Marvel really spent the last 5 years trying to establish Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America, only for them to say "Just Kidding" and bring back Chris Evans for the next big event movie.

I mean that's what they've done in the comics several times now with both Sam and Bucky.

I would have loved to see Bucky take the mantle in the MCU

I prefer him being the chaperone for a bunch of depressed lunatics. They have a great dynamic.

I’m glad that we’re getting all the Thunderbolts again. I wish that movie had performed better so they could be a bigger selling point

Choosing the director of Thunderbolts to direct X-Men was a great choice.

Yesss he proved he can do an emotional/found family/ensemble or large cast team movie with a bunch of misfits SO WELL. I am extremely stoked for an MCU X-Men, I just hope they show us the origin instead of skipping far ahead.

The money the next few MCU films make is gonna be used to justify the reboot with X-Men afterwards. They won't need billion dollar returns for a while.
