Avengers 4: Predicting The Fate Of Every Avenger

Current Status: Alive on Earth

His Avengers 4 Fate: Cap is one of only a few characters who just feel like they’re nearing the end of their stories.

For a while now, most of the discussion surrounding Steve Rogers has boiled down to if/when he'll pass on the shield to Bucky/Sam, and Infinity War's second trailer even made it seem like Cap was ready for the chop at Thanos' hands. Misleading? Yes. But it puts that idea in our heads.

Chris Evans has also expressed the desire to take on more directing work in the future, and has even discussed the end of the character in talk show appearances and interviews. Plus, articles about him leaving the MCU have been running rampant for years.

His MCU contract is also up with Avengers 4, and though he could always renew it, it just feels like the right time for him to depart, as sad a thought as that is.

Directors Joe and Anthony Russo are responsible for making Cap as insanely popular as he is thanks to The Winter Soldier, and they'll be sure to give him an epic, heart-wrenching send-off. Avengers 4 promises that sacrifices must be made, and who better to lay down their life for the safety of the Earth?
