MCU - 10 Ways Avengers: Endgame Sets Up Phase 4 & Disney Plus

2. Sam Is Now Captain America (Maybe)

Avengers: Endgame ends with Steve Rogers passing the shield to Sam Wilson, with Sam picking it up and, seemingly, setting off on the path of becoming the new Captain America.

That'll have some implications on his and Bucky's upcoming Disney+ series, which had been revealed to be called Falcon & The Winter Soldier. That might need retitling, or it might mean that Falcon, while using the shield, sticks with his original moniker.

The show could pick up with Sam already as Captain America, or it could be about him trying to become him. About figuring it out, wrestling with the weight of it, deciding whether he even wants to be Captain America or not, all while kicking ass with Bucky.
