This story contains spoilers for the ending of Avengers: Infinity War.

But who will it be?

In the comics, both Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson take over for their friend.

Which one should become Captain America following Chris Evans inevitable departure?

Bucky is arguably more important than any other supporting character in the MCU.

It wouldnt be surprising if it was Marvels plan to eventually give him the shield.

The Avengers rely on Steves (mostly) even-keeled leadership to stay together.

AsCivil Warproves, when Steves leadership and dedication to team allegiance is compromised, The Avengers will splinter.

Bucky is arguably a better fighter than Sam, but Sam is a much better choice for leader.
