In The Falcon and The Winter Soldier's premiere, "New World Order", Sam Wilson AKA The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and James Rhodes AKA War Machine (Don Cheadle) walk through Captain America's Smithsonian exhibit after Sam surrendered Cap's shield to the museum. As the two veteran superheroes discussed their recent history, they poignantly toured Steve Rogers's heroism ever since he first became Captain America in World War II. But Sam and Rhodey also ed a display about the Sokovia Accords, which details the 2016 breakup of the Avengers under the heading "A Team Divided". Although the Sokovia Accords being a part of the Smithsonian's honoring of Steve Rogers' life, it may not necessarily mean the Accords themselves are now also history.

The Sokovia Accords are likely still in effect during The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, which is set six months after WandaVision, which took place just a few weeks after Endgame; Wanda Maximoff was framed by S.W.O.R.D. Acting Director Tyler Hayward (Josh Stamberg) for stealing Vision's (Paul Bettany) corpse, when, in truth, Hayward was committing his own violations of the Accords by reactivating the Synthezoid as the White Vision in spite of the android's own living will.

Of course, it's possible that the Sokovia Accords could have been reevaluated and rescinded by the United Nations, but there's no solid indication (yet) that happened in the months between WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. If anything, the destabilization of the MCU's world after the billions of people killed by Thanos (Josh Brolin) Blipped back to life would require the Sokovia Accords to remain in effect. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is immersed in the volatile geopolitics of the MCU, which is experiencing a rewriting of the world's old order as alliances are broken and new ones are being forged globally.

But this upheaval could also mean that the Sokovia Accords have indeed been tossed out and are as much a part of history as Steve Rogers's legendary service as Captain America. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier's premiere didn't explicitly reference the Sokovia Accords the way WandaVision did, but the show's end credits do include text from the Enhanced Persons Act - which could tie into the Sokovia Accords' legal jargon. Considering the politically-charged adventures Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes will take part in, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier shouldn't take very long at all to settle the debate of whether or not the Sokovia Accords are still in play in the MCU.
