About the Avengers franchise
Marvel fans last saw Captain America, the founding Avenger, in the closing moments of 2019's Avengers: Endgame. After saving the world from Thanos, he makes it his personal mission to return the missing Infinity Stones to their rightful places across time.
After finishing his time-travelling mission, an elderly Steve returns to the main MCU timeline and passes down his red-and-white Vibranium shield to his former sidekick, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), upgrading him from the Falcon to the new Captain America. After bestowing his shield to Sam, Steve then goes back in time to reunite with his beloved Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell).
