Will The Next CAPTAIN AMERICA Be African American Or Even A Woman?

During a recent interview, Captain America: Civil War star Frank Grillo revealed that he's heard rumors about an African American or female actress taking over as the next Captain America from Chris Evans.

Chris Evans has strongly hinted that he's done with playing Captain America after Avengers 4 but the Marvel Cinematic Universe needs a new Star Spangled Avenger and most fans would like to see Bucky take over the mantle as he did in the comics. However, during a recent interview, Frank Grillo revealed that he's heard some rumours of his own about what comes next.

"I don’t know," Grillo said in regards to who the next Captain America will be. "I don’t know, but there have been rumours that Captain America could be African American. It could be a woman. You know? So they’re looking."

It's hard to say whether Grillo is referring to online reports or knows something we don't but it would certainly be interesting seeing the character taken in a completely unexpected direction. Anthony Mackie's Falcon could easily become the next Captain America, while I'm not sure how well Sharon Carter or Black Widow would be for the roll! What do you guys think?

I thought this was already known as a possibility. I've heard people talking about Falcon taking over as Cap for years.

@Nightwing1015 - I’m cool with Falcon taking over as Cap but I think it would be better for Bucky’s arc if he became Cap.

@JonAwesome - Yeah, if Steve bites it Bucky and Sam should team-up. With Bucky moving past Winter Soldier it makes more sense for him to become Cap while Sam stays Falcon.

Would be weird but I'm still hoping it's Bucky or at least Sam

I'm super ok with Bucky, but that's it.
Otherwise, i don't even want another Captain America.

I'm not willing to think about a successor for Cap until it's definitely clear to me that Cap himself won't be Cap anymore.

Bucky is the logical choice but still, he's kinda two dimensional and boring to me in the MCU (at no fault to Sebastian Stan).

Can't see anyone but Chris Evans/Steve Rogers as Captain America.
