While Chris Evans has voiced his will to reprise the role and the comics have kept old Steve Rogers around long after the effects of the Super Soldier serum have worn off, the MCU could kill off Steve sooner than expected in order to leave Sam and Bucky without guidance when they most need it.Īnother hint at Steve Rogers' death is Sam's somber expression in front of the Captain America mural and a few brief shots of a military event in the Super Bowl trailer. The former is reminiscent of Peter Parker's reaction to Tony Stark's mural in Spider-Man: Far From Home and the latter could mirror Peggy Carter's funeral service from Captain America: Civil War. However, the trailers for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier suggest the titular heroes don't have Steve Rogers around to help them. The Marketing for Falcon and The Winter Soldier Suggests Steve Rogers Diedĭespite Steve Rogers' status as a war criminal after his actions in Captain America: Civil War, his heroic efforts to stop Thanos in Avengers: Endgame would give him enough authority to decide who dons the Captain America mantle. However, Steve Rogers' unexpected death could throw a wrench on the works. It has been widely assumed that Steve will enjoy a long and peaceful retirement while Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes face Baron Zemo, Ultimatum, and US Agent.

But what the promotional material doesn't show can also shine a light on crucial events. So far, the most telling reveals about The Falcon and The Winter Soldier have been Baron Zemo's comic-accurate mask, the return of Sharon Carter, and (possibly) the city of Madripoor. The newest generation of heroes will have it tough, but the abrupt death of Sam and Bucky's mentor could make their hardships even more challenging.įollowing the success of WandaVision, the marketing for the Sam and Bucky team-up series has been cautious about not revealing major plot points and spoilers. Phase 4 of the MCU will deal with the aftermath of the departure of legendary Avengers such as Tony Stark, whose Iron Man tech will play a big role in Armor Wars as well as Natasha Romanoff, who will fight alongside Yelena Belova before handing her the Black Widow mantle and Steve Rogers, whose legacy as Captain America will be explored in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. There's a high chance that Steve Rogers aka Captain America will die soon in the MCU, but his death could come as soon as The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, which would explain the tribute Peter Parker saw in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
