Every Upcoming MCU Movie Ranked By Anticipation

The question has been on the minds of MCU fans really ever since it was theorised that Steve Rogers could die in Civil War back in 2016. Who would succeed him as the next Captain America? It was a toss-up between Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson, and after a brief interjection from John Walker, fans finally had their answer.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier left a lot to be desired as a Disney+ series, however it did what it was supposed to do. What fans waited six long episodes for. It transformed Sam Wilson into Captain America, and did a bloody good job of it, too.

There were rumblings of a fourth Captain America movie with Anthony Mackie at the helm shortly after the series finale premiered, but it wasn’t until Comic Con 2022 that Captain America: New World Order was finally officially announced.

Fans love Sam Wilson as Captain America, and he has the potential to be just as important to the MCU as Steve Rogers was. The excitement was only added to at D23, with the confirmation of Samuel Sterns’ return and the continuation of a story thought forgotten about since 2008.
