Falcon and The Winter Soldier EP Wants To Reboot Deathlok In The MCU
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Executive Producer Malcolm Spellman wants to tackle Deathlok next. Hit the jump to find out more.
heroichollywood.comHere’s what I can share right now about Deathlok and the latest news up to 2026.
Deathlok has occasionally been referenced as a potential MCU revisit, with past discussions from creators and producers about rebooting the character for new stories rather than reusing the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. version. This reflects ongoing interest in reintroducing Deathlok in a way that fits contemporary MCU storytelling.[3][4]
There have been occasional reporting pieces and fan-focused discussions about Deathlok’s potential return in MCU projects, including hints from executives or commentators who previously worked on related Marvel projects. These pieces suggest Marvel Studios has at times weighed how to best reintroduce Deathlok, but concrete, official announcements have been limited or absent as of 2026.[1][3]
For a canonical reference, Deathlok’s character has a documented history in the MCU umbrella (notably the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. incarnation), and the wider Marvel universe has celebrated Deathlok’s long-running presence in comics and past media, including anniversary features and character dossiers that track his evolution across titles.[5][9]
A few outlets and fan sites have floated possibilities like a reboot or a new version of Deathlok tied to broader MCU phases, occasionally tying him to speculative arcs such as Black Widow-era timelines or fresh cinematic debuts; none of these are confirmed as official plans.[6][3]
