Captain America 4 will feature Anthony Mackie playing the star-spangled superhero — a fact Chris Evans emphasized when addressing speculation that he’d return to the big screen as Steve Rogers.
“Sam Wilson is Captain America,” Evans tweeted in July 2022 after a tweet from The Hollywood Reporter claimed it was “unclear” if he’d return as Cap after leading the first three flicks.
Audiences saw Mackie’s character come to terms with the weight of Steve’s legacy before eventually accepting his role as the new Captain America in the 2021 Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In the final episode’s credits, a title card read Captain America and the Winter Soldier, confirming that Sam has worked through his concerns and fully accepted the mantle. Evans has been supportive of Mackie’s promotion.

“No one better to do it. I mean, [Mackie] honestly does it justice,” Evans told Yahoo in June 2022. “I’m so proud of him. I can’t wait to see what they do in the future with it, but if there’s any tearshed, it’s just for the sweet memories I had.”
