A lot of fans have advocated for this in the past - yours truly included - but with each passing movie the prospect of Bucky (Sebastian Stan) or Falcon (Anthony Mackie) taking over the Captain America mantle following Steve Rogers' (Chris Evans) possible death becomes less appealing.

It'd be an easy route to take given its rooting in the comics, but considering how far divorced Rogers feels from the typical stars-and-stripes Cap persona these days, and how Bucky and Falcon are well-established characters in their own rights, it'd probably feel like unnecessary fan-service.

Will It Happen?: Again, the Russos like to deviate from the comics, and given how inorganic it would feel at this point, it's almost certainly not going to happen.
