THE FALCON & THE WINTER SOLDIER Cancels Prague Shoot Over Coronavirus Concerns

Another high-profile production has been impacted by the spread of coronavirus, as Disney has decided to scrap a planned shoot in Prague for Marvel's The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. More past the jump.

We recently found out that The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was heading to Prague (leading to speculation that we'd be paying a visit to Baron Zemo's ancestral home), but coronavirus has now put the kibosh on those plans.

The Disney+ series had finished up production in Atlanta and had already moved to Prague to begin a week-long shoot, but Deadline is reporting that studio has now pulled the plug and called everybody home to Atlanta. The report notes that it's "unlikely" the production will return to the Czech Republic capital at a later date.

The decision was made after he Czech government placed a ban on movie screenings, elementary and high school classes, sports matches, and cultural events. The Prague Film Festival has also been canceled.

This is obviously a setback, but it's unlikely to hinder production on too great a scale if the shoot was only scheduled for a week, and Marvel should be able to find a location to double for Prague if needs be.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is currently set to premiere on Disney+ in August.

Here in my country (Portugal) things are starting to get a little bit crazy. Universities were closed. Soccer games will be played without public. Concerts and other events canceled. Schools and kindergartens are likely to close starting next Monday. There's even a part of the country in total quarantine, where no one gets in, no one gets out and people are obligated to stay in their houses. Freaking Coronavirus.

@Moriakum - I fear we'll be like that here in the UK soon.

@Moriakum - it happens in my country. Soccer games still on but with no fans/spectators, universities/colleges/kindergarten and few schools in whole of my country have to shut down temporarily due to the coV. Even malls become fewer people due to these outbreaks

Damn. Says they had a little over a week worth of shooting in Prague and they got some. I imagine less than most but still. They should just recreate whatever environment in Prague they were trying to shoot at a studio in the states and be done with it.
