While everything is pointing to it being Mackie's Captain America that will take center stage, Deadline Hollywood claims that the fourth installment was never the rumored project that was being eyed for Evans. RELATED: How Powerful Captain America's New Wings Are While both Feige and Evans put those rumors to rest, a few interesting details came out in the midst of Captain America 4's announcement. However, the same day that report came out, Evans seemingly denied any truth to this, stating that it was "News to me." On March 17, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige also shot down Deadline's report about Evans coming back to the franchise as Steve. Deadline Hollywood reported that Evans was in talks with Marvel Studios to return to the role of Steve Rogers, in an unspecified MCU project. Long before The Falcon and The Winter Soldier had come out on Disney+, there were already rumors about Evans returning to the MCU. Chris Evans' Steve Rogers Isn't Expected To Return in Captain America 4 While there is no cast attached (yet), it would make sense for Stan's Bucky to join Captain America 4 as a supporting player. Marvel has even made it publicly clear on Captain America's social media pages that Sam is officially the MCU's new Cap. It would be quite the surprise of the century for Marvel Studios if this somehow weren't about Sam. RELATED: Why Falcon And Winter Soldier's Happy Ending Workedįollowing The Falcon and The Winter Soldier finale, as well as the showrunner and one of the writers being attached to feature film, it's obvious that this is set to feature Mackie's character, this time as the titular figure. Marvel Studios already have multiple features lined up for 20, meaning the fourth Captain America installment will most likely not hit theaters until 2024. While Marvel Studios is keeping their lips sealed for now about casting, it is almost a given that Sam will be the main character of Captain America 4. Because the project is in the early development stages, there is no aimed release date yet, as well as no clarify if Captain America 4 will be part of Phase 4 or perhaps even Phase 5. Malcolm Spellman, who was a showrunner and lead writer on The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, is penning a screenplay with one of the show's staff writers, Dalan Musson. Captain America 4 Is Happening, Likely With Sam Wilson With the project seemingly being set to feature Macke's character in the lead, there are definitely questions about how this affects Evans' future in the MCU. It will probably be quite some time before the studio begins to reveal more extended details as they start assembling their creative team behind the camera, as well as in front.

Hours after the finale had dropped on Disney+, it was revealed that Marvel Studios are developing a Captain America 4, with the creators of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. While the finale was big in itself, Marvel Studios didn't seem to want to wait any further with what was coming next. As Sam took on the shield, he and Bucky together stopped the Flag Smashers once and for all. In The Falcon and The Winter Soldier finale, Sam had fully embraced it and officially left the Falcon mantle behind, by assuming his role as the MCU's new Captain America.

While John Walker became the wrong person to become Captain America, Sam had to overcome his inner concern about being the one to continue Steve's legacy. Throughout the season, it became both an internal and external battle for Steve's shield. With Evans' character getting his happy ending with Peggy Carter, this set up the events of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, with Mackie and Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes starring in their own spinoff. Ever since their final moment together in Avengers: Endgame, Anthony Mackie's Falcon was set to take on the mantle (or shield, to be more precise) of the first Avenger. As Captain America 4 is officially coming, reportedly focused on Sam Wilson, opening a mystery of what it means for Steve Rogers' future in the MCU.
