Ever since Endgame's release, fans have been miffed about the bizarre lack of a poignant final moment between Cap and Bucky (Sebastian Stan), with many theorising that their more subdued final moment together nevertheless hinted that Bucky was aware Cap wouldn't be coming back.

McFeely effectively confirms this theory, stating, "I think it's clear from Sebastian's performance here that he's been clued in...to Steve's decision. Why would he say 'I'm gonna miss you' if it's gonna be five seconds?"

Joe Russo and McFeely then discuss the extent to which Cap told Bucky about his plans, and they agree that Bucky was most likely surprised to see Old Cap on the bench next to them.
