It’s Bucky. There was no surprise to this announcement. Captain America, as well as other titles, have been grooming Bucky to fill the void left in the wake of Cap’s death.
According to Wikipedia, Captain America #34 shows:
“After being captured by the Red Skull, Bucky escapes into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody.Tony Stark shows him the letter from Steve Rogers, in which Rogers’ wishes regarding the future of the Captain America identity are made clear. Bucky agrees to take up the mantle, on the condition that he be answerable to no higher authority.”
I don’t know why Marvel tried to fool readers. I almost wish Stephen Colbert had been right on his show Tuesday - that Colbert would be the new Captain America.
That would have been unexpected.
