Sam Wilson is the ideal hero to continue Captain America’s legacy, as Chris Evans’ return to the MCU may demonstrate. Although it’s unclear exactly the role he will play, Chris Evans will make his formal comeback in the MCU’s Avengers: Doomsday. Evans’ comeback may overshadow Sam Wilson’s new status as Captain America in the MCU timeline. But Evans’ comeback also gives Marvel a chance to firmly confirm Sam Wilson as the shield’s legitimate bearer. Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, formally assumed the role of Captain America in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. He also appears in Captain America: Brave New World in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His position as the new Cap will be cemented by this, but there will be difficulties along the way. One notable quote from Harrison Ford’s portrayal of Thaddeus Ross in the Brave New World trailer is, “You’re no Steve Rogers.” This criticism emphasizes the persistent skepticism over Sam’s capacity to succeed his predecessor. Ironically, Evans’ comeback could serve as the impetus for Sam Wilson to demonstrate his merit for the shield.
Chris Evans’s return to the MCU is certainly thrilling, but there are dangers involved. The rise in popularity of Steve Rogers can unintentionally hinder Sam Wilson’s progress as Captain America. If Steve Rogers’ presence is too noticeable, audiences who are already used to Evans’ interpretation may find it difficult to completely accept Mackie’s Cap. But Marvel might be able to solve the problem by making Steve Rogers a villain. Robert Downey Jr.’s casting as Doctor Doom is one example of how recent MCU trends have demonstrated a willingness to reinvent iconic alumni in darker roles. It is therefore reasonable to believe that Evans will portray an evil Captain America who is sympathetic to Hydra. The comics do, in fact, set the standard for this kind of twist. The famed “Hydra Cap” plotline began when a parallel Steve Rogers was revealed to be a Hydra spy during Sam Wilson’s time as Captain America. Sam Wilson’s character would be elevated to new heights and Evans might return in a fascinating and nuanced role with a similar narrative in the MCU. In Avengers: Doomsday, having Steve Rogers as an opponent would result in a strong emotional struggle that compels Sam Wilson to face his fears and establish his value. Additionally, this story would keep the emphasis on Mackie’s Captain America’s development rather than reducing him to a supporting part in his own tale. Sam Wilson may thus demonstrate his value as Captain America by taking on Hydra Cap.
A clash between these two ideologies would make for a thought-provoking exploration of what it truly means to be Captain America.
There is a lot of dramatic potential in the concept of Sam Wilson competing against a different, evil Steve Rogers. In Avengers: Endgame, audiences have previously seen Steve Rogers battle his 2012 self in a brief but dramatic confrontation between two versions of Captain America. A fight between Sam and a morally tainted Steve would have significantly higher emotional stakes, even though that interaction was staged for comedy. Sam would face several challenges in such an encounter. He would have to battle someone he had previously regarded as a friend and mentor, battling the personal betrayal while standing up for Captain America’s principles. According to Steve, being an adversary does not always imply that he is a pure evil; rather, he may be a variation who has been tainted by external factors like Doom’s manipulations or the intrusions of the multiverse. This subtle strategy would provide the framework for an incredibly engaging story while maintaining Steve Rogers’ credibility as a character. The main distinctions between Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson as Captain America would also be emphasized by this plot. Sam’s Captain America portrays a more realistic and modern viewpoint, based on the hardships of common people, whereas Steve embodied the idealistic vision of America during World War II. A conflict between these two ideals would allow for a thought-provoking study of what it actually means to be Captain America.
Sam Wilson needs a pivotal moment of triumph in order to solidify his position as Captain America in the minds of the MCU’s characters and viewers. That moment would be defeating a Steve Rogers version. It would highlight Sam’s moral fortitude and unrelenting commitment in addition to his physical prowess and strategic acumen. In contrast to Steve’s more austere and dominant demeanor, Sam Wilson’s Captain America has always been distinguished by his capacity for empathy and inspiration. A triumph over a corrupted Steve Rogers would demonstrate that these attributes are just as important—if not more so—in the modern world. Although Sam was previously given the shield by Steve Rogers in Avengers: Endgame, this fight would cement Sam’s role as Captain America and lift him out of Steve Rogers’ shadow in the hearts and minds of the MCU’s cast and viewers.
