Chris Evans confirms on Twitter, ‘Sam Wilson is Captain America’; Fans express displeasure – Times of India

For the unversed, currently, the character Sam Wilson is being portrayed by Anthony Mackie.

However, as soon as Evans tweeted about him not returning as Cap, fans expressed displeasure in the comment section. A user commented, “Sorry, Sam Wilson is Falcon and the role of Captain America shouldn’t be handed over just like that rather it should have ended like iron man.”

Another wrote, “#CaptainAmerica isn’t “title or shield” that can be handed over to someone #CaptainAmerica is #SteveRogers “Forever”. Sam Wilson holds Captain’s shield after being handed to him by Steve. Doesn’t mean that he has become or is the Captain. It’s not about the shield, But HERO (Steve)”

Some even pointed out that Sam Wilson will be the new Captain America and this fact will never change. The Twitter user wrote, “I’m Steve Rogers fan till the end.. but Steve has passed the shield to Sam! As much as we miss Steve Rogers as Cap, it’s not going to change the fact that Sam Wilson is Captain America now!”
