The series features The Winter Soldier and Falcon dealing with the events after “Avengers: Endgame”, where Falcon is handed the Captain America shield by an elderly Steve Rogers.

The first episode is packed with plenty of action and is rated 12+, however, just ahead of the release of the second episode of the show on Friday, Disney has updated the description with a new warning stating:

Though it is fictional and set in the comic-book world, the series contains violent scenes that may be viewed as triggering or unsettling to some viewers, particularly in light of recent real-world tragic events.

Experience Marvel magic at home on Disney+ with The Falcon and Winter Soldier, where Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes join forces against new global adversaries in a thrilling post-Blip world. Packed with exhilarating comic-book action, dynamic character arcs, and suspenseful twists, this series explores the legacies of beloved superheroes—perfect for fans who revel in the immersive storytelling found at Disney Parks’ Avengers Campus or during epic Marvel Day celebrations. Note: contains comic-book style violence.

What do you think of Disney adding this warning to its content?
