MCU Phase 5: 10 Insane Predictions You Need To Know

5. Sam Wilson Leading The New Avengers

There's going to be another Avengers team sometime in the future, if not this phase then in Phase 5. This is indisputable, but what IS disputable is the fact that we don't really know who's going to be ON that team. Not that we're at a loss for options, but they're all perfect choices so who should ACTUALLY be on the team? And moreover, who should lead it?

Well given all the available options, I see no reason why it shouldn't be Sam Wilson, the heir to the mantle of Captain America.

While Falcon And The Winter Soldier will have the two eponymous characters defending Steve's legacy from US Agent, it's a given that Sam will come out on top and retain the mantle. And even if he doesn't, he's still perfect leadership material for the New Avengers. He has all the qualifications of a leader, all he needs is the right team.

While the rest of the New Avengers membership is pretty up in the air, I hold very little doubt as to who's going to end up being the leader.
