Marvel is two for two in the world of streaming asThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierfinished its first seasonleaving behind a trail of exciting new characters for the MCU to pick up. Although it may be hard to measure the show’s success, it looks like Disney is ready to back up its newCaptain Americawith a new movie.
Despite Steve Rogers handing the mythical shield over to Sam Wilson inAvengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios decided to turn the new Cap’s journey into a more conflicted affair inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The series capped off Sam and Bucky’s characters arcs in spectacular fashion, but it does raise the question of what is next for the two heroes.

According toThe Hollywood Reporter, it would appear that Marvel Studios has already lined upThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierwriter Malcolm Spellman to handle the nextCaptain Americafilm, which would star Anthony Mackie in his newfound job. Regardless of rumors suggestingthe possibility that Chris Evans could return to the MCUin some capacity, which have been readily denied by Marvel chief Kevin Feige, the new movie would be ready to embrace Sam Wilson as its Cap.
Little else is known about this project for now, aside from Spellman likely bringing in the series’ episode five writer Dalan Musson. Another huge detail of interest for fans would be whetherCaptain America 4would fit in as Phase Four movie, or if it’s something planned further down the line beyond 2023.
Feige had previously kept open the possibility ofThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierbeing a multiseason production, something that again came to light after Disney just enteredWandaVisionunder the “Limited Series” category in this year’s Emmys, while theCaptain Americaspinoff was submitted as a drama.UnlikeWandaVision, which should immediately tie in withDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Sam and Bucky’s fate is wide open for new job offerings.
Marvel Studios certainly must have big plansfor John “U.S. Agent” Walker, Sharon “Power Broker” Carter and Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, as well as Baron Zemo, so eventually anyone out of that bunch could run into Sam and Bucky again. However, considering how good the high-flying Mackie is, Marvel might just give him a smaller gig in one of its upcoming projects beforeCaptain America4comes to fruition.
