What a difference two years makes, eh?
Believe it or not, it's been exactly that long since we saw Steve Rogers pass the mantle to Sam Wilson in Avengers: Endgame. Six episodes of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier later, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe officially has a new Captain America.
There are already plans in place for a Captain America 4 movie, though the closing moments of the Disney+ series teased an eventual season two titled Captain America and The Winter Soldier (well, that's one theory; we'd be willing to bet that will be the title of the big screen follow-up).
Now, Marvel Studios has released one final character poster for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier that shows Anthony Mackie's MCU hero suited-up in his awesome new costume. This is a sight we'll be getting used to over the next few years, and we can't wait to see where Sam's story goes next. On social media, #SamWilsonIsCaptainAmerica was trending almost all weekend.
A gallery of official stills featuring the new Cap have also been released (see them here), and we're expecting to have some fresh merchandise featuring the hero to share with you later today.
