Marvel Removed A Pandemic Subplot from Falcon and Winter Soldier
Ha. Marvel finally admitted Falcon and the Winter Soldier had a pandemic/virus subplot that they removed. It's a shame, because this could've been a great show had the Flag Smashers been executed properly. https://t.co/W94cCN0M2N

Joanna Robinson's book 'MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios' spoke with a ton of Marvel peeps, and finally got a confirmation that the Falcon and Winter Soldier show underwent last minute plot changes
The original plot centered around a fast-spreading disease
Director Malcolm Spellman stresses that abandoning that plot had nothing to do with Covid tho (?)
The show also had a lot of problems with their filming locations due to covid
someone at r/MSS wrote a summary of the juicy bits of that book
