Why Sam Wilson is not Captain America in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier

When Steve Rogers handed his shield to Sam Wilson at the end of Avengers: Endgame, fans assumed that the star-studded man was also handing Captain America's coat back to his longtime ally. But after Anthony Mackie, Sam Wilson is not Captain America during the coup of sending the Falcon and the Winter Soldier (which explains why the Disney + series is not called Captain America and the winter soldier).

"I'm not Captain America." Just because he told me to hold his shield, he did not say, "You're Captain America now," said Mackie while talking to IGN. on the Disney + red carpet at Disney's D23 show. "He says," I'm going back to see my daughter, call me if something happens … I do not want to wear that dumb shield. "

Marvel Phase 4: Official Composition

Mackie's comments suggest that the upcoming Disney + series will see Sam struggling to accept the responsibility that Cap placed on his shoulders at the end of Endgame, allowing him, hopefully, to get to a place where he can resume the name of Captain America without hesitation. . The series also added Wyatt Russell as John Walker (aka US Agent) and confirmed the return of Sharon Carter from Emily VanCamp.

Malcolm Spellman, the showrunner of The Falcon and Winter Soldier, warned that fans should not attempt to predict the direction of the new series based on the end of the Infinity saga: "I would not make any assumptions based on Endgame. You know how Marvel is, you can not say much about it, but it's not predictable, if you think Endgame is obviously targeting, the target will move. "
