Maybe they do the plotline where Falcon becomes the next Cap?
Since were getting the show “Falcon and Winter Soldier”...doubt we’ll be getting either as the new Cap anytime soon
Gwenyth paltrow and yes. She could still don the rescue armor though
That’s how Gwynyth should end her full time appearance as Pepper
ok so here's the deal
i, just like everyone else, think that cap is by far the most likely of the big three
his character doesn't really have anywhere to go. his arc is done and unlike tony or thor he doesn't really have any lasting obligations like pepper or rebuilding asgard
HOWEVER
by being the most likely, cap may also be the least llikely because it's the goddamn russos
for all we know it's gonna be like
clint or nat
**** maybe even banner since endgame is apparently the end of the hulk's 3-movie arc
so really...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Honestly Stark also has nothing really left to do, so he’s still on equal footing as Cap. Sure Steve could continue leading the Avengers and Stark can be a part timer who helps out Spidey and whoever will make the New New Avengers...but that isn’t really enough for either
Thor has a lot to do, as does the Hulk, and Natasha is only just being realized as someone who can actually have her everything established and developed some more
Hawkeye has a Disney+ show in development, probably gonna retire soon while training Kate Bishop
Then there’s Nick Fury...literally only needs to continue the Ultimate Spider-Man and Captain Marvel connections while running S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Avengers though...if the heroes on Disney+ aren’t gonna be apart of the team, we’d still have the following
Captain Marvel
Doctor Strange
Ant-Man
Wasp
Thor (unless he decides to focus mainly on New Asgard, otherwise Jane Foster Thor or Valkyrie can take his place)
Black Panther (and maybe Shuri)
Hulk
Black Widow (if she stays)
War Machine
maybe Spider-Man (school is a bigger priority)
And finally Spider-Man...who has way too much **** possible for him so that’s all he needs for an explanation
As original as that would be I'd rather it not happen. Endgame is about war and in war there's sacrifice. We need a few characters to die to represent that and Cap is a perfect example of it. He's a man lost in time who everyday feels out of place in the time he lives in and it'd be a perfect character conclusion to his character.
Well AoU already made a hint of sorts that Cap will get that one last dance with Peggy, so...it’s a pretty high possibility if he doesn’t die nor stays in the present
