Falcon & Winter Soldier ends with the debut of MCU’s new Captain America

Anthony Mackie, who plays Falcon in the MCU, has said that Phase 4’s Captain America will be revealed to the public by the end of the Disney + miniseries.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will reveal who will take over from Captain America at the end of the series. The upcoming Disney + series follows the eponymous duo played by Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan as they travel the world to fight the Flag-Smashers anarchists. The show is part of a new chapter for the MCU, matching the production quality of the limited-series movies on Disney’s own streamer. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, the series is about the allies and friends of Captain America by Chris Evans.

At the end of the film, Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, accepts Cap’s iconic shield from an elderly Steve Rogers, apparently accepting his blessing as his successor. While it seems like a clean, sentimental transition from one captain to another, there have been talks of Evans returning as a Patriotic Super-Soldier. Mackie, for her part, is more than happy to see him return. It might not be that easy to fill Captain America’s shoes just yet.

Talk on The Rich Eisen Show, Mackie revealed that the new Captain America will be named at the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Although it is not easy, the question of “where the shield will end“is the main concern of the series. Mackie wouldn’t say who will take on the role and the answer may not be what we expect. Check out his full quote below:

At the end of End of Game, Sam did not accept the shield. If you remember, he said to Steve, “It’s not okay because this shield is yours. So, you know, the series is a long way to determine who Captain America will be. Where the shield is going to end up and if Captain America, if that moniker is going to come back and someone will hold it back again.

Mackie has already cast doubt on Falcon being the next Captain America. Although he seems to accept the shield in End of Game, the responsibility of becoming a symbol of America is great. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier presents the debut of Marvel hero US Agent, a super-soldier originally designed by the government to replace Steve. The Flag-Smashers may not be the only organization working against its wish to pass the shield to Falcon.

Apparently Mackie knows everything going to happen in Phase 4 and he’s excited to see how fans react to whatever is to come. As old heroes bow or embark on their own journeys, new blood will fill the Avengers, and new leaders will rise to the challenge. While a new multi-movie epic has only just begun, Disney + series such as Hawk Eye and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will explain the rise of entirely new heroes and successors to old ones.
