After all, Kevin Feige recently revealed that this show might get a second season, so the “Who is the new Cap?” question might be a long game, even though the show’s final trailer directly calls for a new Captain America. Not immediately trusting that John Walker is the new Cap is probably a wise move. We’ll talk it out, but recall that MCU fans hold a fresh memory of WandaVision Mephisto hints that went nowhere. Is this guy, you know, the real new Cap? Disney+ What did this reveal mean, though? Wes, I’m talking about the dude in the Captain America suit. And there damn well was a reveal in the final moments of the series premiere. Look, there’s been a ton of speculation about who will be the next Captain America, and all eyes have been on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to make that reveal. Steve deserved a nice retirement of his choosing, but that sure puts the MCU in a tough spot, albeit an interesting one. He encountered his best friend as a brainwashed HYDRA assassin, watched Peggy die in modern times, became a fugitive due to the Sokovia Accords, and pretended for years to be not worthy of lifting Thor’s hammer, only to whip out that thunder while fighting Thanos. He took that super serum, ended up frozen like a Capsicle for decades, and woke up to deal with the Internet and of not-so-dulcet tones of Nirvana. Chris Evans was done with the Cap role, and so was Steve Rogers after going through so much. So, we’re in a post- Endgame world, and a major MCU priority is to choose a new Cap. The show’s picks up shortly after Steve Rogers travels back in time to spend decades with his best girl, Agent Peggy Carter. Already, WandaVision hit a home run by giving fans a super weird experience, and a character-focused story that’s quite unlike many Marvel Cinematic Universe entries, but we’re back in action mode with the The Falcon and the Winter Soldier premiere. With the comic book community starved for movies, Disney+ shows (and, in its own way, the Snyder Cut) will be the closest thing we’ll get to cinematic experiences for at least a few months. (Spoilers from Disney+’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier premiere will be found below.)
