The anticipation surrounding

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

is at an all-time high, especially after the debut of the main trailer of the MCU series. The series will reunite

Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes in a globetrotting adventure

, with the pair being pitted against the returning Baron Zemo alongside a dangerous conspiracy.

As the show’s premiere gets closer, plot details about

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

are slowly being unraveled. It was confirmed that the

Sokovia Accords will still play a major part

in the overall narrative while other MCU veterans like Sharon Carter and

James Rhodes are expected to aid the titular characters

in some form.

Now, the latest trailer may hint at a key plot point that revolves around a fan-favorite MCU character.

THE LEGACY OF STEVE ROGERS

The latest

trailer for

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

included several scenes that showcase some kind of memorial for Steve Rogers.

The first evidence is the shot of several military men gathered together in what looks like to be a memorial service for soldiers.

In the same scene, Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson is looking sad while holding Cap’s shield. This is on top of the inclusion of a Captain America banner in the background.

All in all, these scenes suggest that the public will pay tribute to Rogers in grand fashion.

CAPTAIN AMERICA NO MORE?

On the surface, it makes narrative sense for

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

to at least showcase a tribute to Steve Rogers. After all, the series will focus on the legacy of Captain America’s shield.

Spider-Man: Far From Home

established that the public knows that Steve Rogers died during the final battle with Thanos in

Avengers: Endgame

. It looks like this memorial service will take place weeks after Tony Stark’s funeral in

Endgame

, considering that the events of

Far From Home

happened months after the 2019 blockbuster.

If this is the case, it would explain how the public was made aware of Rogers’ “sacrifice” in the final stand against Thanos, thus explaining the numerous tributes that the hero received.

On the flip side, there’s also a chance that this is Steve’s funeral as well, and all of this was done to pay respect to the fallen Avenger.

Whatever the case, it will be interesting to learn how

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

will handle Steve Roger’s legacy in the MCU.
