Is Captain America Dead? What Happened to Captain America After Endgame?
The MCU Phase 4 has raised some big questions about exactly what happened to old Captain America after Avengers: Endgame, including a rather sad one: is Steve Rogers dead? Captain America's story ended with Endgame, but his legacy lives on. Most pertinently, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier followed on directly from Steve's Endgame ending — more specifically, the climactic moments where an old Captain America handed his shield to Sam Wilson. Steve got his happy ending with Peggy Carter — ostensibly in another timeline, though it's a point even Endgame's directors and writers didn't agree on. Ultimately, what happened to Captain America after Endgame remains a mystery.
While Falcon & Winter Soldier never confirmed anything, Captain America's legacy weighed heavily over the show, especially on Sam Wilson. The show started with Sam giving back the shield and turning away from the mantle, before eventually coming to terms with what it means to be Captain America, including donning a new costume and taking on the persona properly. The MCU has a new Cap, but it's clear the world doesn't know what has happened to the old Steve Rogers after he returned the MCU Infinity Stones to their respective timelines.
