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.

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.
