Disney+ will restore The Falcon and the Winter Soldier after an alternate cut was uploaded to the platform with the most violent scenes edited out.
Some Marvel fans noted that the most violent scenes in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier seemed to be edited down to smooth out the violent content. Although at first it was thought that it was censorship by the platform, Entertainment Weekly clarifies that an alternative version of the series had been uploaded by mistake. “Disney is currently working to fix the issue.”
The change was picked up by TheDirect, illustrating that two scenes from the series’ third episode were listed among the changes. In one of these Helmut Zemo (Daniel Brühl) shoots former Hydra scientist Wilfred Nagel (Olli Haaskivi). “The shot of Nagel’s body, once shown blood splattered with his eyes open, appeared to have the blood removed, while his eyes were now visibly closed.”

Another documented scene shows Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) throwing a pipe at an assailant, which pierces the offender’s shoulder. In the alternate version the pipe bounces off the villain.
“This alternate cut of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was accidentally uploaded in an attempt to correct a credit,” a source told EW. “We are told that Disney hopes to have the problem remedied as soon as possible.”
