Avengers: Endgame writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely recently opened up on why they think that Captain America’s ending in the film makes sense for his character arc.
Although many fans suspected Captain America wouldn’t make it past from Avengers: Endgame due to the fact that Chris Evans was so emotional about the film on his social media and that his contract with Disney and Marvel Studios expired with that film, we would have never guessed what ultimately happened with Steve Rogers.
By now you should know that at the end of Avengers: Endgame, Captain America takes the borrowed Infinity Stones back to their original timelines and unexpectedly doesn’t come back. Before the Hulk, Bucky and Sam Wilson figure out what happened, they find him sitting on a bench nearby having aged up quite a bit from the moment he left. He reveals to Sam Wilson that he lived the life the Tony Stark always said he should and that he was finally at peace with himself.
Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely talked to Variety about why Steve Rogers decided to stay in the past, which involved two major decisions for Steve Rogers. The first one involved the necessity to pass on the baton of Captain America to Sam Wilson. Markus said that Steve Rogers thought that maybe three wars was enough for him, and he had fulfilled his duty:
“[Steve’s] over 100 years old. He has fought World War II and Civil War and Infinity War. He’s been through three wars. And he has come to a place, I think, where he’s realizing … he needs to take a little time and be a little healthier. I think when he … in a way I think when he encounters his old self back in Avengers Tower, there is a processing going on in his head that well, that’s a really intense and maybe not 100% healthy guy. So I think it is time.”
The second major decision was to live a normal and happy life with Peggy Carter. McFeely told Variety they thought that a natural conclusion for Steve Rogers was to get him more interested in himself:
“We figured out pretty early that … Tony and Steve were sort of on crisscrossing arcs. That Tony movie by movie was becoming … was having a more a macro view, becoming more selfless. And Steve was becoming a bit more self-interested. Civil War is a good example of that. So, we had put up on the wall at one point, Tony becomes a complete person when he loses his life and Steve becomes a complete person when he gets one. We drove toward that.”
