Editors – Rosanne Tan ACE and Todd Desrosiers
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier editors; Rosanne Tan ACE and Todd Desrosiers teamed up to lend their super editing powers to Marvel Studio’s second series for Disney+. Set six months after the events of Avengers: Endgame, the show takes on social issues and conflicted characters, all within the framework of the big action and visual effects familiar to fans of the MCU.
Todd Desrosiers
Editor, Todd Desrosiers was already familiar with the MCU, having cut the Marvel Television series Legion. His work has also recently been on display in The Umbrella Academy, with its similar “super power” component. And, without question, his time spent on the series Californication helped hone the comedy chops that would come into play in the interaction between Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes.
