Meanwhile, the director of The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, Kari Skogland got candid about the crux she presented to the studio. While talking about that, she also shed light on the freedom she had while making the show.
In conversation with the Hollywood Reporter, Kari Skogland said, “First of all, I really thought it was the most important story of the century. (Laughs.) From then on, the door was probably a little bit more open, but I really meant it. And that was because we’re talking about the shield.”
“At the end of Endgame, the shield was given to Sam and he said, “It feels like it’s someone else’s.” That conversation, for me, was the most important conversation to have. A Black man picking up the shield — what was that going to look like? What was that going to feel like? And Sam has to decide whether he wants to take up that shield or not. It’s very racially charged.” Kari added.
