all the years of seeing Sam in the MCU.

So if you were that person, what would you wear? Bucky’s obviously a very different person than Steve in his life experience, but I wanted them to have the same flavor. Both of them are characters who, for the most part, their lives were lived in the 1940s, and they’re sort of stuck in this modern world. It was the same for Steve Rogers but in a darker, moodier way. How would you describe his style?įor Bucky, I wanted to play with this idea of classic Americana style. All Rights Reserved.īucky’s look has always been, for lack of a better word, cool.

So much of the show is muted and dark and moody, so I wanted that world of Louisiana to be the bright spot and a happy place in his life. I wanted to add a little more color-in a muted way because the whole palette of the show is a little muted-but I wanted to add a little more color and texture than maybe he’s had before. So for Sam, I sort of extrapolated from some of his previous streetwear looks from Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, and talked to Anthony about it. How did you approach a casual Falcon, as it were? This is the first time we’ve gotten to see Sam at home in Louisiana.

We spoke to him about that journey, and quite a bit more.

In a series with muted colors, a fascist Captain America, and mysterious super-soldiers intent on bringing the planet back to its brief, borderless haze after Thanos snapped half of the global population out of existence, Crow’s clothes helped build to that final, glorious moment when Falcon became Captain America.

But John Walker was no Steve Rogers, and soon Sam and Bucky found themselves not only dealing with the worldwide threat of a cabal of masked anarchists known as the Flag Smashers but from the new Captain America himself. Because he’d refused to take on the role of Captain America, America looked elsewhere-towards the blonde-haired, blue-eyed war hero John Walker. Up until the last episode, Sam, alongside his former enemy/current begrudging best friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), found himself fighting on multiple fronts. An MCU veteran-he worked on Captain America: Civil War and on Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame-Crow made the most of Sam’s big moment. The man behind much of the series’ look was costume designer Michael Crow. The effect was potent, the white popped against an overall muted palette, and the effect of seeing the hybrid Falcon/Captain America suit on Sam Wilson was both rousing and cathartic. The newly minted Captain America, in wings supplied by those technological wizards in Wakanda, flew into the frame in a super-suit that dazzled with bursts of white. That style was set by a brand new look for Sam Wilson/Falcon ( Anthony Mackie) who, after an arduous journey since Captain America (Chris Evans) handed him the shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame, finally accepted both the iconic shield and the role itself. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier capped off (pun intended) its 6-episode season last Friday night in style.
