2. Captain Falcon

Despite many fans expecting Bucky to be the one to inherit Captain America's shield, Old Cap ends up gifting it to Falcon, who gratefully accepts.

It's not quite clear whether Falcon will formally take up the Captain America mantle or not, but there is plenty of precedent for it in the comics, and considering how under-utilised the character has been throughout his MCU tenure, this could be a way to give him a major boost.

Between this and the upcoming Disney+ show Falcon & Winter Soldier, expect Falcon to become a major fixture in the MCU moving forward.
