2. Where Is Steve Rogers?

Where in the world is Steven Grant Rogers? (That's his full name, by the way. Just in case you didn't know.)

Seriously, though: where'd the Star-Spangled Man run off to? This wouldn't even be a question were it not for the MCU bringing it up. At a couple of points in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, characters speculated as to where he might be, with Joaquin Torres opining that - according to some online forums - he was on the moon. Is he dead? Is he retired? Is he actually on the moon with Nick Fury? Even the writers don't know, because Marvel wouldn't tell them.

The only real answer we've got is that he's "gone," which is - frankly - a non-answer. It's painfully vague, but maybe that's the point. It leaves the door open for future appearances. In fact, there have been rumors that Chris Evans is in talks to return as Steve Rogers. How? No one knows yet. He could come back as a Skrull taking on Captain America's image, but equally, we could see him in another period film, or even as some sort of variant.

Point is, the door for his return is open. Hope to see you soon, Cap.
