That’s another part of the equation.

It’s really important that he not.
“Steve is a member of the Greatest Generation.
“With our story, what we really wanted to start looking at was, how has America changed?
What does it mean to be a patriot now?
Because it means something very different, even in the last two or three years.
While Sam is the public-facing Captain America, Steve will be spending more time in civilian clothes.
But don’t worry: He’s still very much Captain America.
Plus, he’ll still have Bucky around to help him figure things out.
Maybe he’s become too much Captain America and not enough Steve Rogers,” Lanzing says.
What does Captain America mean to Steve beyond being the leader of the Avengers and answering to the government?
Since he feels he’s handed that off.
So what is Steve building?
What is he organizing?
What do his friends need from him specifically?
What does Bucky need from him?”
