Falcon and Winter Soldier Beats The Mandalorian & WandaVision To Become Most-Watched Disney+ Debut

Warning: This article contains spoilers for "Episode 1" of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Over the past weekend, Marvel Studios brought the debut episode of its second exclusive series on Disney+, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. This comes after an epic run for the MCU's first project of 2021, WandaVision, which earned rave reviews and kept fans on their toes thanks to new reveals that came with each passing week.

That same hype is quickly building for Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan's solo series, which catches up with Captain America's two closest allies in the months following the events of Avengers: Endgame. Even in an episode in which the two leads didn't interact with each other once, the stage is still set for an epic journey full of top-notch action and real world-building in the coming weeks.

Not only did the first episode lay the foundation for a monumental run over the next five weeks, it set a new standard for its streaming home as well.
