The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the film industry, but Disney Plus has capitalized on the switch to streaming by producing high-quality television.
WandaVision and
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier both proved engrossing and they built well on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Bad Batch has also been delightful, and Marvel fans await the
Loki series (set to debut on June 9) with great anticipation.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 10) Marvel fans were recently delighted to see a Filipino character in the series finale of its Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
In the series finale, Ayla Perez, a Filipino diplomat on the Global Repatriation Council with a background in the Philippine Air Force, helped the new Captain America (played by Anthony Mackie a.k.a. Sam Wilson) save the day by piloting the chopper previously controlled by terrorist group Flag-Smashers.
Speaking to CNN Philippines New Day on Monday, Fil-Am actress Jane Rumbaua, who played Perez, shared how she landed the role.

When I saw that the title of the fifth episode of
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was going to be “Truth,” I may have fist-pumped a bit. That was the title of the 2003 comic book miniseries by Robert Morales & Kyle Baker that introduced Isaiah Bradley, subtitled
Red, White, and Black, and I was hoping that we’d see more of Carl Lumbly’s MCU version of Bradley. I was not disappointed, as the scene with him and Sam Wilson was one of several excellent scenes in this take-a-breath episode that paused from the fight scenes to remind us of some of the themes that were introduced in the first couple of episodes that had fallen a bit by the wayside.
