When Steve Rogers dropped his shield in Captain America: Civil War he was giving up more than we had initially thought. The Huffington Post recently caught up with Directors Joe and Anthony Russo, ahead of Civil War’s Blu-Ray release. The directors, who are currently working on Infinity War revealed that Steve Rogers will no longer be Captain America after the monumental events of Civil War.
“I think him dropping that shield is him letting go of that identity,” said Joe. “[It’s] him admitting that certainly the identity of Captain America was in conflict with the very personal choice that he was making.”
Don’t worry, Cap will still have a major role in Infinity War as he still has a few movies left on his contract. Thanos is set to tear the Marvel Cinematic Universe apart and we can’t imagine Rogers will just stand by and let that happen.
Marvel Comics fans will know that Rogers has given up the Captain America title multiple times. Characters such as Falcon and The Winter Soldier have previously picked up the shield, and taken the name. It’s unlikely that the Russo brothers will introduce a new Cap but I wouldn’t put it passed Marvel to surprise us all.
With the title available, who do you think will take the shield in Infinity War?
Avengers: Infinity War will land in theaters on May 4, 2018.
