Recent reports suggest Chris Evans will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in an upcoming project, surprising news given the actor's stated desire to hang up the shield for good. The Inverse Analysis - Whether or not Old Man Steve is dead, it's almost guaranteed that we have not yet seen the last of the original Captain America. Heavy are the hands that wield the shield. (For what it's worth, Professor Hulk also witnessed Old Man Steve's return, but he should be safe with the secret - just as long as he keeps it cool in between posing for selfies with adoring fans.) It's entirely within the realm of possibility that they would want to honor Steve's wishes to live a private life, and instead go on to tell the world he's gone. Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes are nothing if not true ride-or-die Steve Rogers loyalists. So how about this: what if Steve's death is faked? In WandaVision, it's heavily implied that there's circulated footage from the final battle against Thanos it would be hard to imagine faking Cap's death in that circumstance, especially in light of Iron Man's actual demise, but not impossible.Ĭircling back to the Far From Home montage, it would make sense for Steve's inclusion if the greater world thinks he's passed away. (In Marvel Comics lore, an elderly Steve serves as a mentor of sorts when Sam first wields the shield.) If they must accept Steve's absence, there has to be some level of plausible deniability. Then Again … - It's hard to imagine General Ross and the other powers that be within the MCU accepting Steve's decision to retire quietly. One of these things is not like the other - unless, alas, Steve Rogers is dead.ĭoes Sam know something the rest of the MCU doesn't? Marvel Based on the image of a solemn Sam standing over the shield, it's easy to imagine Steve himself has now passed.Īfter all, recall the opening scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home, in which an In Memoriam montage details the various heroes no longer with us: Iron Man, Black Widow, Vision … and Captain America. It's a hard-earned happy ending for a man who was at war for the entirety of his adult life. When Steve appears to Sam at the end of Endgame, he's at peace, having lived a "beautiful" life with Peggy, even if he refuses to speak her name out loud. When Sam and Steve meet on the lakeside bench, Sam is dressed in a leather coat it's hard to imagine that he'd change back into his formal wear after receiving the shield, though hey, stranger things! But revisiting the sprawling Avengers epic's penultimate scene makes this unlikely. The associated feelings of doom surrounding Old Steve Rogers' fate in the MCU … well, they speak for themselves.Īt an optimistic first glance, the image appears like it's a deleted scene from Endgame, with the erstwhile Falcon taking a break from Tony Stark's funeral to gaze upon his old friend Steve's shield. What's more, he's all alone, standing over Cap's shield.
