The series is currently filming in Atlanta with an eye towards an August premiere date.
Lumbly is no stranger to superhero fare, having played the father of the Martian Manhunter in the CW series Supergirl.
The series, executive produced by Malcolm Spellman, is expected to debut in August 2020.
According to Deadline, Doctor Sleep actor Carl Lumbly has joined the highly anticipated Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The actor’s character was not revealed, though the trade speculates he could be playing Isaiah Bradley, aka the black Captain America, a character introduced in the comics in 2003 that became “a tragic but noble culture symbol for African-American heroes within the Marvel Universe.”
