I’ve already expressed how I felt about a new Captain America in The Buzz.
Replacing Captain America (Steve Rogers) with a pretender to the throne diminishes Captain America’s legacy. Captain America is not about Captain America - it is about Steve Rogers being a puny boy during WWII, becoming a super soldier, and punching Hitler in the face.
Regardless, Marvel is going ahead with this marketing ploy.
Captain America will either be Iron Man, U.S. Agent, Bucky the Winter Soldier, Union Jack, Hawkeye, or Red Skull!?
My money’s on Bucky (Iron Man doesn’t deserve the honor, U.S. Agent is in Canada, Union Jack is British, Hawkeye is the new Ronin for the New Avengers, and Red Skull is, well, Red Skull). Plus, Bucky was Cap’s sidekick in WW2 and is one of the current focuses of the Captain America series.
