Chris Evans defended this costar after it was revealed in a new report that he is going to be the new Captain America.

&#8216;The Gray Man&#8217; Star Chris Evans Backs His Marvel Co-star Amid Big Announcements for Captain America 4

It’s been over a decade now that Chris Evans has been playing Captain America.
He’s set a benchmark for everybody who’s going to play the role in the future.
However, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) won’t be playing the role in the next movie
of this series. In a recently released report, it was revealed who’s going to be
the new Captain America. And, as soon as this release happened, a new
controversy was born altogether.

Now the question that comes to everybody’s mind is who is going to be the new
Captain America? So let’s find out.

ABOUT CAPTAIN AMERICA

Steve Rogers goes back in time after Avengers: Endgame. He delivers each
Infinity Stone at the precise moment from where the Avengers took it earlier.
Steve does this to stop the emergence of various parallel universes in which the
stones are absent or missing from specific events.

It is implied that Steve is successful in achieving this, but he does not use
the Avengers’ time machine to return. Instead, Steve makes a comeback as an
elderly man. He reveals that after traveling through time, he spent the next
decades living life to the fullest. Avengers: Endgame leaves open the question
of whether Steve traveled back in time and discovered Peggy Carter (Hayley
Atwell), or whether he went back in time and found her in a different one.

WHO WILL REPLACE CHRIS EVANS?

So, Marvel has decided that rather than introducing someone new as Captain
America, they’re making Falcon [https://www.marvel.com/characters/sam-wilson]
the new one. Actor Anthony Mackie plays the role of Falcon.

The internet was full of tweets against this decision of Marvel as soon as THR
tweeted this. People don’t want Anthony to be Captain America. Most tweets hated
the new Captain America because of his skin color.

…….And these are a few of many! The comment section was rife with many such
opposing tweets.

However, there were a lot of people who supported this decision and praised
Anthony’s acting skills.

According to Marvel comics and the television miniseries The Falcon and the
Winter Soldier, Anthony has already become Captain America. So there shouldn’t
be any debate about who plays the characters. There haven’t been any new
additions; Marvel is just following the comics.

And even if it were a new addition, there shouldn’t be a problem with Anthony
playing the role. He is a brilliant actor, and we’re sure he is going to be a
great Captain America! What do you think?
